Running Codeclimate locally

I try to install Codeclimate via docker by reading the Codeclimate readme docs.

In order to test Codeclimate locally. I made a new folder and put hello.php and .codeclimate.yml.

The following is my hello.php

<?php 

echo("Hello");

The following is my .codeclimate.yml

version: "2"
checks:
  argument-count:
    enabled: true
  complex-logic:
    enabled: true
  file-lines:
    enabled: true
  method-complexity:
    enabled: true
  method-count:
    enabled: true
  method-lines:
    enabled: true
  nested-control-flow:
    enabled: true
  return-statements:
    enabled: true
  similar-code:
    enabled: true
  identical-code:
    enabled: true

And I run the codecliate like the following via my terminal

docker run \
  --interactive --tty --rm \
  --env CODECLIMATE_CODE="$PWD" \
  --volume "$PWD":/code \
  --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  --volume /tmp/cc:/tmp/cc \
  codeclimate/codeclimate analyze

It shows like Starting analysis and after waiting for a long time. I got a timeout error.

Is something wrong with my configuration?

Solution

The command you are running is pulling docker images named codeclimate/codeclimate-structure and codeclimate/codeclimate-duplication, if you go here you'll notice they weighs ~2gb compressed, so taking a long time for the command to run is understandable.
You can expdite the command by pulling the image in advance by running docker pull codeclimate/codeclimate-structure & docker pull codeclimate/codeclimate-duplication.

I found out this is the case by adding the debug env var to the docker run command (-e CODECLIMATE_DEBUG=1), this can often come in handy when CLI tools behave abnormally.

Another thing code climate support and can help you in situations like this is setting higher timeout thresholds - -e CONTAINER_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=1800.

All of this info is present in the readme you've linked to in your question. Hope this solves your problem.
