0.19.0
Breaking changes:
- New format for defining standard sets of globals that can
describe all allowed fields of each global.
New features and improvements:
- Luacheck can now detect mutations and accesses of specific fields
within globals. Standard global definitions have been updated
to provide precise lists of allowed fields. This also
works through local aliases (e.g.local t = table; t.upsert()
produces a warning, butlocal t = table; t.insert()
does not). - Default set of allowed globals is now equal to globals normally
provided by version of Lua used to run Luacheck, instead of
all globals set in the interpreter while it runs Luacheck. - All options that operate on lists of global names can now use
field names as well. E.g.--not-globals string.len
undefines
standard fieldstring.len
. Additionally, config options
globals
,new_globals
,read_globals
,new_read_globals
can use a table-based format to define trees of allowed fields. - Lines that are longer than some maximum length are now reported.
Default limit is 120. Limit can be changed usingmax_line_length
option. - Warnings related to trailing whitespace in comments
and inside string literals now use separate warning codes. - Luacheck no longer reports a crash with a long traceback when
interrupted, instead it simply exits with an error message.
Fixes:
- Fixes inconsistent indentation not being detected on lines
with trailing whitespace.
