This crate provides a command line tool to convert cargo clippy diagnostic output into SARIF.

The latest documentation can be found here.

clippy is a popular linter / static analysis tool for rust. More information can be found on the official repository: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy

SARIF or the Static Analysis Results Interchange Format is an industry standard format for the output of static analysis tools. More information can be found on the official website: https://sarifweb.azurewebsites.net/.

Installation

clippy-sarif may be insalled via cargo

cargo install clippy-sarif

Usage

For most cases, simply run cargo clippy with json output and pipe the results into clippy-sarif.

Example

cargo clippy --message-format=json | clippy-sarif

If you are using Github Actions, SARIF is useful for integrating with Github Advanced Security (GHAS), which can show code alerts in the "Security" tab of your respository.

After uploading clippy-sarif output to Github, clippy diagnostics are available in GHAS.
