Linter to check spelling of file name?

[kcfedun-fincad]

Hello,

Does MegaLinter support a linter that checks the spelling of file names?

Not by default, but the wonderful maintainer of CSpell has published a variety of workarounds: streetsidesoftware/cspell#3063. I recommend upvoting the issue and/or chiming in if those don’t meet your needs.

MegaLinter also has great maintainers... We can probably do such thing natively in MegaLinter, maybe by generating a temporary text file with file names and add it to the list of files sent to cspell ^^

It’s certainly doable, but given that Jason doesn’t seem opposed to adding such a feature to CSpell, that feels like a more appropriate home for this functionality?

The issue exists for 4 months, we can probably solve it in 2 hours within MegaLinter, let's allow ML to provide additional value to existing linters 😇

I think the issue has been open because Jason himself has no particular need for this feature, and he raised some good questions about how to implement it correctly. I am not so sure it will be any less work to add a correct implementation to MegaLinter than directly to CSpell though?

More simple for me to do it in ML, where we already have the list of files so have only one case to manage ^^

[Kurt-von-Laven]

I see your point.
