lint-blame

library0.0.11jsnpmunverified

A CLI tool (v0.0.11, low-activity) that filters linter output by blaming lines to specific authors or dates, enabling incremental adoption of new lint rules without rewriting the entire codebase. It pipes linter output (e.g., TSLint) and parses complaint formats (tslint4, tslint5, tsconfig), then uses git blame to retain only those lines matching a set of members or a since date. Unmaintained since 2020, no updates for Node >=10+ compatibility issues.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import blameLint from 'lint-blame'

✗ const blameLint = require('lint-blame')

ESM-only since Node 12+; package ships CommonJS, so require works, but TypeScript types are bundled.

LintBlameOptions

✓ import { LintBlameOptions } from 'lint-blame'

Type-only export for TypeScript users.

Demonstrates filtering TSLint output by date and author using lint-blame programmatically.

import blameLint from 'lint-blame'; import { readFileSync } from 'fs'; const tslintOutput = readFileSync('/dev/stdin', 'utf8'); const options = { format: 'tslint5', since: '2023-01-01', members: [{ name: 'Developer', email: 'dev@example.com' }] }; const filtered = blameLint(tslintOutput, options); console.log(filtered);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaRequires git repository with .git directory; fails silently if not in a git repo.

fix

Run the tool from within a git repository.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedOnly supports TSLint formats (tslint4, tslint5, tsconfig); no ESLint or other linter support.

fix

Use lint-staged or eslint-filtered-files instead for modern linting.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingOption '--members' requires both name and email; missing fields cause crash.

fix

Ensure each member object includes both 'name' and 'email'.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaPipe input must be the linter's stdout; reading from file not directly supported.

fix

Use shell redirection: cat lint-output.txt | lint-blame ...

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'lint-blame'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

npm install lint-blame

TypeError: Cannot read property 'match' of undefined

The linter output format does not match expected pattern.

fix

Verify the --format flag matches your linter output (tslint4/tslint5/tsconfig).

Fatal error: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

The command must be run from within a git repository.

fix

Change to a git repository directory or initialize one with 'git init'.
