Settings are ignored using CLIEngine

[vanwagonet]

I'm having trouble using the CLIEngine to create a cli tool for validating internationalization (via format-message).

I was able to create a plugin that works great when using the actual eslint cli, but cannot seem to getting settings to get through to the rules using CLIEngine. I have tried putting settings on both the root options object, as well as inside a baseConfig object, and either way context.settings is always an empty object inside my rules. I have not tried using configFile (which likely works), because the settings are dynamic, and I'd rather avoid writing a temp file just to pass settings.

Is there a way to pass the desired settings for use in cli.executeOnText?

Here is roughly the code I am using:

var cli = new CLIEngine({
  plugins: [ 'format-message' ],
  rules: {
    'format-message/literal-locale': 1,
    'format-message/literal-pattern': 1,
    'format-message/no-identical-translation': 1,
    'format-message/no-invalid-pattern': 2,
    'format-message/no-invalid-translation': 2,
    'format-message/no-missing-params': [ 2, { 'allowNonLiteral': true } ],
    'format-message/no-missing-translation': 1,
    'format-message/translation-match-params': 2
  },
  settings: {
    'format-message': {
      translations: { en: { foo: 'bar' } }
    }
  }
})
cli.executeOnText(...)
...

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

This is on eslint 1.9.0.

Have you tried this:

var cli = new CLIEngine({
    baseConfig: {
        plugins: [ 'format-message' ],
        rules: {
            'format-message/literal-locale': 1,
            'format-message/literal-pattern': 1,
            'format-message/no-identical-translation': 1,
            'format-message/no-invalid-pattern': 2,
            'format-message/no-invalid-translation': 2,
            'format-message/no-missing-params': [ 2, { 'allowNonLiteral': true } ],
            'format-message/no-missing-translation': 1,
            'format-message/translation-match-params': 2
        },
        settings: {
            'format-message': {
                translations: { en: { foo: 'bar' } }
            }
        }
    }
});

\o/ That gets settings through! I could have sworn I tried that, but perhaps I had a typo in there 😕.

Thanks!

Now to figure out why I'm not seeing the lint errors I expect...

Also got bitten by this issue - it's not really intuitive, maybe a console.warn would be helpful 😐
