# Refactoring the platform with lint
|
|
Inspiration: go/refactor-the-platform-with-lint\
|
|
**Special Thanks: brufino@, azharaa@, for the prior work that made this all possible**
|
|
|
|
## What is this?
|
|
|
|
It's a python script that runs the framework linter,
|
|
and then (optionally) copies modified files back into the source tree.\
|
|
Why python, you ask? Because python is cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
|
|
|
|
Incidentally, this exposes a much simpler way to run individual lint checks
|
|
against individual modules, so it's useful beyond applying fixes.
|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
|
|
Lint is not allowed to modify source files directly via lint's `--apply-suggestions` flag.
|
|
As a compromise, soong zips up the (potentially) modified sources and leaves them in an intermediate
|
|
directory. This script runs the lint, unpacks those files, and copies them back into the tree.
|
|
|
|
## How do I run it?
|
|
**WARNING: You probably want to commit/stash any changes to your working tree before doing this...**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
source build/envsetup.sh
|
|
lunch cf_x86_64_phone-userdebug # or any lunch target
|
|
m lint_fix
|
|
lint_fix -h
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script's help output explains things that are omitted here.
