PMD has been updated to use the renamed BaseTool
class and to take
advantage of the new dependency management, to simplify code.
As part of this, configuration has become standardized, allowing the
pmd
tool path to be located on the fileystem (if in $PATH
) or
configured in the worker's exe_paths
setting. This has the additional
small benefit of caching the pmd
binary path, so it doesn't have to be
looked up in $PATH
at execution time.
The old pmd_path
setting has been deprecated. It will be transitioned
over when loading the configuration. Documentation has been updated to
discuss this.
The list of file extensions are now more forgiving. Extra commas, spaces,
and leading .
for file extensions are handled correctly.
The documentation has been fleshed out to go over the fields present
during tool configuration.
Unit tests have been added for handle_file()
, to give us a base for
future work and to ensure that the cached pmd
path is being used.
