Allow "reportUnusedDisableDirectives" option to "error"

The version of ESLint you are using.

6.8.0

The problem you want to solve.

I’d like to prevent (i.e., error on) unused directives via my configuration (rather than the CLI).

Your take on the correct solution to problem.

I can error on unused directives via --report-unused-disable-directives. However, for errors to be shown in the IDE, it would be easier to allow the reportUnusedDisableDirectives configuration option to be set to error. Currently, it can only be set to true, which translates to warn.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to implement this change?

Yes.

Unfortunately, it looks like there wasn’t enough interest from the team or community to implement this change. While we wish we’d be able to accommodate everyone’s requests, we do need to prioritize. We’ve found that issues failing to reach accepted status after 21 days tend to never be accepted, and as such, we close those issues. This doesn’t mean the idea isn’t interesting or useful, just that it’s not something the team can commit to.

Thanks for contributing to ESLint and we appreciate your understanding.

Hi @obweger. Just as a note, if you haven’t configured any rules to warn, you could use --max-warnings 0 to ensure that ESLint terminates with a failure status code if unused disable directive warnings are generated in your lint run.
