all .eslintrc.json rules are not getting evaluated for typescript project

[ajaysuwalka]

• summary of problem - All .eslintrc.json rules are not getting evaluated, There're different results when I run npm run lint vs ./gradlew spotlessCheck and I want to know what's preventing this. I want to specifically emphasise on the rule @typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises
• gradle version - 8.1.1
• spotless version - 6.14.1
• operating system and version - MacOS 13.3.1 (a) (22E772610a)
• copy-paste your full Spotless configuration block(s), and a link to a public git repo that reproduces the problem if possible - Demo project
• copy-paste the full content of any console errors emitted by gradlew spotless[Apply/Check] --stacktrace - Easily reproducible using the commands mentioned in #1

Thanks for raising the issue @ajaysuwalka. I hope I can clarify some things.

You need to understand that spotless - as of now - is not a linter, but a formatter. So running gradlew spotlessCheck is not the same as running npm run lint. Spotless uses eslint with the --fix parameter to fix eslint issues, that can automatically be fixed by eslint. That being said, it is clear why the @typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises rule is not respected in spotlessCheck: it is not a rule that can be automatically fixed by eslint, so it does not show up in spotlessCheck.

If you're interested in seeing spotless being able to act as a linter, I suggest you follow the corresponding issue #1097
