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

      {/* jsx comment */}

What did you expect to happen? I’m trying to ensure that comments with /* allow a space */ when inline or block. However, comments like //do not have a space.

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint. Eslint complains that a space isn’t permitted here. I’ve tried a variety of different marker and exceptions, but I cannot seem to get this working properly. Thanks.

[platinumazure]

@oojacoboo A line comment is // this, a block comment is /* this */ (whether it is used “inline” or not).

[not-an-aardvark]

Oops, you’re right. It seems like the “exceptions” array is accepting a list of strings to exactly match the comment, not regex patterns. So you could put this in your config to prevent that comment from being reported:

"spaced-comment": ["error", "always", { "exceptions": ["TODO: this is a test"] }]

But that seems like a very non-useful option if it requires you to know exactly what your comments will say when configuring the rule.
