lintyservices/linty-test repository overview

⁠Linty Test Platform

Easily and quickly test your code with Linty.

⁠Requirements

This Docker image can be run on a machine:

• Running under Linux, Windows, or Mac
• With AMD, Intel, or ARM processors

Docker requirements are detailed here⁠.

⁠Usage on Linux and macOS

⁠Start the Linty Platform

Run the following command:

docker run -d \
  --name linty \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  lintyservices/linty-test

Follow the Linty platform startup logs with: docker logs -f linty. The Linty platform is up and running as soon as you see:

=========================================
  The Linty platform is up and running.
=========================================

Then, navigate to http://localhost:9000⁠ to verify that the Linty platform is up and running. Credentials: admin / LintyPass123!

⁠Scan Your Code

From the root directory of your HDL project, run a scan of your code:

docker run \
  --rm \
  --net=host \
  --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
  -e SONAR_HOST_URL="http://localhost:9000" \
  -e SONAR_TOKEN="$(docker exec linty cat /opt/sonarqube/data/admin-token.txt)" \
  -v "$(pwd):/usr/src" \
  lintyservices/linty-scanner \
  -Dsonar.core.id=LINTY_TEST \
  -Dsonar.projectKey=test \
  -Dsonar.sources=.

Navigate to http://localhost:9000/dashboard?id=test⁠ to browse the scan results.

See Scan Your Code⁠ documentation page for more details.

⁠Stop the Linty Platform

docker container stop linty

⁠Start the Linty Platform

docker container start linty

⁠Start Over from Scratch

docker container stop linty
docker container rm linty

Then return to the Start the Linty Platform section.

⁠Podman

It also works with Podman. Just replace the above docker commands with podman.

⁠Troubleshooting

⁠permission denied while trying to connect to the docker API

Example error:

permission denied while trying to connect to the docker API at unix:///var/run/docker.sock

Run docker command with sudo: sudo docker run ... or manage Docker as non-root user⁠.

⁠Port 9000 Already in Use

Example error:

docker: Error response from daemon: failed to set up container networking: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint linty (617391ed75656a8a65ee4d5a9d2a49bb1e76cd79a6cf06fc206c5a6f2e5785d5): failed to bind host port for 0.0.0.0:9000:172.17.0.3:9001/tcp: address already in use

Change the host port to an available port (example below uses port 8999):

docker run -d \
  --name linty \
  -p 8999:9000 \
  lintyservices/linty-test:latest

Remember to update the scan command with the new port:

docker run \
  ...
  -e SONAR_HOST_URL="http://localhost:8999" \
  ...
  lintyservices/linty-scanner \
  ...

Also update the Linty platform URL accordingly (e.g. http://localhost:8999/dashboard?id=test⁠).

⁠Usage on Windows

⁠Start the Linty Platform

Run the following PowerShell command:

docker run -d `
  --name linty `
  -p 9000:9000 `
  lintyservices/linty-test

Follow the Linty platform startup logs with: docker logs -f linty. The Linty platform is up and running as soon as you see:

=========================================

Then, navigate to http://localhost:9000⁠ to verify that the Linty platform is up and running. Credentials: admin / LintyPass123!

⁠Scan Your Code

From the root directory of your HDL project, run a scan of your code:

docker run `
  --rm `
  -u="$(wsl id -u):$(wsl id -g)" `
  -e SONAR_HOST_URL="http://host.docker.internal:9000" `
  -e SONAR_TOKEN="$(docker exec linty cat /opt/sonarqube/data/admin-token.txt)" `
  -v "$(pwd):/usr/src" `
  lintyservices/linty-scanner `
  -D"sonar.core.id"=LINTY_TEST `
  -D"sonar.projectKey"=test `
  -D"sonar.sources"=.

Navigate to http://localhost:9000/dashboard?id=test⁠ to browse the scan results.
