unknown-rule-in-directive

A directive names only rules that exist and can be switched off.

What it does#

A directive naming a rule that does not exist - a typo - switches nothing off, and the finding it was meant to hide stays with no hint why. The same goes for a rule that cannot be switched off, such as an always-on one. This check warns unless the configuration names it: "off" quiets it, "on" makes it fail the run.

Turning it on#

Add this to your .gurkencheckrc:

{
  "unknown-rule-in-directive": "on"
}

Settings#

This rule has no settings. Switch it on with "unknown-rule-in-directive": "on".
