it's not clear how to override default options

[btm1]

how do I specify "unused":false at a project level from my .brackets.json file?

[MiguelCastillo]

would that be for eslint? then you will need a .eslintrc file with that option in it.

.brackets.json is purely for configuring which linter runs for each language.

[bobrocke]

I'm confused about the format. If I add

{
    "interactive-linter.javascript": ["eslint"]
}

to my brackets.json file, just like that, it fails the linting (ironically).

Does it need to be something like:

"interactive-linter": {
    "interactive-linter.javascript": ["eslint"]
}

[MiguelCastillo]

Your first format is correct

{
    "interactive-linter.javascript": ["eslint"]
}

By failures, do you mean you need to add a .eslintrc to configure eslint, or interactive linter is failing to do its job?

[bobrocke]

I get this error:

[MiguelCastillo]

it looks like you have extra curly brackets surrounding the interactive linter settings. Here is what full .brackets.json looks like.

{
    "fonts.fontSize": "12px",
    "spaceUnits": 2,
    "tabSize": 2,
    "useTabChar": false,
    "interactive-linter.delay": 500,
    "interactive-linter.webworker": true,
    "interactive-linter.coffeescript": [
        "coffeelint"
    ],
    "interactive-linter.javascript": [
        "eslint"
    ],
    "insertHintOnTab": true,
    "brackets-wsSanitizer.enabled": true,
    "brackets-wsSanitizer.newline": true,
    "brackets-wsSanitizer.notification": true
}

[bobrocke]

Oh! I pasted it in from the example thinking it was the addition to brackets.json. Each is a separate object, instead.

[MiguelCastillo]

yup. is that working for ya?

[bobrocke]

I think yes.

[bobrocke]

But on save I'm getting two checks:

[MiguelCastillo]

very odd! It means you either two copies of interactive linter running, or somehow interactive linter was unable to find the indicator from the native linter Brackets comes with.

Do you get any errors in the brackets debugging console.log?

[bobrocke]

This the moment I started to edit the JSON file:

But none on save when the second check popped up.

[bobrocke]

Is there a way to disable "normal" linting and leave only interactive linting?

[MiguelCastillo]

interactive linter disables the native linter... What version of Brackets are you running? What other extensions are you running? It could be possible that you have another extension that is interfering.

[bobrocke]

Does anything there look out of order?

[bobrocke]

It's still weird:

[bobrocke]

If I reload, then the extra linter icon goes away. But if I then switch to another open file, I get both icons again, until I reload.

Does that suggest a root cause?
