How to install a specific version of swiftlint?

Question

I am trying to fix this error:

Error: swiftlint does not have a version "0.11.1" in the Cellar.

by running this:

brew install swiftlint-0.11.1

however this doesn't work, then I tried "brew search swiftlint", but nothing showed up.

Can anyone point to me the correct way to install swiftlint with a specific version?

Answer 1

Go to /usr/local/Cellar/swiftlint you will see all installed switflint version.
Copy swiftlint version folder from other Mac then paste into /usr/local/Cellar/swiftlint

You could check all versions in your Mac by brew info swiftlint

Switch to version you need by brew switch swiftlint x.xx.x

I uploaded some version ==> here

Update: Now you could use pods for this.

My project is using swift2.2 with SwiftLint 0.12.0 installed via brew.

And I decided to change to Pod. There are many changes and errors in each versions. My project is too big, and it's take time to fix all the error and warning (it may effect to current features also...).

Finally I choose pod 'SwiftLint', '0.16.0' and. disable_rules then I don't need to fix any warning nor error.

Just go to Swiftlint release page and select the appropriate version.

Download it and extract it.

You should be able to see an executable and a licence txt file.

Now go to /usr/local/Cellar/swiftlint and create a folder with the version (for ex. 0.35.0).

Create a bin folder inside it and paste the swiftlint executable that you have downloaded.

Brew now shows the custom version that you have downloaded . You can check by typing brew info swiftlint in cmd you can switch by brew switch swiftlint version_number
