Plugin Example

Build

go build -o plugin_example main.go

NOTE: protolint plugin is backed by hashicorp/go-plugin, not the plugin standard library.

Therefore, you can build the plugin just as a normal Go main package.

Run

protolint -plugin ./plugin_example /path/to/files

# Or you can pass some flags to your plugin:
protolint -plugin "./plugin_example -go_style=false" /path/to/files

# You can see that your plugin is loaded correctly.
protolint list -plugin ./plugin_example

NOTE: sh must be in your PATH.

NOTE2: Even when you specify the plugin, the configuration defined in .protolint.yaml can stop your plugin from working. Check the yaml when your plugin doesn't appear to be working. See #260 in detail.
