This implements abapGit's wall_message_repo and on_event user exits to show the latest abaplint status and summary under the repository name, plus a details page listing each finding's object, name and line number with a code preview and a jump to the object. abaplint access to the GitHub repository and an abaplint.json file are prerequisites, and results are fetched over https://api.github.com/, so SSL trust for that host has to be configured on the system.

abaplint Extension for abapGit
View abaplint results and detailed findings directly in abapGit.

The Problem
After committing changes from abapGit to your repository and running abaplint there, you have to switch to GitHub or another tool to view the abaplint results. If the abaplint check fails, the detailed findings are hard to process since they don't link back to your SAP system where you want to fix the issues.
Note: VSCode with abaplint extension is an exception showing lint results within your ABAP code. But then you are not using abapGit in the first place.
The Solution
This repository provides an extension for abapGit integrating the abaplint results (as user exits). A summary of the results is displayed in the abapGit repository view and details are shown on a separate page with a code preview and an option to jump directly to the code in question.
Repository View
Under the name of the repository, the status and summary of the last abaplint check will be displayed.
You can click on the status icon to open the corresponding page on GitHub. If you click on the result summary, the detailed issues will be shown.
Issue View
The issues are listed similarly to syntax and ATC checks in abapGit. For each finding, the view shows the object type, name, and line number. Below, it prints the abaplint message. A link on the error code opens the corresponding definition on rules.abaplint.org.
Optionally, you can sort the results by object, location, or error code. You can also hide the source code preview.
Installation
Prerequisites
-
SAP Basis 7.02 or higher
-
abapGit needs to be installed
-
abaplint must be installed and given access to your GitHub repository.
-
Install abaplint
-
Give abaplint access to your repos
-
Add abaplint.json to your repo
Get the latest default from schema.abapgit.org
-
Repository
You can install the repository using abapGit creating a new online repository for https://github.com/Marc-Bernard-Tools/ABAP-Lint-Ext-for-abapGit. We recommend using package $ABAPGIT-EXT-ABAPLINT.
User Exits
Implement abapGit user exits wall_message_repo and on_event as follows:
METHOD zif_abapgit_exit~wall_message_repo.
zcl_abaplint_abapgit_ext_exit=>get_instance( )->wall_message_repo(
is_repo_meta = is_repo_meta
ii_html = ii_html ).
ENDMETHOD. METHOD zif_abapgit_exit~on_event.
IF rs_handled IS INITIAL.
rs_handled = zcl_abaplint_abapgit_ext_exit=>get_instance( )->on_event( ii_event ).
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.SSL and Certificates
The abaplint status is retrieved via https://api.github.com/. Therefore, a proper SSL configuration and certificates for api.github.com are required. See SSL setup for details.
