codeclimate-govet is a Code Climate engine that wraps govet. You can run it on your command line using the Code Climate CLI, or on our hosted analysis platform.

govet examines Go source code and reports suspicious constructs, such as Printf calls whose arguments do not align with the format string. Vet uses heuristics that do not guarantee all reports are genuine problems, but it can find errors not caught by the compilers.

1. If you haven't already, install the Code Climate CLI.
2. Run codeclimate engines:enable govet. This command both installs the engine and enables it in your .codeclimate.yml file.
3. You're ready to analyze! Browse into your project's folder and run codeclimate analyze.

In order to build the docker image, you first need to compile a binary for the container. To do that, first install goxc and then run

goxc -bc="linux" -tasks-=go-install,go-vet,go-test,package,archive -d=. -arch=amd64 && \
mv snapshot/linux_amd64/codeclimate-govet bin/codeclimate-govet && \
rm -rf snapshot && \
docker build -t codeclimate/codeclimate-govet .
