| This directory contains configuration files for lint, which is run |
| in as an upload hook for repo upload. |
| |
| lint.xml contains checks that are turned on or off, or whitelisted / |
| blacklisted for particular directories, if they are different from |
| the default. |
| |
| baseline.xml contains the list of existing "grandfathered" lint |
| errors in the codebase. It is generated using ./tools/lint/update_baseline.sh |
| |
| When you hit a lint error that should not be triggered, there are 3 |
| possible resolutions: |
| 1. Use tools:ignore or @SuppressLint annotation. This is preferred |
| for cases where the lint violation is intended, so that reviewers |
| can review whether the suppression is appropriate. |
| 2. Use tools/lint.xml to ignore a lint check which we don't care |
| about for any file, or checks that are not actionable by the |
| CL author (e.g. translation issues) |
| 3. If there are lint errors that should be fixed, but cannot be done |
| immediately for some reason, the issue should be added to |
| baseline.xml. |
