Add Mega-Linter in list of integrating tools

[nvuillam]

Hi, thanks for your linter :)

I integrated it in Mega-Linter, can I put a link here ? :)

Internal documentation is https://nvuillam.github.io/mega-linter/descriptors/scala_scalafix/, do you have remarks ?

Best regards :)

Thanks for the integration @nvuillam.

One gotcha is that - as far as I can see - you are running scalafix without prior scalax compilation & semanticdb generation, so you cannot provide any of the semantic options to the CLI. That means that usage of scalafix is limited to built-in syntactic rules. I think it would be useful to mention this limitation in your documentation and in the link on the Scalafix documentation.

Thanks for your reply :)

Is there a way to generically perform scalax compilation and semanticdb generation via cli ?

• If yes I may be able to run them before calling scalafix
• If not I can just update the doc to specify the use of scalafix in Mega-Linter is limited to built-in syntactic rules

scalafix-core may compile and generate sources on demand, but this feature is not documented and very fragile, so the short answer is no. That's why I also suggest to simply mention this limitation rather than trying to overcome it.

Updated !

Is is ok like that ? https://nvuillam.github.io/mega-linter/descriptors/scala_scalafix/

I also updated my PR (online in github editor, so you may use Squash & merge option to avoid useless commits in master )

A suggestion for the intro of https://nvuillam.github.io/mega-linter/descriptors/scala_scalafix/ focusing on the user-facing limitations

Scalafix lints and fixes scala files

• Semantic rules are not supported
• External rules are not supported

as you wish :)
