Currently, there are a few linting functions that only run on certain
filetypes (determined by the file extension). Prior to this commit, the
special cases were handled in a parent function with a conditional. This
commit changes the system so each linting function gets passed a
filename so the function can determine whether it should run or not
based on the file extension.
I also refactored flake8 linting slightly. From what I've read so far of
the code, flake8 itself will only print the results directly to stdout
(though the linter would report the quantity of errors detected).
Prior to this commit, we would let flake8 print directly to stdout and
just determine if there were >0 errors reported. This commit (sort of
hackily) temporarily captures stdout when we call flake8 so we can do
what we want with the output, allowing us to `yield` the line number
and message like we do with the other linting functions.
In my opinion, both of these changes isolate specific behaviors/checks
into their respective linting functions instead of having them handled
at a more global level.
In addition to the changes above:
* The whitespace linter now runs on WebIDL and TOML files
* The license header linter now runs on WebIDL files
Recently, I found myself reading through the Python codegen scripts that
live in 'components/script/dom/bindings/*' and noticed that there were
many tidy violations: unnecessary semicolons, weird spacing, unused
variables, lack of license headers, etc. Considering these files are now
living in our tree and mostly maintained directly by contributors of
Servo (as opposed to being from upstream), I feel these files should not
be excluded from our normal tidy process. This commit removes the
blacklist on these files and fixes all tidy violations.
I added these subdirectories to the blacklist because they appear to be
maintained upstream somewhere else:
* "components/script/dom/bindings/codegen/parser/*",
* "components/script/dom/bindings/codegen/ply/*",
Also, I added a '# noqa' comment which tells us to ignore the
flake8 errors for that line. I chose to ignore this (instead of fixing
it) to make the work for this commit simpler for me.
