gl-code-quality-openapi-validator

GitLab Code Quality generator for IBM's OpenAPI Validator.

Intro

gl-code-quality-openapi-validator converts the JSON file output of IBM's OpenAPI Validator to a GitLab Code Quality report JSON file. This file can then be exposed from a GitLab CI/CD job as an artifact and used to display code quality changes directly on the merge request.

Installation

To install this project you will need to have Node.js (>=16.0.0) installed. gl-code-quality-openapi-validator has been tested on the current LTS versions, 16.0.X and 18.0.X.

To install gl-code-quality-openapi-validator using npm execute:

npm install -g gl-code-quality-openapi-validator

The -g option installs gl-code-quality-openapi-validator globally so that it can be run from anywhere in the file system.

To execute gl-code-quality-openapi-validator after installing globally run:

gl-code-quality-openapi-validator

gl-code-quality-openapi-validator is designed to work with the JSON file output of IBM's OpenAPI Validator. Instructions for installation and usage can be found here.

The following command runs lint-openapi against openapi-spec.yml and redirects the JSON output to openapi-validator-report.json. gl-code-quality-openapi-validator is then able to convert this file into a GitLab Code Quality report.

lint-openapi --json openapi-spec.yml >> openapi-validator-report.json
gl-code-quality-openapi-validator -s openapi-spec.yml 

Options

gl-code-quality-openapi-validator has a handful of options. These options can be used to override the defaults that have been provided. For example:

gl-code-quality-openapi-validator -s ./specification/openapi-specification.yml -i /reporting/openapi-validator-report.json -o ./code-quality/gl-code-quality-report.json

Local Development

Prerequisites

To install, run and modify this project you will need to have:

• Node.js
• Git

Installation

To start, please fork and clone the repository to your local machine. You are able to run the service directly on the command line or with your IDE of choice.

Running

Command Line

gl-code-quality-openapi-validator

Testing

All tests have been written using Jest. To run the tests execute:

npm test

Code coverage is also measured by Jest and set to a minimum of 95%. To run tests with coverage execute:

npm run test:coverage

Code coverage reports can be found in the /coverage/ directory.

Conventional Commits

This project uses the Conventional Commits specification for commit messages. The specification provides a simple rule set for creating commit messages, documenting features, fixes, and breaking changes in commit messages.

A pre-commit configuration file has been provided to automate commit linting. Ensure that pre-commit has been installed and execute...

pre-commit install

...to add a commit Git hook to your local machine.

An automated pipeline job has been configured to lint commit messages on a push.

GitHub Actions

CI/CD pipelines has been created using GitHub Actions to automated tasks such as linting, testing, and releasing.

Build Workflow

The build workflow handles integration tasks. This workflow consists of two jobs, Git and Node, that run in parallel. This workflow is triggered on a push to a branch.

Git

This job automates tasks relating to repository linting and enforcing best practices.

Node

This job automates Node.js specific tasks.

Release Workflow

The release workflow handles release tasks. This workflow consists of one job, npm. This workflow is triggered manually from the GitHub Actions UI.

npm

This job automates tasks relating to updating changelog, and publishing to npm.
