This directory contains linters that can be used to check Gnostic models.
Linters are plugins that generate no files but instead return messages in their responses. Each message can include a level, an identifier, text, and a key path in an API description associated with that message. Messages are collected by gnostic and written to a common output file, allowing multiple linter plugins to be invoked in a single gnostic run.
The following invocation runs the gnostic-lint-paths and gnostic-lint-descriptions plugins and writes their messages to a file named lint.pb.
% gnostic examples/v2.0/yaml/petstore.yaml --lint-paths --lint-descriptions --messages-out=lint.pb
Message files can be displayed using the report-messages tool in the apps directory.
