JSON Lint Buildkite Plugin

Checks JSON files and flags syntax errors

Introduction

Have you ever updated JSON configuration or ejson secrets, had all your pre-production tests pass and then find you have a missing comma in your production configuration?

Does Buildkite already perform checks on your repository?

This plugin is for you!

Development status

This plugin is based on Markdown Lint Buildkite Plugin. It will be useful on some projects at work but I wrote it in my own time and haven't had a chance to try it at work yet. Perhaps check the pulse to see if it's used.

To run the tests locally:

./scripts/test

Getting started
