Workaround (only practical if you have no rules configured as warnings): Use --quiet option to suppress warnings and only print errors.

[abhisekp]

@platinumazure i've rules configured as warning and i need those warnings.

[platinumazure]

I understand- it's a note for others who find this issue 😄

I think it is working as expected, because of the way you are calling eslint. If you use eslint . instead, the warnings should go away.

[abhisekp]

@alberto absolutely. Thanks.
But why should it gimme warning for ignored files/directories?

[alberto]

Because there is a discrepancy between the files you are asking to lint in the command line and your ignored files. I'm actually not sure what should take precedence, but this is something we are discussing in another thread, so I'm closing this one.

@alberto sorry to continue a closed thread, but I don't really follow the similarities in #4828 -

I'd prefer not to have to use the --quiet flag to suppress ALL warnings when I've specifically listed files in my .eslintignore that I want eslint to ignore. Is there a good reason for this behaviour that I'm missing? The docs say it's because eslint is unsure about the files that I want to ignore from linting, but, if I've specified it explicitly in an ignore file I don't see that as an issue. It's like if git warned me about ignoring files in my .gitignore every time I wanted to commit.

[alberto]

Yes, by using eslint **/*.js (without quotes) you are explicitly including all files and asking eslint to lint them. eslint is trying to be helpful telling you that it is not linting some of the files you asked him because they are ignored.

Try using eslint . instead.

[JaKXz]

Thanks! That makes sense.

[jhliberty]

Can we add a rule to not display a warning when an ignored file is linted? It's really frustrating to save an ignored file and see warnings thrown.

[joaoreynolds]

^ I agree. I don't see any value in having this warning to begin with since the point of gitignore is to ignore files that fall within the group of files you're linting.

[jchristin]

@alberto What's the point of an ignore file if it's not to contradict what you express in the config file?

[johnomalley]

Yeah I just complained to JetBrains about this issue... the only workaround to prevent this issue from firing in IDEA/WebStorm is to turn off ESLint integration. Please reconsider this... it's a really dumb idea to 'warn' the user that the system is working as designed.

[brandonsturgeon]

I'd also like to support another consideration for this issue. If I've explicitly ignored a file in .eslintignore, I don't need to hear about it anymore.

[Alexsey]

@johnomalley could you please link your issue in WebStorm issue tracker? So any one how find this thread may +1 it or just track the progress

Looks like they fixed it.

[jitendravyas]

@alberto I'm using grunt plugin https://github.com/sindresorhus/grunt-eslint

Don't know how to use eslint . Can you please help?
