Overview

Luacheck is a static analyzer and a linter for Lua. Luacheck detects various issues such as usage of undefined global variables, unused variables and values, accessing uninitialized variables, unreachable code and more. Most aspects of checking are configurable: there are options for defining custom project-related globals, for selecting set of standard globals (version of Lua standard library), for filtering warnings by type and name of related variable, etc. The options can be used on the command line, put into a config or directly into checked files as Lua comments.

Luacheck supports checking Lua files using syntax of Lua 5.1, Lua 5.2, Lua 5.3 and LuaJIT. Luacheck itself is written in Lua and runs on all of mentioned Lua versions.

Installation

Using LuaRocks

From your command line run the following command (using sudo if necessary):

luarocks install luacheck

For parallel checking Luacheck additionally requires LuaLanes, which can be installed using LuaRocks as well (luarocks install lanes).

Windows binary download

For Windows there is single-file 64-bit binary distribution, bundling Lua 5.3.4, Luacheck, LuaFileSystem, and LuaLanes using LuaStatic: download.

Basic usage

After Luacheck is installed, run luacheck program from the command line. Pass a list of files, rockspecs or directories (requires LuaFileSystem) to be checked:

luacheck src extra_file.lua another_file.lua
Checking src/good_code.lua               OK
Checking src/bad_code.lua                3 warnings

    src/bad_code.lua:3:23: unused variable length argument
    src/bad_code.lua:7:10: setting non-standard global variable embrace
    src/bad_code.lua:8:10: variable opt was previously defined as an argument on line 7

Checking src/python_code.lua             1 error

    src/python_code.lua:1:6: expected '=' near '__future__'

Checking extra_file.lua                  5 warnings

    extra_file.lua:3:18: unused argument baz
    extra_file.lua:4:8: unused loop variable i
    extra_file.lua:13:7: accessing uninitialized variable a
    extra_file.lua:14:1: value assigned to variable x is unused
    extra_file.lua:21:7: variable z is never accessed

Checking another_file.lua                2 warnings

    another_file.lua:2:7: unused variable height
    another_file.lua:3:7: accessing undefined variable heigth

Total: 10 warnings / 1 error in 5 files

Editor support

There are a few plugins which allow using Luacheck directly inside an editor, showing warnings inline:

If you are a plugin developer, see recommended way of using Luacheck in a plugin.

Other projects

Documentation

Documentation is available online. If Luacheck has been installed using LuaRocks, it can be browsed offline using luarocks doc luacheck command.

Documentation can be built using Sphinx: sphinx-build docsrc doc, the files will be found inside doc/.

Development

Luacheck is currently in development. The latest released version is 0.23.0. The interface of the luacheck module may change between minor releases. The command line interface is fairly stable.

Use the Luacheck issue tracker on GitHub to submit bugs, suggestions and questions. Any pull requests are welcome, too.

Building and testing

After the Luacheck repo is cloned and changes are made, run luarocks make (using sudo if necessary) from its root directory to install dev version of Luacheck. To run Luacheck using sources in current directory without installing it, run lua -e 'package.path="./src/?.lua;./src/?/init.lua;"..package.path' bin/luacheck.lua .... To test Luacheck, ensure that you have busted and luautf8 installed and run busted.
