goban

goban is a Go(lang) linter that bans usage of user-supplied list of functions.

Usage

goban -cfg goban.cfg ./...

Config

Config is a newline-delimited list of banned symbols. Comments start with pound symbol (#).

Examples:

# bans method `url.Query()` on type *net/url.URL
(*net/url.URL).Query

# bans `context.TODO()`
context.TODO

If symbol has a comment on the same line - then it is printed along with the report.

fmt.Errorf # use pkg/errors instead yields /path/to/file/foo.go:145:15: fmt.Errorf is banned - use pkg/errors instead

TODO

• [ ] Ban variables as well
• [ ] Support wildcards for rules
