pre-commit hooks for AL

This is a collection of hooks designed for AL development that can be used with the pre-commit framework.

Installation

These hooks require the pre-commit framework, which is a python library. Check the pre-commit site for details and a quickstart guide.

Usage

In your .pre-commit-config.yaml configuration, add the following to the repos list:

-   repo: https://github.com/cegekaJG/AL-Pre-Commit-Hooks
    rev: v0.2.0  # Use the ref you want to point at
    hooks:
    -   id: compile-al-app
    #   args: [...]
    # -   id: ...

Hooks available

compile-al-app

Compiles all AL apps in the repository. You can use a glob pattern in the arguments to filter apps.

If run in a GitHub runner, it will download the alc.exe compiler from the Visual Studio marketplace. Otherwise, this hook requires the AL extension for Visual Studio Code.

ToDo

• Specify an output directory & a flag to keep the compiled apps
• Allow custom arguments to be passed to the compiler
• Read VS Code settings per app directory
• Automatically pass rulesets & CodeCops from VS Code settings
• Add tests
• New hook: Rename & reorganize AL object files from CRS AL language extension
• New hook: Code cleanup from AZ AL Dev Tools
• New hook: Per-file linting
