gdlint feature: option for Gitlab code quality output format

[OskarUnn]

I would like to add a feature to generate Gitlab code quality reports with gdlint.

Example usage in .gitlab-ci.yml

...
gdlint:
  image: python:3.12-alpine
  script:
    - pip3 install "gdtoolkit==4.*"
    - gdlint --format gitlab .
  artifacts:
    reports:
      codequality: gl-code-quality-report.json
...

Is this feature suitable for this project?

Perhaps in the future I could add more things related to Gitlab (.gitlab-ci.yml example, gdradon output to code quality report...)

How does adding such a feature to generate gitlab reports work?

[OskarUnn]

It would work by saving the found problems to a json file in this format:

[
  {
    "description": "'unused' is assigned a value but never used.",
    "check_name": "no-unused-vars",
    "fingerprint": "7815696ecbf1c96e6894b779456d330e",
    "severity": "minor",
    "location": {
      "path": "lib/index.js",
      "lines": {
        "begin": 42
      }
    }
  }
]

The problems will show up in Gitlab merge requests like this:
