# Configuring Clippy
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** The configuration file is unstable and may be deprecated in the future.
|
|
|
|
Some lints can be configured in a TOML file named `clippy.toml` or `.clippy.toml`. It contains a
|
|
basic `variable = value` mapping eg.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
avoid-breaking-exported-api = false
|
|
disallowed-names = ["toto", "tata", "titi"]
|
|
cognitive-complexity-threshold = 30
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [list of configurable lints](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#Configuration),
|
|
the lint descriptions contain the names and meanings of these configuration variables.
|
|
|
|
To deactivate the "for further information visit *lint-link*" message you can define the `CLIPPY_DISABLE_DOCS_LINKS`
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
|
|
### Allowing/denying lints
|
|
|
|
You can add options to your code to `allow`/`warn`/`deny` Clippy lints:
|
|
|
|
* the whole set of `Warn` lints using the `clippy` lint group (`#![deny(clippy::all)]`)
|
|
|
|
* all lints using both the `clippy` and `clippy::pedantic` lint groups (`#![deny(clippy::all)]`,
|
|
`#![deny(clippy::pedantic)]`). Note that `clippy::pedantic` contains some very aggressive lints prone to false
|
|
positives.
|
|
|
|
* only some lints (`#![deny(clippy::single_match, clippy::box_vec)]`, etc.)
|
|
|
|
* `allow`/`warn`/`deny` can be limited to a single function or module using `#[allow(...)]`, etc.
|
|
|
|
Note: `allow` means to suppress the lint for your code. With `warn` the lint will only emit a warning, while with `deny`
|
|
the lint will emit an error, when triggering for your code. An error causes clippy to exit with an error code, so is
|
|
useful in scripts like CI/CD.
|
|
|
|
If you do not want to include your lint levels in your code, you can globally enable/disable lints by passing extra
|
|
flags to Clippy during the run:
|
|
|
|
To allow `lint_name`, run
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
cargo clippy -- -A clippy::lint_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And to warn on `lint_name`, run
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
cargo clippy -- -W clippy::lint_name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This also works with lint groups. For example you can run Clippy with warnings for all lints enabled:
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
cargo clippy -- -W clippy::pedantic
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you care only about a single lint, you can allow all others and then explicitly warn on the lint(s) you are
|
|
interested in:
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
cargo clippy -- -A clippy::all -W clippy::useless_format -W clippy::...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Specifying the minimum supported Rust version
|
|
|
|
Projects that intend to support old versions of Rust can disable lints pertaining to newer features by specifying the
|
|
minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) in the clippy configuration file.
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
msrv = "1.30.0"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The MSRV can also be specified as an attribute, like below.
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
#![feature(custom_inner_attributes)]
|
|
#![clippy::msrv = "1.30.0"]
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also omit the patch version when specifying the MSRV, so `msrv = 1.30`
|
|
is equivalent to `msrv = 1.30.0`.
|
|
|
|
Note: `custom_inner_attributes` is an unstable feature so it has to be enabled explicitly.
|
|
|
|
Lints that recognize this configuration option can be

|
