drupal-check: Perform static analysis to detect bad coding practices.
$ drupal-check --analysis ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "drupal-check --analysis ${path-to-directory}" is used to analyze a Drupal codebase for potential issues and errors. Here's a breakdown of the command components:

  • "drupal-check": This is the name of the command-line tool called "drupal-check" that is used for static code analysis of Drupal projects. It helps identify problems and inconsistencies in Drupal code.

  • "--analysis": This flag specifies that the command should perform a detailed analysis of the codebase, looking for potential issues.

  • "${path-to-directory}": This is the placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the directory containing the Drupal codebase you want to analyze. The tool will scan all the files within this directory and its subdirectories.

To use this command, you need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path to the Drupal codebase that you want to analyze. For example, if your Drupal project is located at "/var/www/html/my-drupal-project", you would use the command:

"drupal-check --analysis /var/www/html/my-drupal-project"

Running this command will initiate a code analysis process on the specified directory, checking for any potential issues in the Drupal code. The tool will provide a report on the findings, highlighting any errors or warnings it discovers.
