eslint-plugin-disable

library2.0.3jsnpmunverified

ESLint plugin to disable other ESLint plugins for specific files using file path patterns or inline comments. Current stable version is 2.0.3, release cadence low (last release 2020). Key differentiator: selectively disables entire plugins per file, reducing noise in mixed-codebases (e.g., tests vs. source) without disabling rules individually. v2.0.0 broke compatibility with pre-ESLint 6 configs and introduced a required processor declaration. Alternative to manually managing overrides for every rule.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

disable

✓ import 'eslint-plugin-disable' // or in .eslintrc: plugins: ['disable']

✗ const disable = require('eslint-plugin-disable') // No default export to assign

Plugin is loaded by name in ESLint config; no import or require needed in source code.

processor

✓ processor: 'disable/disable'

✗ processor: 'disable' // Missing /disable sub-path

Mandatory in ESLint config since v2.0.0 for plugin to function.

settings.disable/plugins

✓ settings: { 'disable/plugins': ['react', 'import'] }

✗ settings: { 'eslint-plugin-disable': { plugins: ['react'] } } // Deprecated structure from v1

Setting name changed in v2; array of plugin names to disable.

inline comment

✓ /* eslint-plugin-disable react, jsx-a11y */

✗ /* eslint-disable-plugin react */ // Wrong prefix

Must be a block comment; whitespace after colon is ignored.

Configure .eslintrc to disable 'react' plugin for test files via override and inline comment. Both methods suppress react rules in those files.

// .eslintrc.json { "plugins": ["react", "disable"], "processor": "disable/disable", "rules": { "react/jsx-uses-vars": "error" }, "overrides": [ { "files": ["tests/**/*.test.js"], "settings": { "disable/plugins": ["react"] } } ] } // src/Component.jsx function Component() { return <div>Hello</div>; } // tests/test.js /* eslint-plugin-disable react */ import { render } from '@testing-library/react'; // React plugin errors are suppressed

Debug

Known issues

breakingv2.0.0 requires processor: 'disable/disable' in ESLint config; without it, plugin does nothing.

fix

Add 'processor': 'disable/disable' to your ESLint config (root or overrides).

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingv2.0.0 removed settings.extensions; extensions must be provided via ESLint CLI --ext.

fix

Use ESLint CLI --ext option (e.g., eslint --ext .js,.ts .).

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingv2.0.0 changed settings name from 'eslint-plugin-disable' to 'disable/plugins'.

fix

Update settings in .eslintrc: use 'disable/plugins' array instead of nested object.

affects: >=2.0.0

deprecatedv1.0.0 removed 'extensions' setting; must use ESLint CLI --ext.

fix

Use ESLint CLI --ext to list file extensions for linting.

affects: <2.0.0 >=1.0.0

gotchaInline comment '/* eslint-plugin-disable */' without plugin names disables ALL registered plugins for that file.

fix

Specify plugins to disable, or use 'eslint-plugin-disable-all-except' with explicit list.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ESLint couldn't find the plugin "eslint-plugin-disable". (ESLint configuration error)

Plugin not installed or missing in plugins array in .eslintrc.

fix

Install: npm install eslint-plugin-disable --save-dev. Then add 'disable' to plugins array.

Configuration for rule "react/jsx-uses-vars" is invalid: Value "error" is the wrong type.

React plugin is disabled via inline comment or override, but rules are still configured globally; ignores file.

fix

Ensure disabled plugins' rules are not applied to those files; plugin suppression occurs after rule loading.

Processors is not defined in the configuration for file tests/test.js

Missing processor: 'disable/disable' in the override or root config.

fix

Add 'processor': 'disable/disable' to the relevant override or root config.
