[Codenarc-developer] created a codenarc create-rule target

[Hamlet D'A. <ham...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I just submitted a patch, and I think it will be really useful.

I want creating rules to be easier and not have to copy and paste
boilerplate. My intent is to be able to create a new rule live on
stage at some upcoming conferences.

The patch is attached to:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126575&aid=3005873&group_id=250145

On Unix/Mac, you can run the following from the project:

  ./codenarc create-rule

You will enter a rule name and be prompted to select a category.

Then the base rule, rule test, ruleset xml, and properties will all be
created/updated for you. All you have to do is override a method in
your AstTransfromation and update the unit test.

Windows users can run
  groovy codenarc create-rule

Let me know how it works.
