Install MegaLinter on Concourse	Manual instructions to setup MegaLinter as a Concourse job

Concourse

Pipeline step

Use the following job step in your pipeline template.

Note: Make sure you have a job.plan.get step that retrieves the repo containing your repository, as shown in the example.

---

  - name: linting
    plan:
      - get: repo
      - task: linting
        config:
          platform: linux
          image_resource:
            type: docker-image
            source:
              repository: oxsecurity/megalinter
              tag: v9
          inputs:
            - name: repo
          run:
            path: bash
            args:
            - -cxe
            - |
              cd repo
              export DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=$(pwd)
              bash -ex /entrypoint.sh
              ## doing this because concourse doesn't work as other CI systems
          # params:
            # PARALLEL: true
            # DISABLE: SPELL
            # APPLY_FIXES: all
            # DISABLE_ERRORS: true
            # VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE: true

OR

Use it as a reusable task

Create a reusable Concourse task that can be used with multiple pipelines.

Create task file task-linting.yaml

---
platform: linux
image_resource:
  type: docker-image
  source:
    repository: oxsecurity/megalinter
    tag: v9

inputs:
- name: repo

## uncomment this if you want reports as task output
# output:
# - name: reports
#   path: repo/megalinter-reports

run:
  path: bash
  args:
  - -cxe
  - |
    cd repo
    export DEFAULT_WORKSPACE=$(pwd)
    bash -ex /entrypoint.sh

Use that task-linting.yaml task in your pipeline.

Note:

Make sure task-linting.yaml is available in the repo input at the repository root.
Task output is not shown here.
