Script integrating OCLint into XCode. Put it in "Run script" build phase.

gistfile1.sh

source ~/.bash_profile
cd ${SRCROOT}
xcodebuild clean
xcodebuild | xcpretty -r json-compilation-database
oclint-json-compilation-database -- -report-type xcode

I tried the following commands:
xcodebuild -target TARGET -configuration Debug -scheme SCHEME | xcpretty --report json-compilation-database --output compile_commands.json
or
xcodebuild -target TARGET -configuration Debug -scheme SCHEME | xcpretty -r json-compilation-database --output compile_commands.json

But I got "Error: compile_commands.json not found at current location." for both in XCode.

cp: build/reports/compilation_db.json: No such file or directory

env: ruby_executable_hooks: No such file or directory

Hi all, I was having trouble getting this script to work as well. @bsameh's solution helped, but I still needed to make some tweaks to the parameters for the xcodebuild command by specifying the scheme and workspace (I'm using Cocoapods). I also had to make sure to use the same parameters for the xcodebuild clean command.

Here's what the final script looks like (substituting <projectName> for the correct value, of course). You may also need to tweak some of the exclude options for the oclint-json-compilation-database command:

source ~/.bash_profile
cd ${SRCROOT}
xcodebuild -scheme <projectName> -workspace <projectName>.xcworkspace clean
xcodebuild -scheme <projectName> -workspace <projectName>.xcworkspace | xcpretty -r json-compilation-database --output compile_commands.json
oclint-json-compilation-database -exclude Pods -exclude build -exclude Internal -exclude ThirdParties -- -report-type xcode

✅ The solution of @tylermilner works for me!

I was recently having some trouble getting this working on a project using Xcode 10 and OCLint 0.13.1. Here's a summary of some of the errors I saw and how I resolved them:

• error: accessing build database "/Users/tyler.milner/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<project_name>/Build/Intermediates.noindex/XCBuildData/build.db": disk I/O error
  • Solved by switching from the New Build System to the Legacy Build System (File --> Workspace Settings in Xcode).
• oclint: error: one compiler command contains multiple jobs:
  • Solved by adding the COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO build flag to my main xcodebuild step.
• oclint: Not enough positional command line arguments specified!
  • Solved by adding unset LLVM_TARGET_TRIPLE_SUFFIX to the top of the script.

I've got a working version of the script that contains the above fixes in my fork. Also including it below (again, you will need to replace <project_name> with appropriate values and likely tweak the -exclude flags):

source ~/.bash_profile

unset LLVM_TARGET_TRIPLE_SUFFIX

xcodebuild -scheme <project_name> -workspace <project_name>.xcworkspace clean
xcodebuild -scheme <project_name> -workspace <project_name>.xcworkspace COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO | xcpretty -r json-compilation-database --output compile_commands.json

maxPriority=15000
oclint-json-compilation-database -exclude Pods -exclude build -- -report-type xcode -max-priority-1=$maxPriority -max-priority-2=$maxPriority -max-priority-3=$maxPriority

worked with Xcode 11.2.1

source ~/.bash_profile

unset LLVM_TARGET_TRIPLE_SUFFIX

xcodebuild clean
xcodebuild COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO | xcpretty -r json-compilation-database --output compile_commands.json
