ESLint v8.x reached end-of-life on 2024-10-05 and is no longer maintained. Upgrade or consider long-term support options

ESLint v8.51.0 released

We just pushed ESLint v8.51.0, which is a minor release upgrade of ESLint. This release adds some new features and fixes several bugs found in the previous release.

Highlights

New CLI option --no-warn-ignored

This release includes a new CLI option --no-warn-ignored that, when on, suppresses warnings about ignored files that were explicitly passed in the file list. The new option is available only in the flat config mode.

This option is particularly useful when ESLint is run with --max-warnings 0 from tools that pass a list of individual files, such as lint-staged, as it prevents exit code 1 when an ignored file is passed.

{
    "lint-staged": {
        "*.js": "eslint --max-warnings 0 --no-warn-ignored"
    }
}

API

As part of this change, FlatESLint constructor has a new option warnIgnored: boolean, default true.

The warnIgnored option of FlatESLint#lintText() is still available, but it now defaults to the value of the constructor option. Effectively, its default value is changed from false to true. In order to retain previous behavior, pass warnIgnored: false to FlatESLint#lintText():

const eslint = new FlatESLint();

await eslint.lintFiles(patterns);
await eslint.lintText(code, { filePath, warnIgnored: false });
