In #1182, the previous broken ESLint config merging functionality was replaced by using an internal ESLint
merge
function fromconfig-ops
.Unfortunately in ESLint 6 that function no longer exists in a form that is easy for us to use, so in order to support ESLint 6, I have replaced it with simpler manual merges. These are virtually identical, with one difference -
rules
are now merged by a later rule entry completely replacing the first, rather than updating it.For example, merging these:
'foo': ['error', {'someSetting': false}]
'foo': 'warn'
...used to give:
'foo': ['warn', {'someSetting': false}]
...but now results in:
'foo': 'warn'
I think this difference is a reasonable compromise for not having to rely on ESLint internals and/or implement our own more complex merging. I also believe hitting this will be rare, since:
extends
external fileThis more simplistic merging behaviour is also what's used by Neutrino 8 (#1182 landed for Neutrino 9 only) - and we still have the other bug fixes included in #1182 that were the primary motivation for refactoring in the first place.
