disable rules for certain file paths or extensions

I’m using Cypress and Jest with the ESLint plugins for both, and the Jest plugin is complaining about consistent-test-it and expect-expect inside the .spec.js files which are Cypress tests (Mocha syntax).

Being able to specify the file extension to lint would allow these rules to live together in one config.

You can specify plugins, but not extends, in overrides (I think? If not, just specify all the plugins in the root - unless you activate rules, they don’t really do anything)

You should either:

• manually compose the config in a js config file (you can do require('eslint-plugin-jest').configs.recommended and use that however you want)
• use multiple config files (with some root: true in them)
• wait for the resolution of https://github.com/eslint/rfcs/pull/9 or any alternative like it

I don’t think it makes sense for us to figure out how to do our own filtering of rules on top of eslint’s current mechanics for it. So I’ll close, but feel free to continue the discussion. As mentioned above, a PR with instructions on how to do it is welcome if you think whatever solution you come up with should be shared 😃

I am curious about this too, having run into a similar issue in a personal project, but I have not yet explored using ESLint’s overrides option. Have you tried this out yet? I would encourage you to play around with that configuration, and if you are able to find a solution, we could definitely add that helpful information to the README (only enabling eslint-plugin-jest for certain files using a shared config). Please let us know what your findings are! 😄
