[FEATURE] Add optional output formats from linter

[christopherpickering]

• json
• xml
• ?

A lot of lint tools are (ab)using JUnit XML report format, for which there is python library junit-xml

SARIF - Static Analysis Results Interchange Format is an emerging standard for this.

is there also a way to format the output in the console? I am interested to get the output this way it creates clickable links in my IDE

templates/index.html:3:2: T001 Variables should be wrapped in a single whitespace. %}
templates/index.html:5:8: H008 Attributes should be double quoted. class='capitalize w-

@Benoss I suppose it would be possible, but how would it help? You can parse the output, something like this:

regex = ( r"^\s+?(?:(?P\w+\d+))\s" r"(?P\d+):" r"(?P\d+)\s(?P.+)" )

When Pycharm detect something that looks like a relative filepath in the console it automagically creates a link that open the file at the correct line and offset. If the output is with the format above I can click directly to fix the linting issue (already doing it this way for flake8 and mypy)

@Benoss I created #153 for that.

Awesome thanks :)

closing this for now. If a specific format is needed please open a new issue, or a pr.
