Lint

The KCL Lint tool supports checking some warning-level defects in KCL code and supports multiple output formats. This document shows how to use the KCL Lint tool.

Example

Project Structure

.
└── Test
└── kcl.mod
└── a.k
└── b.k
└── dir
└── c.k
└── test.k

a.k, b.k, c.k and test.k are the kcl file to be checked.

Args:

kcl lint your_config.k

or

kcl lint your_config_path

Args

This command lints the kcl code. 'kcl lint' takes multiple input for arguments.

For example, 'kcl lint path/to/kcl.k' will lint the file named path/to/kcl.k

kcl lint [flags]

Examples:
# Lint a single file and output YAML
kcl lint path/to/kcl.k

# Lint multiple files
kcl lint path/to/kcl1.k path/to/kcl2.k
