frosted PlugIn about pybuilder HOT 5 CLOSED

What is the benefit of frosted, in particular versus flake8?
After a first look, it doesn't even catch "missing whitespace around operator".

From the project page (github) it seems better maintained, as there are no open issues but a lot of closed ones, but I am unsure about the current feedback from linting.

Please note that I am not trying to avoid doing this - by all means, we should provide as many plugins and alternatives as we possibly can - I simply want to do some grooming and wondering if writing this plugin yields more value than, say, generating a description from the markdown.

Well, my thought was that this works like many other cli tools and it would be nice to have something like a base class for this to make it easy to write plugins.

It's already easy with execute_tool_on_source_files, most of the necessary work is dealing with all the options from the program and turning them into properties to expose them to the user.

Maybe you could suggest how you would want to write the frosted plugin (maybe pass a dict with mapping from properties to command line options)?

Yes, or maybe a command-line-builder would be nice. Something like this would reduce the boilerplate in plugins like flake8.

For the command-line builder I have something like this right now :

    command = ExternalCommandWrapper('flake8', project)
    command.has_argument('--ignore={0}').formatted_with_property('flake8_ignore').only_if_property_is_truthy('flake8_ignore')
    command.has_argument('--max-line-length={0}').formatted_with_property('flake8_max_line_length')
    command.has_argument('--exclude={0}').formatted_with_property('flake8_exclude_patterns').only_if_property_is_truthy('flake8_exclude_patterns')

What do you think?
