Custom rule - check only once

[salvatoreboemia]

Hi

I'm trying to add custom rules to send to Sonarqube. but first I tried locally with a brew in this way

custom_rules:
   my_custom_rule: 
     included:
     - ".*.swift"
     name: "My Custom Rule"
     regex: "// my_custom_rule:.*"
     message: "This is a custom rule for testing"
     severity: error

After that I ran in the terminal swift lint

swiftlint lint --config myRoot/.swiftlint.yml --reporter json > swiftlint_report.json 

File Swift

// my_custom_rule: Test 1234
import Foundation
import UIKit
// my_custom_rule: Test 12
final class MyClass: NSObject {
    // my_custom_rule: Test 1234
    ......
    // my_custom_rule: Test 1234
    private let .......
    ......
    // my_custom_rule: Test 1234
    var .....
    // my_custom_rule: Test 
  .....

JSON

{
    "character" : 1,
    "file" : "/myFile.swift",
    "line" : 9,
    "reason" : "This is a custom rule for testing",
    "rule_id" : "my_custom_rule",
    "severity" : "Error",
    "type" : "My Custom Rule"
  },

Why only in the line 9? I added a lot of comment, Do you know somethings?

thanks

That's described in the README. First, you may want to add the comment match kind to only match in comments, that is:

match_kinds:
  - comment

This probably already helps in your example.

Yet even more relevant is:

It is important to note that the regular expression pattern is used with the flags s and m enabled, that is . matches newlines and ^/$ match the start and end of lines, respectively. If you do not want to have . match newlines, for example, the regex can be prepended by (?-s).
