vvv 0.1.1

A convenience utility for software source code validation and linting

VVV is a tool for easy validation and linting integration for your software project. With a single command validate all files, no matter in which programming language, in a source tree against a policy you specify in a simple configuration file. VVV prevents bad stuff to be committed in your software source control or makes cleaning it up easier.

Benefits

• Enforce coding conventions across multiple developers

• Enable linting and validators support for your software project with a single command

• Automatically guide committers to policy guidelines and let them fix errors themselves, instead of having post-commit personal coaching.

• Provide sane default validation and linting options for all popular programming languages and file formats

• Run VVV as continuous integration service with systems like Travis CI or Jenkins and shoot down bad code push-ins

What VVV doesn’t do

• This is not automated testing tool. We just scan files against a policy, not for programming errors. Linting tools tend to pick up programming errors, too though, like mistyped names.

Features

• Set-up for your software repository with two files validation-options.yaml (configuration) and validation-files.yaml (whitelist/blacklist)

• VVV automatically downloads and locally installs required software - you don’t need to spend time hunting downloads or distribution packages

• Check file against hard tabs and whitespace policies - no more different tab width ever

• Prevent committing hard source code breakpoints, like Python’s import pdb ; pdb.set_trace()

• Support (on its way) for Subversion, Git, Github, Travis CI, Jenkings and other popular version control and continuous integration systems
