YAML Linter

The following task is used to provide static analysis on YAML files mounted using yamllint (YAML linter).

Installing the Task

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tektoncd/catalog/master/task/yaml-lint/0.1/yaml-lint.yaml

Parameters

• args: The extra params along with the file path needs to be provided as the part of args. (Default: ["--help"])

Workspaces

• shared-workspace : The workspace containing files on which we want to apply linter check. It can be a shared workspace with the git-clone task or a ConfigMap mounted containing some files.

Usage

1. Create the git-clone task

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tektoncd/catalog/master/task/git-clone/0.1/git-clone.yaml

2. Create the PVC

3. Apply the required tasks

4. Create the Pipeline and PipelineRun for YAML linter
