alphabetical-backup-lsp

A linter for your backup shell scripts that implements the Language Server Protocol. Currently integrated in a VSCode extension. Only supports linting bash scripts.

directories first. files later. The first argument (file/directory to be copied over) in alphebatical order within the f and d sections.

The d and f commands should be aliased to whatever copy command you'd like to use, e.g. rsync.

It may not be the most practical linter with the most idiomatic code, but it's been a fun, narrow scope project to introduce myself to Rust and explore Tree-sitter, LSPs, and VSCode extension development.

Lint rules

• The first argument to f and d commands must be sorted in alphabetical order within their respective sections.
• The first f command must appear after the last d command.
• The first argument must be a string literal.
• The first argument must exist.

Demo

Sample bash script in docs/samples/.

Development

Run the extension locally:

npm i
cargo run
npm run compile

Open the VSCode debugger and use a project with a sample .sh file.
