📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds exclusions for unsupported or third-party shell files in the checkbashisms workflow. It documents prek glob behavior and rewrites multiple exclusion patterns to recursive and brace forms. It updates exclusions for several hooks, comments out the CircleCI validation repository block, updates commented spelling-tool exclusions, and bumps the ruff-pre-commit revision.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Install dependencies - [`pre-commit`](https://pre-commit.com/#install) - [`circleci-cli`](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/local-cli/#installation) ## 2. Create config file _.pre-commit-config.yaml_ with content: - For CircleCI config validation : ```bash $ cat .pre-commit-config.yaml - repo: https://github.com/zahorniak/pre-commit-circleci.git rev: v1.3.0 # Ensure this is the latest tag, comparing to the Releases tab hooks: - id: circleci_validate ``` - For CircleCI config processing test : ```bash $ cat .pre-commit-config.yaml - repo: https://github.com/zahorniak/pre-commit-circleci.git rev: v1.3.0 # Ensure this is the latest tag, comparing to the Releases tab hooks: - id: circleci_process ``` If you wish to pass additional args to circleci_validate or circleci_process, you can specify them in the config. See `circleci config validate --help` or `circleci config process --help` for accepted args. You must use the form `--arg=value`, not `--arg value`. For example, to set an org-slug: ```bash $ cat .pre-commit-config.yaml - repo: https://github.com/zahorniak/pre-commit-circleci.git rev: v1.3.0 # Ensure this is the latest tag, comparing to the Releases tab hooks: - id: circleci_validate args: - --org-slug=my/organization ``` Or specify a custom config file: ```bash $ cat .pre-commit-config.yaml - repo: https://github.com/zahorniak/pre-commit-circleci.git rev: v1.3.0 hooks: - id: circleci_validate args: - .circleci/continue_config.yml ``` The CircleCI process hook allow passing multiple configuration files. For example : ```bash $ cat .pre-commit-config.yaml - repo: https://github.com/zahorniak/pre-commit-circleci.git rev: v1.3.0 hooks: - id: circleci_process args: - &`#39`;--pipeline-parameters={"foo": "bar"}&`#39`; - .circleci/config-1.yml - .circleci/config-2.yml ``` ## Dynamic Configuration (Continuation Orb) For projects using CircleCI&`#39`;s dynamic configuration with the continuation orb and a modular `src/` directory structure, use the `circleci_pack_validate` hook: ```bash $ cat .pre-commit-config.yaml - repo: https://github.com/zahorniak/pre-commit-circleci.git rev: v1.3.0 hooks: - id: circleci_pack_validate args: - --setup-config=.circleci/config.yml - --src-dir=.circleci/src ``` This hook will: 1. Validate the setup config (e.g., `.circleci/config.yml`) 2. Pack the modular config from `src/` directory 3. Validate the packed continuation config ### Pack only (without validation) If you only need to pack the configuration: ```bash $ cat .pre-commit-config.yaml - repo: https://github.com/zahorniak/pre-commit-circleci.git rev: v1.3.0 hooks: - id: circleci_pack args: - --src-dir=.circleci/src - --output=.circleci/main…[truncated] <title>JulienWeintraub/pre-commit-circleci-process</title> https://github.com/JulienWeintraub/pre-commit-circleci-process # JulienWeintraub/pre-commit-circleci-process pre-commit git hooks to validate CircleCI configuration - Stars: 0 - Forks: 0 - Watchers: 0 - Open issues: 0 - License: MIT License - Default branch: master - Created: 2025-04-28T08:27:16Z - Fork: yes ## Languages - Python ## Top Contributors - zahorniak (12 contributions) - nimakalantar (2 contributions) - semantic-release-bot (2 contributions) - Ferenc- (1 contributions) - Stringy (1 contributions) - YaraslauZhylko (1 contributions) --- ## README # Overview GitHub release (latest by date) GitHub Release Date - Published_At issues - pre-commit-circleci GitHub pull requests # Usage ## 1.

I’ve built a simple orb to test things out and verify our workflow and I have one sticking point, a `.circleci/config.yml` will not validate using `circleci config validate` when a private orb is referenced. I’ve committed the config.yml and it runs perfectly fine in CircleCI. When I run the validate, I receive the following error: ```auto ➜ test git:(orbify) ✗ circleci config validate Error: Cannot find xxx/orbtest@0.0.1 in the orb registry. Check that the namespace, orb name and version are correct. Cannot find xxx/orbtest@0.0.1 in the orb registry. Check that the namespace, orb name and version are correct. ➜ test git:(orbify) ✗ circleci orb list xxx --private Orbs found: 1. Showing only private orbs. xxx/orbtest (0.0.1) ➜ test git:(orbify) ✗ circleci version 0.1.15973+ce8624c (homebrew) ``` As you can see, the orb is available (sorry for the masked namespace and name). Are there plans to add this functionality into the CLI anytime soon? Having to do a commit and check the CircleCI project is a bit cumbersome and wastes a fair amount of time. yannCI September 30, 2021, 10:36pm 2 Hi `@mwhitney-rbi`, and welcome to the CircleCI Discuss community! This is indeed a limitation when using private orbs. In this case, you can validate your configuration with: ```auto config validate --org-slug <your-org-slug> <path/to/config.yml> ``` Let me know if this helps. mwhitney-rbi October 1, 2021, 12:35pm 3 `@yannCI` thanks! I knew I was missing something from the documentation. However, even using the org slug, I’m not able to validate and get a permission denied even though I can list the orbs fine. ```auto ➜ test git:(orbify) ✗ circleci orb list xxx --private Orbs found: 1. Showing only private orbs. xxx/orbtest (0.0.1) ➜ test git:(orbify) ✗ circleci config validate --org-slug xxx .circleci/config.yml Error: Unable to validate config: Permission denied ``` jjtischer October 21, 2021, 10:07pm 4 same problem, private orb just throws “Error: Unable to validate config: Permission denied” davesykeselateral November 30, 2021, 5:02pm 5 `@yannCI` same for us. Trying to solve an issue where the web portal shows no workflows, and the local validate complains about our private orbs. MiyamotoAkira December 29, 2021, 5:12pm 6 Is issue this still unresolved? tweeks-reify January 14, 2022, 2:27pm 7 I was able to get this to work by specifying the `--org-slug` as `github/org` wyardley January 14, 2022, 4:59pm 8 I had seen the notes about it not working at all, so this is a big improvement (being able to specify `--org-slug`)!. For me, this works great, and I’m now able to validate configs with private orbs. That said, wonder if there’s any plan to add any further improvements, like letting you set an organization to search for private orgs by default? for publishing, I see this config in `cli.yml`: ```auto orb_publishing: default_namespace: "" default_vcs_provider: "" default_owner: "" ``` I tested, and populating these values (or setting `org_slug` there) did not seem to work, but it would be nice if the CLI config could either infer the slug from those fields in `orb_publishing`, or have a parallel field for validation. jcook-gresham February 16, 2022, 1:05pm 9 If you’re receiving: ```auto Error: Unable to validate config: Permission denied” ``` Then you need to provide your token for using CircleCI with the `--token` flag. amy.bertken April 28, 2022, 9:27pm 10 This is still not working for me. Upgraded to cli version 0.1.17183 and even with the org slug option and the --token flag, commands are still failing. Without org slug, receive message “Cannot find org_name/orb_name in the orb registry.” …[truncated]

Restore the CircleCI validation hook.

The hook is the only step that runs circleci config validate. The workflow installs the CircleCI CLI, but it does not invoke validation after the hook is disabled. This configuration has no private or namespaced orbs, so it does not require an organization argument.

-# # But, as of 2026-08-31, it requires an --org=... argument, so disable it.
