Buf#

Rules for linting and detecting breaking changes in .proto files with Buf.

Note that these rules behave differently from the other rules in this repo, since these produce no output and are instead used as tests.

Only Linux and Darwin (MacOS) is currently supported by Buf.

Rules#

Rule

Description

buf_proto_breaking_test

buf_proto_lint_test

buf_proto_breaking_test#

Warning

This rule is experimental. It may not work correctly or may change in future releases!

Checks .proto files for breaking changes
