Lintpref

The lintpref linter is a simple linter for libpref files to check for duplicate entries between modules/libpref/init/all.js and modules/libpref/init/StaticPrefList.yaml. If a duplicate is found, lintpref will raise an error and emit the all.js line where you can find the duplicate entry.

Running Locally

The linter can be run using mach:

$ mach lint --linter lintpref

Fixing Lintpref Errors

In most cases, duplicate entries should be avoided and the duplicate removed from all.js. If for any reason a pref should exist in both files, the pref should be added to IGNORE_PREFS in tools/lint/libpref/__init__.py.
