Airbnb legacy rules are not applying

I’m using Atom 1.12.6. I have successfully installed all necessary modules. My .eslintrc looks like…

{
  "extends": "airbnb-base/legacy",
  "parser": "babel-eslint",
  "env": {
    "jasmine": true,
    "mocha": true
  }
}

When atom lints the following code…

var hello = this;

if (hello !== '') {
  // ...stuff...
}

function user(options) {
  this.name = options.name;
}

user({ name: 'jason' });

The code passes with flying colors. If I run the following code varr name = "asdf"; then the linter will alert to me an error. That makes me thing that ESLint is working. What’s stranger is that if I change .eslintrc to

{
  "extends": "airbnb-base",
  "parser": "babel-eslint",
  "env": {
    "jasmine": true,
    "mocha": true
  }
}

Airbnb non-legacy errors will appear. Am I missing something here? Shouldn’t I expect an error to appear when running the legacy code? For example, Airbnb legacy states that their should never be saved references of this.

Got it. We can close this. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the clarification.

That’s part of the styleguide, but it’s not something that’s linted against. Not all of the style guide is, or even can be, linted against programmatically.
