Installation

Fortitude can be installed directly into your Python environment:

pip install fortitude-lint

It can also be installed as a pure Rust project:

git clone https://github.com/PlasmaFAIR/fortitude
cargo install --path fortitude

Usage

Fortitude can lint your whole project under the working directory using the check command:

fortitude check

You can also call check on individual files, globs, and directories. You can configure what extensions fortitude searches for in directories with --file-extensions:

fortitude check src --file-extensions=f90,fpp

You can select or ignore individual rules or whole groups with --select and --ignore:

# Just check for missing `implicit none`
fortitude check --select=T001
# Also check for missing `implicit none` in interfaces
fortitude check --select=T001,T002
# Ignore all styling rules
fortitude check --ignore=S
# Only check for typing rules, but ignore superfluous implicit none
fortitude check --select=T --ignore=T003
# Rules and categories can also be referred to by name
fortitude check --select=typing --ignore=superfluous-implicit-none

Use --output-format=concise to get shorter output:

$ fortitude check --concise
test.f90:2:1: M001 function not contained within (sub)module or program
test.f90:5:1: S061 end statement should read 'end function double'
test.f90:7:1: M001 subroutine not contained within (sub)module or program
test.f90:8:3: P021 real has implicit kind

The explain command can be used to get extra information about any rules:

# Print extra information for all rules
fortitude explain
# Only get information for selected rules
fortitude explain T001,T011
# Print information on all style rules
fortitude explain S
# Rules and categories can also be referred to by name
fortitude explain style,superfluous-implicit-none

To see further commands and optional arguments, try using --help:

fortitude --help
fortitude check --help

Configuration

Fortitude will look for either a fortitude.toml or fpm.toml file in the current directory, or one of its parents. If using fortitude.toml, settings should be under the command name:

[check]
select = ["S", "T"]
ignore = ["S001", "S051"]
line-length = 132

For fpm.toml files, this has to be additionally nested under the extra.fortitude table:

[extra.fortitude.check]
select = ["S", "T"]
ignore = ["S001", "S051"]
line-length = 132

You can use --extend-select from the command line to select additional rules on top of those in the configuration file.

# Selects S, T, and M categories
fortitude check --extend-select=M
