linter-lua-globals

luac — The luac program parses lua files. It can be used for detecting errors in lua code. See http://www.lua.org/manual/4.0/luac.html for more informations about luac.

This package will lint your .lua opened files in Atom using a script to find globals. It will lint on edit and/or save, so you'll see instantly if your code has globals you may not be expecting.

The script provided was created originally by Mikk and has been modified to work as a linter.

Directives in the file:

The following directives in the file turn certain features off in the detection

-- GLOBALS: SomeGlobal, SomeOtherGlobal

• The script will never complain about these. There may be multiple lines of these anywhere in the file, taking effect globally (for now). There is no way to un-GLOBAL an already declared global.

-- SETGLOBALFILE [ON/OFF]

• Enable/disable SETGLOBAL checks in the global scope
  • Default: ON

-- SETGLOBALFUNC [ON/OFF]

• Enable/disable SETGLOBAL checks in functions. This setting affects the whole file.
  • Default: ON

-- GETGLOBALFILE [ON/OFF]

• Enable/disable GETGLOBAL checks in functions. This setting affects the whole file.
  • Default: OFF

-- GETGLOBALFUNC [ON/OFF]

• Enable/disable GETGLOBAL checks in functions. This setting affects the whole file.
  • Default: ON

Linting Behaviors

• GETGLOBAL occurrences will be marked as warnings
• SETGLOBAL occurrences will be marked as errors
