The following examples illustrate how precious
executes a command with different invocation
options.
For these examples we will assume that the command is configured to execute for any file ending in
.go
. The executable is some-linter
and only takes paths as argument. The file tree looks like
this:
example
├── app.go
├── main.go
├── pkg1
│ ├── pkg1.go
├── pkg2
│ ├── pkg2.go
│ ├── pkg2_test.go
│ └── subpkg
│ └── subpkg.go
└── precious.toml
- Runs once per file
- Working directory is the project root
- Relative file path as the argument
This is the default configuration.
[commands.some-linter]
invoke = "per-file"
working-dir = "root"
path-args = "file"

some-linter pkg2/pkg2_test.go

- Runs once per file
- From the root
- Absolute file path as the argument

- Runs once per file
- Working directory changes per-directory
- Relative file path as the argument

It's odd to combine working-dir = "dir"
with path-args = "absolute-file"
, but it will work.
