After Rainbow and Unicorn now there is the Cerberus!

Cerberus is a rule validation framework, which is designed to validate Sitecore Helix principles for the Sitecore Items.

Currently the support is available only for unicorn.

Features:

• Item Readers

  • Template Reader
  • Rendering Reader
  • ....

• Analyzers

  • Template Analyzer
  • Rendering Analyzer
  • ....

• Rules

  • Template Inheritance
  • Template Duplicate Field
  • Rendering Name Convention
  • Rendering DataSource
  • ....

• Logger

  • Console Logger

  • Html Logger

Here is some demo after modifying habitat:

And for html logger:

To use the Cerberus you need to set the relative path(relative to cerberus.config) of your project inside the cerberus.config:

• on <dataSourceLocationProvider dataSourceLocation="$(configPath)..\..\..\..\..\Habitat\src">
• on <sourceDataStore physicalRootPath="$(configPath)..\..\..\..\..\Habitat\src\$(layer)\$(module)\Serialization">

after that you should specify the report output folder:

• <logger name="HtmlLogger" type="Cerberus.Core.Logging.HtmlLogger, Cerberus.Core" singleInstance="true" outputPath="$(configPath)..\..\..\..\..\Reports\" />

then you can call it like:

Cerberus.exe -c "[path to cerberus.config]]\Cerberus.config"

This project is really young and will go trough changes. Currently the release version is 1.0-alpha.

So feel free to develop new rules,analyzer or even readers but keep in mind, the changes coming (they always do!).
