As in summary. This is catching people out for l10n files, and it should really be a standard for all our other code files, too.

The severity field is not set for this bug.

Sir, i am working on it, i just have one question am i required to only make linter fail for missing empty lines at the end of files or after failing it should also fix the error ?

Thank You,
Kartik Gautam

Good question.
First, you can do a first change which will detect this.

Then, you could indeed in the future fix it but it doesn't have to in the v1 :)

Sir, I have made the changes, Should i add you as reviewer? Also i am a little unsure about the error messages, please take a look at them too.

Sorry, i think i have done something wrong while submitting for review, i don’t know why it submitted my earlier contribution too. and here it commented "Depends on D97943". Can you please suggest me, what should i do ?

I removed the dependency for you (before seeing your message).

This patch and bug 1680556 are backward: the linter should fail if a file doesn't have an empty line at the end, not the other way around.

So does it mean that it should only give error if file does not have empty lines at end ? be it any number of of empty lines ?
Right now it checks for if file have any extra empty line at end of file.

Kartik, please continue to work on it. It is great :)
