I'll do a rerun of the failed ones. They aren't always 100% non-flaky..

I've found origin of regression (introduced in my first commit, and fixed by second commit). Wait and see if CI is agree with my analysis, but locally it seems to be good !

Cross fingers ;-)

All seems ok except for saleforces_* linters (trivy scanner found vulnerabilities)

They also appear in the auto update PR since yesterday

Do you want it merged now ? If so, when ready, change the title to remove the Work in progress, and I'll do a final read and merge

I need to write some doc and changelog. I will do in next hours.

Finally found another problem. Need to investigate more. I'll be busy tomorrow, so I'll do it only thursday.

[llaville]

Finally, found it ! Now it's time for explains.

On my first approach and commit, I've introduced a test https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/pull/3974/commits/fb1510a841bc1ac1a65dc9a70b92411e0c307625#diff-6edf526a9f6b62ef500e048620fd0d43bbc65957ed84e9033d2ff9f8f03206b4R259

that was usefull for PHPCSFIXER but add a regression for other linters.

So, I go back with second commit https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/pull/3974/commits/0661847cae293c2db45aa08953828f04f7a6b075

It was an error, because even if it restored previous good behaviour for other linters, it won't work anymore for PHPCSFIXER.

My final version that works for all linters is :

• extracted code that activate apply_fixes feature (more pretty and easy to debug) on new function def manage_apply_fixes(self, params)

That gave an extra debug log for each linter; for example :

[Activation] + PHP_PHPCSFIXER (PHP) was activated by ENABLE strategies
[Apply Fixes] is enabled for + PHP_PHPCSFIXER (PHP)

• define default apply_fixes value to False and remove first if test condition that was source or problem

if self.cli_lint_fix_arg_name is None:

• restore fix test file status to original value (before apply fixes), that was in wrong state https://github.com/oxsecurity/megalinter/pull/3974/commits/fb1510a841bc1ac1a65dc9a70b92411e0c307625#diff-6a17d64fcb7bf9898f3d9d0f22cd88bcd6bd083ce6dab6abc74ffaabcb106f4e

Last but not least, I've also :

• added note on PHPCSFIXER about apply_fixes
• added entry into CHANGELOG

That's all !
