Hello,

I want to run only a few specific lint check before building and signing my app. If lint found an error everything should fail.

I added an additional lintOptions section to my app/build.gradle but it seems to be ignored

lintOptions {  
check ‘StringFormatCount’, ‘StringFormatInvalid’, ‘StringFormatMatches’  
checkReleaseBuilds true  
xmlReport false  
abortOnError true  
}

If I run ./gradlew app:lintProductionRelease on my local machine everything works as expected, but not on bitrise.  
Is there any way to only run these 3 checks and abort if there are errors?

Thanks a lot

How are running lint on bitrise (using which step)?  
IMHO the easiest way to achieve the same results as locally is to use Gradle Runner step and specify `app:lintProductionRelease` in its `gradle_task` input .

Hi @koral ,

I tried two ways:

1. gradle\_task exactly as i run it on my local machine
2. lint\_task

I want to achive, that

1. only specific lint rules are checked  
and
2. that the build fails if lint detect errors

Thanks a lot

Hi @mgursch!

Unfortunately, the existing Lint step would not allow you for this kind of flexibility. Feel free to fork the step and bend it to your use case! 🙂
