ShellCheck

Vidar Holen's ShellCheck is an invaluable tool for troubleshooting shell scripts, and this package makes it easy to import into the testing pipeline of your PHP-based project!

How it works

This package contains a bin/shellcheck script that serves as a proxy to the system-installed copy of ShellCheck; if the ShellCheck binary is found, arguments pass through to it normally. If ShellCheck is not found locally, users are presented with the following notice:

ShellCheck was not found in your $PATH! Please visit https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#installing for installation instructions.

Normally, this would result in a non-zero exit code (2), though this behavior may be suppressed with the --ignore-missing option:

$ vendor/bin/shellcheck --ignore-missing some-script.sh

ShellCheck was not found in your $PATH!
Please visit https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#installing for installation instructions.

$ echo $?
0

Installation

The easiest way to install this package is via Composer:

$ composer require --dev assertwell/shellcheck

You may wish to add a Composer script to make it easier for team members to run ShellCheck:

# composer.json
{
    // ...
    "scripts": {
        "test:shellcheck": [
            "shellcheck bin/*"
        ]
    },
    "scripts-descriptions": [
        "test:shellcheck": "Lint shell scripts via ShellCheck"
    ]
}

As for the installation of ShellCheck itself, please see the instructions most-relevant to your environment in the ShellCheck documentation.
