Developing: Running Cpp Lint Locally (Windows)

Install CppLint

• You need to have Python installed, e.g. Python3.9
• In admin mode: pip3 install cpplint
• If you haven't already, add the site-packages directory (eg. C:\Python39\Lib\site-packages) in the PATH environment variable.
• When you open a new terminal, cpplint.py / cpplint executable should be available.

Run the linter for the LogMonitor project:

• From the /LogMonitor directory, run:

  cpplint --filter=-build/namespaces,-readability/casting,-runtime/reference,-whitespace/braces,-whitespace/parens,-whitespace/newline,-whitespace/comments,-build/c++11 --exclude=LogMonitor/LogMonitorTests --recursive --linelength=120 ./<specify-your-file-path>

• Please note that the project already has about 95 historical violations, just fix the lines that have to do with your changes.
