How to control message with position(1:1)

[chinesedfan]

The current check logic requires the message position should be after the mark begin. It is reasonable in most cases.

But if a message belongs to the whole file, like missing license, we can't declare a mark more before than 1:1(line:column).

So first of all, I believe this message should in fact be about license, not the whole tree?

Otherwise: I think it makes sense!

@wooorm You referred to another line(#L20). My example is #L15. :)

@chinesedfan Yeah I know, but I just saw it anyway and wanted to mention it ;)

@wooorm OK, thanks for your finding and I will notify sindresorhus/awesome-lint. Let's back to this issue. Should this package consider messages that belong to the whole file? If yes, how can we control them?

Yep, I think sosee my earlier comment: “I think it makes sense!”

If yes, how can we control them?

It’s been a while since I’ve delved into this code! Maybe we can change

unified-message-control/index.js

Lines 131 to 139 in 4d6f75e

	/* We only ignore messages if they‘re disabled,
	* *not* when they’re not in the document. */
	if (!message.line) {
	message.line = 1
	}
	if (!message.column) {
	message.column = 1
	}

. We’ll have to investigate how this affects the ecosystem tho 🤔
