How to generate OCLint report to html format file?

Question

I'm trying to use OCLint as primary code analyzer for my objc project. I follow OCLint guide and get a json file with named "compile_commands.json". But I can't generate it to HTML format file? Anybody can help me? Athought tried a dozen ways but it doesn't work. Any help is appreciate. Thank you

Here is my json file's content, a tiny part

  },

And use oclint-json-compilation-database -v oclint_args "-report-type html -o report.html" But nothing happen!

Below is the script I am using to generate html file.

OCLINT_HOME is the path for oclint downloaded folder. I have renamed the folder to oclintrelease.

OCLINT_HOME=/Users/Dheeraj/Downloads/oclintrelease
export PATH=$OCLINT_HOME/bin:$PATH

hash oclint &> /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
echo >&2 "oclint not found, analyzing stopped"
exit 1
fi

cd ${TARGET_TEMP_DIR}

if [ ! -f compile_commands.json ]; then
echo "[*] compile_commands.json not found, possibly clean was performed"
echo "[*] starting xcodebuild to rebuild the project.."
# clean previous output
if [ -f xcodebuild.log ]; then
rm xcodebuild.log
fi

cd ${SRCROOT}

xcodebuild clean

#build xcodebuild.log
xcodebuild | tee ${TARGET_TEMP_DIR}/xcodebuild.log
#xcodebuild <options>| tee ${TARGET_TEMP_DIR}/xcodebuild.log

echo "[*] transforming xcodebuild.log into compile_commands.json..."
cd ${TARGET_TEMP_DIR}
#transform it into compile_commands.json
oclint-xcodebuild

fi

echo "[*] starting analyzing"
cd ${TARGET_TEMP_DIR}

oclint-json-compilation-database -v oclint_args "-report-type html -o $OCLINT_HOME/report.html"

Your report would be generated to the provided path in OCLINT_HOME using the above script.

If you want to generate report in your derived data folder then replace the last line with :

oclint-json-compilation-database -v oclint_args "-report-type html -o report.html"

HTML report would be generated if and only if your build is successful and you can check your generated report path and script report into Log Navigator of Xcode.
