Fail #

❌ readme-starts-with-community-plus-header #

The README of a community plus project should have a community plus header at the start of the README. If you already have a community plus header and this rule is failing, your header may be out of date, and you should update your header with the suggested one below. For more information please visit https://opensource.newrelic.com/oss-category/. Below is a list of files or patterns that failed:

• README.md: The first 5 lines do not contain the pattern(s): Open source Community Plus header (see https://opensource.newrelic.com/oss-category).
  • 🔨 Suggested Fix: prepend [![Community Plus header](https://github.com/newrelic/opensource-website/raw/master/src/images/categories/Community_Plus.png)](https://opensource.newrelic.com/oss-category/#community-plus) to file

❌ readme-contains-link-to-security-policy #

Doesn't contain a link to the security policy for this repository (README.md). New Relic recommends putting a link to the open source security policy for your project (https://github.com/newrelic/<repo-name>/security/policy or ../../security/policy) in the README. For an example of this, please see the "a note about vulnerabilities" section of the Open By Default repository. For more information please visit https://nerdlife.datanerd.us/new-relic/security-guidelines-for-publishing-source-code.

❌ code-of-conduct-should-not-exist-here #

New Relic has moved the CODE_OF_CONDUCT file to a centralized location where it is referenced automatically by every repository in the New Relic organization. Because of this change, any other CODE_OF_CONDUCT file in a repository is now redundant and should be removed. Note that you will need to adjust any links to the local CODE_OF_CONDUCT file in your documentation to point to the central file (README and CONTRIBUTING will probably have links that need updating). For more information please visit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y644Pwi82kasNP5VPVjDV8rsmkBKclQVHFkz8pwRUtE/view. Found files. Below is a list of files or patterns that failed:

• CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
  • 🔨 Suggested Fix: Remove file

⚠️ third-party-notices-file-exists #

A THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md file can be present in your repository to grant attribution to all dependencies being used by this project. This document is necessary if you are using third-party source code in your project, with the exception of code referenced outside the project's compiled/bundled binary (ex. some Java projects require modules to be pre-installed in the classpath, outside the project binary and therefore outside the scope of the THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES). Please review your project's dependencies and create a THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md file if necessary. For JavaScript projects, you can generate this file using the oss-cli. For more information please visit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y644Pwi82kasNP5VPVjDV8rsmkBKclQVHFkz8pwRUtE/view. Did not find a file matching the specified patterns. Below is a list of files or patterns that failed:

• THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES*
• THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES*
• THIRDPARTYNOTICES*

✅ license-file-exists #

Found file (LICENSE). New Relic requires that all open source projects have an associated license contained within the project. This license must be permissive (e.g. non-viral or copyleft), and we recommend Apache 2.0 for most use cases. For more information please visit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vML4aY_czsY0URu2yiP3xLAKYufNrKsc7o4kjuegpDw/edit.

✅ readme-file-exists #

Found file (README.md). New Relic requires a README file in all projects. This README should give a general overview of the project, and should point to additional resources (security, contributing, etc.) where developers and users can learn further. For more information please visit https://github.com/newrelic/open-by-default.

✅ readme-contains-discuss-topic #

Contains a link to the appropriate discuss.newrelic.com topic (README.md). New Relic recommends directly linking the your appropriate discuss.newrelic.com topic in the README, allowing developer an alternate method of getting support.
