Ignoring certain rules

[tobijdc]

Hi,

I just tried using nginx-linter on an existing project and got 6287 errors :smiling_face_with_tear:. After setting indentation and trailing-whitespace to warn i get significantly less, but it is hard to find the errors, if there are so many warning messages.

Is it possible to complete disable a certain rule via config?

Yes, I believe you can do the following:

{
    "severity": {
        "trailing-whitespace": "off"
    }
}

Let me know if that works for you

Sorry for my late answer. It looks like "off" only changes the log level, but messages are still displayed.

With 1000 "style" errors next to 50 other errors (that I would like to fix), it is a little difficult :grimacing:

Apologies, I gave you the wrong configuration advice 😅.

Try this out:

{
    "indentation": false,
    "trailing-whitespace": false
}

Note that this time its not nested under the severity section and its using false instead of "off"

This worked thanks :+1: Feel free to close the issue.
