| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|
RUN_SYNTAX | 1 | Set to 0 to skip syntax check |
RUN_LINT | 1 | Set to 0 to skip shellcheck lint |
SHELLCHECK_SEVERITY | warning | shellcheck --severity level (error, warning, info, style) |
FAIL_FAST | 0 | Set to 1 to stop after first failure (or use --fail-fast) |
CHANGED_FILES | (empty) | Space-separated changed file paths; scopes checks to those .sh files |
MAX_LINES | 40 | Max output lines printed per step (unlimited in CI) |
KEEP_DIR | 0 | Set to 1 to keep temp log dir on success |
Output Format
- Each step prints a header (
Step: syntax, Step: lint)
- Results are
PASS, FAIL, or SKIP
- On failure, output is truncated to
MAX_LINES
- Failed shellcheck results include wiki links for each error code
- Full logs are saved to a temp directory (path printed in output)
- Overall result is printed at the end:
Overall: PASS or Overall: FAIL
Important Notes
- The script discovers all
.sh files recursively, excluding .git, node_modules, and vendor
CHANGED_FILES scopes checks to only the listed .sh files that existSHELLCHECK_SEVERITY controls the minimum severity level for shellcheck warnings- In CI (
CI=true), MAX_LINES defaults to unlimited; locally it defaults to 40
