0.65.0: Fresh Folded Fixtures

Breaking

• SwiftLint now requires Swift 6.1 or higher for development (to run tests). The
  executable can still be built with a Swift 6 compiler. The Swift Package Manager plugins
  continue to work with all versions down to Swift 5.9.
  SimplyDanny

Enhancements

• SwiftLint now builds with Bazel versions 7 to 9.

With bzlmod:

// Pending BCR update
bazel_dep(name = "swiftlint", version = "0.65.0", repo_name = "SwiftLint")

Without bzlmod, put this in your WORKSPACE:

WORKSPACE

0.64.1: All Windows Opened

Bug Fixes

• Honor excluded paths when the linted project is located under a system directory
  on macOS that resolves through a symlink, such as /var and /tmp (which point
  to /private/var and /private/tmp).
  tumata
  #6782

0.64.0: All Windows Opened

Breaking

• The ignored_literal_argument_functions option of the force_unwrapping rule now
  uses the configured value as-is instead of always merging in the five built-in defaults
  (URL(string:), NSURL(string:), UIImage(named:), NSImage(named:), Data(hexString:)).
  Those five functions remain the default when the option is not configured, but setting
  ignored_literal_argument_functions to any explicit list — including [] — now fully
  replaces the defaults. Configurations that add functions on top of the defaults must now
  explicitly include the five previously-default functions in their list.
  SimplyDanny
  #6675

Enhancements

• SwiftLint can now be built and run on Windows. It is expected to work in the same way as
  on other platforms. The only restrictions are missing support for ?[] glob patterns in
  include/exclude patterns and the requirement for \n as line ending in all linted files.

  #6351
  #6352

• Rename allow_implicit_init to include_implicit_init for the
  optional_data_string_conversion rule to convey its purpose more clearly.
  SimplyDanny
  #6670

• Improve linting performance by 10-15%, especially when running with many
  threads, by optimizing cache locking and reducing contention. Depending on
  the project and level of concurrency, the performance improvement can be even
  higher (3-4x).
  SimplyDanny

• Rewrite the following rules with SwiftSyntax:

  SimplyDanny

• Fix false positive in accessibility_label_for_image rule for images inside
  SwiftUI Label's icon: closure, which are inherently labeled by the
  Label's text content.
  sutheesh
  #6420

Bug Fixes

• Fix literal_expression_end_indentation autocorrection deleting source code
  when the closing bracket of a multiline literal shares a line with the end of
  a multiline last element (e.g. ...))]). The corrector assumed everything
  before the bracket on that line was indentation and replaced it; it now moves
  only the bracket to its own line at the expected indentation.
  Luan Câmara
  #2823

• Don't rewrite the type operand of an is / as? / as! cast (such as
  x is A) to Self in prefer_self_in_static_references when inside a
  class-like scope. Self is the dynamic type, so the rewrite silently changed
  runtime behavior for non-final classes (x is Self is not equivalent to
  x is A). Mirrors the rule's existing X.self skip; static member references
  such as A.f() are still corrected.
  Brett-Best
  #6764

• Avoid false positives in vertical_parameter_alignment when a parameter is
  preceded by multi-byte characters, such as a function name containing
  non-ASCII letters. Alignment is now compared by visible column rather than by
  UTF-8 byte offset.
  systemBlue
  #5037

• Treat macro declarations like function declarations for line_length when
  ignores_function_declarations is enabled.
  leno23
  #5648

• Make Glob.expandGlobstar tolerant of unreadable directory entries on
  large trees. subpathsOfDirectory(atPath:) aborted the entire glob
  expansion on the first unreadable entry (permission denied, dangling
  symlink, file removed mid-scan), causing most files in large projects to
  be silently ignored. Replace the directory walk with a lazy URL
  enumerator that has a per-item error handler so unreadable items are
  skipped individually.
  Chupik

• Avoid false positives in prefer_self_in_static_references for generic
  constraints and generic parameter bounds such as where A: P and <A: P>
  in classes and extensions.
  SimplyDanny
  #6674

• Don't rewrite a type reference to Self in prefer_self_in_static_references
  when it appears in a protocol composition (such as any A & B), as the
  constraint of an existential or opaque type (such as any A or some A), or
  as the base of an existential metatype (such as A.Protocol), since the named
  type is not interchangeable with Self in those positions.

0.63.3: High-Speed Extraction

Enhancements

• Treat extensions like classes in the prefer_self_in_static_references
  rule.
  itsybitsybootsy
  #3993

• Print fixed code read from stdin to stdout.
  SimplyDanny
  #6501

• Add new redundant_final rule that detects final modifiers on declarations
  where they are redundant due to the containing context, such as final classes
  or actors. Final actors are themselves implicitly final, so the final modifier
  is redundant on them as well.
  william-laverty
  SimplyDanny
  #6407

• Add discouraged_default_parameter opt-in rule that flags default parameter
  values in functions with configurable access levels.
  William-Laverty
  #6488

• Add ignored_literal_argument_functions option to the force_unwrapping rule
  to skip violations for configurable function calls when all arguments are
  literal values (e.g. URL(string: "https://example.com")!). Defaults
  include URL(string:), NSURL(string:), UIImage(named:),
  NSImage(named:), and Data(hexString:).
  claudeaceae
  #6487

• Add rules array to SARIF reporter output, providing metadata for all
  built-in rules in accordance with the SARIF specification.
  ahmadalfy
  #6499

• Add allow_underscore_prefixed_names option to unused_parameter so
  underscore-prefixed parameter names can be treated as intentionally
  unused when configured.
  theamodhshetty
  #5741

• Add detection of cases such as String.init(decoding: data, as: UTF8.self) and
  let text: String = .init(decoding: data, as: UTF8.self) to
  optional_data_string_conversion rule.
  nadeemnali
  #6359

• Add new default invisible_character rule that detects invisible characters
  like zero-width space (U+200B), zero-width non-joiner (U+200C),
  and FEFF formatting character (U+FEFF) in string literals, which can cause
  hard-to-debug issues.
  kapitoshka438
  #6045

• Add variable_shadowing rule that flags when a variable declaration shadows
  an identifier from an outer scope.
  nadeemnali
  #6228

• Add legacy_uigraphics_function rule to encourage the use of modern
  UIGraphicsImageRenderer instead of the legacy UIGraphics{Begin|End}ImageContext.
  The modern replacement is safer, cleaner, Retina-aware and more performant.
  Dimitri Dupuis-Latour
  #6268

• Support access level modifiers on imports in unused_imports rule.
  SimplyDanny

  #6153

• Avoid false positives from unused_enumerated when higher-order calls on
  .enumerated() use result members like ?.offset after the closure.
  theamodhshetty
  #5881

• Add an ignore_attributes option to implicit_optional_initialization so
  wrappers/attributes that require explicit = nil can be excluded from
  style checks for both style: always and style: never.
  theamodhshetty
  #3998

• Skip @TestState properties in quick_discouraged_call rule, matching
  existing @TestInjected and @TestWeakly exclusions.

• Properly taint variables in tuples for unneeded_escaping rule.
  SimplyDanny
  #6621

• Ensure that disable commands work for redundant_nil_coalescing rule.
  SimplyDanny
  #6465

• Take try expressions in call parameters into account even if the call has
  trailing closures as well, so that an outer throws is not considered unneeded
  in the unneeded_throws_rethrows rule.
  SimplyDanny
  #6491

• Ensure that disable commands work for prefer_key_path rule when the trailing
  closure starts on a different line than the function call as a whole.
  SimplyDanny
  #6466

• Track identifiers declared in tuples to avoid false positives in the
  redundant_self rule.
  SimplyDanny
  #6553

• Respect existing environment variables when setting BUILD_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY
  in build tool plugins.
  SimplyDanny
  #6080

• Fix false positives in indentation_width rule for continuation lines
  of multi-line guard/if/while conditions. A new option
  include_multiline_conditions (default: false) skips these lines by
  default. When enabled, it validates that continuation lines are aligned
  with the first condition after the keyword.
  tanaev
  #4961

• multiline_call_arguments no longer reports violations for enum-case patterns in
  pattern matching (e.g. if case, switch case, for case, catch).
  GandaLF2006

• Avoid false positives in prefer_self_in_static_references when a nested type
  shadows its enclosing type name.
  theamodhshetty
  #5917

0.63.2: High-Speed Extraction

Enhancements

• Add ignore_regex configuration option to the large_tuple rule to silence
  violations for tuples inside Regex<...> types, which commonly have large
  tuple type parameters for capture groups.

0.63.1: High-Speed Extraction

Enhancements

• Add a --disable-sourcekit flag to the lint command to disable SourceKit when needed.

  To enable checking for all redundant self usages, set the new only_in_closures
  option to false.
  SimplyDanny

Experimental

• None.

Enhancements

• Extend redundant_self_in_closure rule to detect all redundant uses of self,
  not just in closures. Initializers (which commonly prefer an explicit self prefix)
  can be ignored by setting keep_in_initializers to true.
  SimplyDanny

• Add a separation configuration option to the vertical_whitespace_between_cases rule
  to allow customizing blank line separation between switch cases. The default value is
  always (require at least one blank line). Setting it to never enforces no blank
  lines between cases.
  SimplyDanny

0.63.1: High-Speed Extraction

Enhancements

• Add a --disable-sourcekit flag to the lint command to disable SourceKit when needed.
  The environment variable SWIFTLINT_DISABLE_SOURCEKIT can still be used as well.

  #6282

Bug Fixes

• Retain async initializers in actors in async_without_await rule.
  SimplyDanny
  #6423

• Inform users about files being skipped due to impossible file system representation
  instead of crashing.
  SimplyDanny
  #6419

• Ignore override functions in async_without_await rule.
  SimplyDanny
  #6416

• Avoid infinite recursion for deeply nested symbolic links which is usually the case
  in node_modules directories managed by pnpm.
  SimplyDanny
  #6425

• Fix false positive in unneeded_escaping rule when an escaping closure is used in
  a nested closure preceded by another closure.
  SimplyDanny
  #6410

• Fix non-excluded bool literal in optional_enum_case_name when used inside a tuple.
  tristan-burnside-anz

0.63.0: High-Speed Extraction

Breaking

• The redundant_self_in_closure rule has been renamed to redundant_self (with
  redundant_self_in_closure as a deprecated alias) to reflect its now broader scope,
  while it still maintains the previous behavior of only checking closures by default.
  To enable checking for all redundant self usages, set the new only_in_closures
  option to false.
  SimplyDanny

Enhancements

• Extend redundant_self_in_closure rule to detect all redundant uses of self,
  not just in closures. Initializers (which commonly prefer an explicit self prefix)
  can be ignored by setting keep_in_initializers to true.
  SimplyDanny

• Add a separation configuration option to the vertical_whitespace_between_cases rule
  to allow customizing blank line separation between switch cases. The default value is
  always (require at least one blank line). Setting it to never enforces no blank
  lines between cases.
  SimplyDanny
  #6326

• Rewrite the following rules with SwiftSyntax:

  • vertical_whitespace_between_cases

  SimplyDanny

• Add new opt-in unneeded_throws_rethrows rule that triggers when declarations
  marked throws/rethrows never actually throw or call any throwing code.
  Tony Ngo

• Add new unneeded_escaping rule that detects closure parameters marked with
  @escaping that are never stored or captured escapingly.
  SimplyDanny

• Add multiline_call_arguments opt-in rule to enforce consistent multiline
  formatting for function and method call arguments.
  GandaLF2006

• Improve performance when exclude patterns resolve to a large set of files.

  function declarations, not their implementation.
  SimplyDanny

• Fix false positives in vertical_whitespace_between_cases rule when cases are
  interleaved with compiler directives like #if/#else/#endif.

0.62.2: Generous Drum Volume

Enhancements

• Add new incompatible_concurrency_annotation rule that triggers when a declaration
  isolated to a global actor, @Sendable closure arguments and/or generic sendable
  constraints is not annotated with @preconcurrency in order to maintain compatibility
  with Swift 5.
  mattmassicotte
  SimplyDanny
  #5987

• Add isolation modifier group to modifier_order rule configuration.

• Add test count to JUnit reporter.
  nandhinisubbu
  #6161

• Adopt mimalloc for static Linux binary

Bug Fixes

• Fix false positive with #Preview macro in closure_end_indentation rule.
  gibachan

• Fix correction of sorted_imports rule when comments (with a distance) are present before
  the first import.
  SimplyDanny
  #6317

0.62.1: Generous Drum Volume

Bug Fixes

• Remove trailing comma making the code base again compilable with at least Swift 6.0.
  SimplyDanny

0.62.0: Generous Drum Volume

Breaking

• The structure of SwiftLintBinary.artifactbundle.zip is now simpler. Internal paths no
  longer contain version numbers, especially. So in an Xcode Run Script build phase,
  you can refer to the swiftlint binary like this:

  SWIFT_PACKAGE_DIR="${BUILD_DIR%Build/*}SourcePackages/artifacts"
  SWIFTLINT_CMD="$SWIFT_PACKAGE_DIR/swiftlintplugins/SwiftLintBinary/SwiftLintBinary.artifactbundle/macos/swiftlint"

  All other consumers of the artifact bundle do not need to change anything. Swift Package
  Manager resolves the new paths automatically.
  SimplyDanny

• SwiftLint now requires a Swift 6 or higher compiler to build. The
  Swift Package Manager plugins continue
  to work with all versions down to Swift 5.9.
  SimplyDanny

• sorted_imports rule's behavior changed in that it now treats imports directly adjacent
  to each other as a group that is sorted together. Imports separated by at least one
  non-import statement or empty line(s) are treated as separate groups. Comments are
  considered part of the import group they are attached to and do not break it.
  SimplyDanny

Enhancements

• Rewrite the following rules with SwiftSyntax:

  • modifier_order
  • sorted_imports

  SimplyDanny

• Add new prefer_asset_symbols rule that suggests using asset symbols over
  string-based image initialization to avoid typos and enable compile-time
  checking. This rule detects UIImage(named:) and SwiftUI.Image(_:) calls
  with string literals and suggests using asset symbols instead.
  danglingP0inter
  #5939

• Exclude integer generic parameters from generic_type_name rule.
  Include integer generic parameters in the identifier_name rule for validation.
  nandhinisubbu
  #6213

Bug Fixes

• Ignore function, initializer and subscript declarations alike when the
  ignores_function_declarations option is enabled in the line_length rule.
  SimplyDanny
  #6241

• Individual custom_rules can now be specified in the only_rule configuration
  setting and the --only-rule command line option without having to specify
  custom_rules as well. Additionally, violations of custom rules are now reported
  in a deterministic order, sorted by the rule's identifier.
  Martin Redington
  #6029
  #6058

• Ignore redundant_discardable_let rule violations in nested SwiftUI scopes as well
  when ignore_swiftui_view_bodies is enabled.
  SimplyDanny
  #3855
  #6255

• Exclude function types from async_without_await rule analysis. Higher-order function
  objects can be async without containing an await when assigning to them.
  SimplyDanny
  #6253

• Exclude @concurrent functions from async_without_await rule analysis.
  @concurrent functions requires aysnc in any case.
  nandhinisubbu
  #6283

• swiftlint-static, the experimental fully-static Linux binary, now uses 512 KiB
  as thread stack size matching Darwin’s size to prevent stack exhaustion.
