My favourite bit of advice here is that most problems are not CI problems. In other words, problems to do with running tests or linters or coverage reporters are best dealt with as if they were happening on your local machine. So, how would you deal with this problem on your local machine?
I’d try a few things. Firstly, it mentions that it needs a formatter. You’ve not provided any parameters to the command, so I assume it just uses this configuration file. I don’t see any formatters there either. What does the manual say here?
If you need to investigate this, you can go to a failed build in the CircleCI UI and “rebuild with SSH”, which will give you a real SSH console to log into. Using nano and running your Code Climate command again, you can modify, run and verify until you get the result you need, and then copy the working config back into your version-controlled code. Don’t forget to cancel the job afterwards, as this will eat your build minutes.
