Before this change, yamllint would decode files on the ignore-from-file list using open()’s default encoding [1][2]. This can cause decoding to fail in some situations (see the previous commit message for details). This change makes yamllint automatically detect the encoding for files on the ignore-from-file list. It uses the same algorithm that it uses for detecting the encoding of YAML files, so the same limitations apply: files must use UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32 and they must begin with either a byte order mark or an ASCII character.

yamllint
========
A linter for YAML files.
yamllint does not only check for syntax validity, but for weirdnesses like key
repetition and cosmetic problems such as lines length, trailing spaces,
indentation, etc.

Installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Using pip, the Python package manager:
.. code:: bash
pip install --user yamllint
yamllint is also packaged for all major operating systems, see installation
examples (``dnf``, ``apt-get``...) `in the documentation
<https://yamllint.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html>`_.
Usage
^^^^^
.. code:: bash
# Lint one or more files
yamllint my_file.yml my_other_file.yaml ...
.. code:: bash
# Lint all YAML files in a directory
yamllint .
.. code:: bash
# Use a pre-defined lint configuration
yamllint -d relaxed file.yaml
# Use a custom lint configuration
yamllint -c /path/to/myconfig file-to-lint.yaml
.. code:: bash
# Output a parsable format (for syntax checking in editors like Vim, emacs...)
yamllint -f parsable file.yaml

Features
^^^^^^^^
Here is a yamllint configuration file example:
.. code:: yaml
extends: default
rules:
# 80 chars should be enough, but don't fail if a line is longer
line-length:
max: 80
level: warning
# don't bother me with this rule
indentation: disable
Within a YAML file, special comments can be used to disable checks for a single
line:
.. code:: yaml
This line is waaaaaaaaaay too long # yamllint disable-line
or for a whole block:
.. code:: yaml
# yamllint disable rule:colons
- Lorem : ipsum
dolor : sit amet,
consectetur : adipiscing elit
# yamllint enable
Specific files can be ignored (totally or for some rules only) using a
``.gitignore``-style pattern:
.. code:: yaml
# For all rules
ignore: |
*.dont-lint-me.yaml
/bin/
!/bin/*.lint-me-anyway.yaml
rules:
key-duplicates:
ignore: |
generated
*.template.yaml
trailing-spaces:
ignore: |
*.ignore-trailing-spaces.yaml
/ascii-art/*
