I love linters and all. They’re great for maintaining good practice. But sometimes they’re a little too aggressive, and when the rules are being imported from elsewhere, I am not sure how to temporarily disable them.

This is especially frustrating when the linter decides it will break your shit instantly, so I found it easier to just call a method and remove it when the functionality is built.

Right now there’s at least 4 “this.stopBitchingAbout([all, the, things])” in my code.

    Wait, the linter you're using sucks if it can't detect an unused assignment. You should've ditched that piece of shit in the first place.

    I never used this tester but i think it bables about 'babylon' as a var not the function? Or am i mistaken

    Isn't it saying that your variable is useless since you assign a raw value (empty string), thus meaning your parameter is not used ?

    Well, it's used as a temporary variable anyway

    @Strannch it's generally marked as "unused" if you literally don't do anything else that storing it in a temporary variable :)

    Why have variables you don't use? The check is good because it will notify you if you think you used the variable somewhere but erroneously used some other variable.

    Well, you could disable them per line or block if you want to.

    // eslint-disable-next-line

    /* eslint-disable */
    /* eslint-enable */

    You could also say what rule you want disabled so it picks other broken rules.

    // eslint-disable-next-line no-unused-variablr

    no@Strannch no, the error came before the function. I add the empty string to literally shut it up as I don’t want it logging a bunch of huge objects to console. The assignment is initially to the passed in variable because it makes the linter see that the variable was “used”.

    @7Raiden Well the thing is, I was building out the functionality for it, and had defined it, but I like to code incrementally, which doesn’t work when the linter won’t compile until you have a complete functional program. Kind of hard to check functionality and structure when the linter won’t let any of it work until it deems it finished.

    @electrineer They will be used once the app is finished. It’s frustrating checking that everything is working incrementally when it crashes every time the linter sees I’ve added something new.
