Consider trimming the plugins entries in .eslintrc

See original GitHub issue

What version of ESLint are you using?

3.2.2

Please show your full configuration:

{
  "plugins": [ "html " ],
  "extends": "airbnb-base"
}

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.

Completely user error: took me about 45 minutes to figure out the appended space in .eslintrc was causing the plugin to not be found.

Can we consider have the plugins list configured to trim the entered values and/or give a warning that it had to be trimmed before trying to resolve them?

p.s. sorry for emitting the extraneous bug report template sections, they didn’t really apply because it’s simply user error on my end and the only relevant code is the .eslintrc file above.

Yes, this one is just for validating the name (which can be done before attempting to load). #6115 has to do with what happens after you try to load and it failed.

I’ll defer to @nzakas on the final answer. But if it were up to me, I would want the check done before even trying to load any plugins, and I would want a new message in eslint/messages to show the exact problem.
