Description

ShellCheck provides possible solutions for reported issues in the Did you mean section, e.g.:

In /github/workspace/src/partition/test-repart.sh line 250:
JSON_OUTPUT=$("$repart" --definitions="$D/definitions-overrides" --dry-run=yes --empty=create --size=100M --json=pretty $D/test-drop-in-image)
                                                                                                                        ^-- SC2086 (info): Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.

Did you mean: 
JSON_OUTPUT=$("$repart" --definitions="$D/definitions-overrides" --dry-run=yes --empty=create --size=100M --json=pretty "$D"/test-drop-in-image)

which the currently shown alerts don't include:

Describe the solution you'd like

Having the suggested solution as part of the alert would be great, maybe even in some diff-aware form, so the difference is clearly visible.

We are aware of this issue. @lzaoral is already working on solution in:

• Support ShellCheck SARIF rule metadata csutils/csdiff#68

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[lzaoral]

csutils/csdiff#68 is a different issue. csdiff relies on ShellCheck's GCC output formatter which, unfortunately, does not include suggested fixes. [1]

I'm currently working on getting sarif-fmt package to Fedora. It could improve the current situation once available.

Example of output of sarif-fmt for ShellCheck:

$ shellcheck --format=json shell.sh | shellcheck-sarif | sarif-fmt
note: Use $(...) notation instead of legacy backticks `...`.

Note: to make it work, we have to start using ShellCheck JSON format instead of GCC since GCC format is missing important information about fixes and defect position
