Vscode-eslint: Lint changed lines only

[sebastian-nowak]

Hello,

is there a way to configure this extension to complain only about the lines that were changed? So only those that are reported by git diff, git diff --staged or something similar.

It would be super useful for large projects, where new linter rules are introduced and enforced for new code only. Otherwise everything is displayed in red.

Thanks,
Sebastian

This is currently not possible.

This feature request will not be considered in the next 6-12 months and has been closed to keep the number of issues we have to maintain manageable. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Thanks for your understanding and happy coding!

Note that this ticket is requesting compliance with best practice. Commits (and arguably even branches) should not be changing code unrelated to the commit, and so lines that aren't being changed shouldn't be reported as something to be fixed, by default. Mixing bugfixes, new features, and general code cleanups is a mistake, and VSCode should not encourage that by default.

A separate "code cleanup mode" should be supported, as the non-default, for when people want to do passes over old code and generally clean things up or improve coding standards.

Additionally: tickets should not be closed simply because there are a lot of tickets to manage. Get a better management system, or switch to kanban, or ignore all but your current ticket with GTD, but don't throw out the tickets! ;)

The code base I work in has multiple teams contributing. That being said, there is no existing style guide in place. When formatting a page, code that does not belong to my team is formatted as well. Commits become convoluted as many lines are change when I had only meant to update a few lines.
