no-cond-assign giving error on intentional assignment in for loop

[carlbennettnz]

/* eslint no-cond-assign: 2 */
for (var i = 0, item; (item = arr[i]); i++) { }

Even with the no-cond-assign set to the default except-parens rule, this still fails. Intentional?

Output:

  2:1   error  Expected a conditional expression and instead saw an assignment  no-cond-assign

Thanks for the issue! If you're reporting a bug, please be sure to include:

1. The version of ESLint you are using (run eslint -v)
2. What you did (the source code and ESLint configuration)
3. The actual ESLint output complete with numbers
4. What you expected to happen instead

Requesting a new rule? Please see Proposing a New Rule for instructions.

Can you provide version of ESLint you are using and your config file please?

[carlbennettnz]

v1.6.0

No config except for that one inline rule.

Based on the code of the rule, it looks like this is a bug, and rule should allow it. Also error message is pointing to the wrong location (for keyword instead of the test node).

I will try to fix this.
