Pattern: Unnecessary rule disable

Issue: -

Description

Unused eslint-disable comments may accumulate over time as code is refactored or bugs are fixed. These unnecessary comments should be removed to prevent overlooking real ESLint warnings in the future.

Examples

Example of incorrect code:

// With rules: eqeqeq: error, no-undef: error
var foo = bar() //eslint-disable-line no-undef,eqeqeq
// The eqeqeq rule isn't violated here

// With no actual violations
doSomething() //eslint-disable-line

Example of correct code:

// With rules: eqeqeq: error, no-undef: error
var foo = bar() //eslint-disable-line no-undef
// Only disabling rules that are actually violated

// Or with no directives when not needed
doSomething()
