config_discovery​

--[no-]shellcheck-config-discovery
PANTS_SHELLCHECK_CONFIG_DISCOVERY
pants.toml
[shellcheck]
config_discovery = <bool>
default: True

If true, Pants will include all relevant .shellcheckrc and shellcheckrc files during runs. See https://www.mankier.com/1/shellcheck#RC_Files for where these can be located.

known_versions​

--shellcheck-known-versions="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_SHELLCHECK_KNOWN_VERSIONS
pants.toml
[shellcheck]
known_versions = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "v0.7.1|darwin|b080c3b659f7286e27004aa33759664d91e15ef2498ac709a452445d47e3ac23|1348272",
  "v0.7.1|linux|64f17152d96d7ec261ad3086ed42d18232fcb65148b44571b564d688269d36c8|1443836"
]

Known versions to verify downloads against.

Each element is a pipe-separated string of version|platform|sha256|length, where:

  • version is the version string
  • platform is one of [darwin,linux],
  • sha256 is the 64-character hex representation of the expected sha256 digest of the download file, as emitted by shasum -a 256
  • length is the expected length of the download file in bytes, as emmitted by wc -c

E.g., 3.1.2|darwin|6d0f18cd84b918c7b3edd0203e75569e0c7caecb1367bbbe409b44e28514f5be|42813.

Values are space-stripped, so pipes can be indented for readability if necessary.

url_platform_mapping​

--shellcheck-url-platform-mapping="{'key1': val1, 'key2': val2, ...}"
PANTS_SHELLCHECK_URL_PLATFORM_MAPPING
pants.toml
[shellcheck.url_platform_mapping]
key1 = val1
key2 = val2
...
default: 
{
  "darwin": "darwin",
  "linux": "linux"
}

A dictionary mapping platforms to strings to be used when generating the URL to download the tool.

In --url-template, anytime the {platform} string is used, Pants will determine the current platform, and substitute {platform} with the respective value from your dictionary.

For example, if you define {"darwin": "apple-darwin", "linux": "unknown-linux"}, and run Pants on Linux, then {platform}` will be substituted in the --url-template option with unknown-linux.

url_template​

--shellcheck-url-template=<str>
PANTS_SHELLCHECK_URL_TEMPLATE
pants.toml
[shellcheck]
url_template = <str>
default: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/{version}/shellcheck-{version}.{platform}.x86_64.tar.xz

URL to download the tool, either as a single binary file or a compressed file (e.g. zip file). You can change this to point to your own hosted file, e.g. to work with proxies or for access via the filesystem through a file:// URL.

Use {version} to have the value from --version substituted, and {platform} to have a value from --url-platform-mapping substituted in, depending on the current platform. For example, https://github.com/.../protoc-&#123;version&#125;-&#123;platform&#125;.zip.

version​

--shellcheck-version=<str>
PANTS_SHELLCHECK_VERSION
pants.toml
[shellcheck]
version = <str>
default: v0.7.1

Use this version of shellcheck.
