How can I suppress the "No files matching the pattern" message in ESLint?

Question

In my CI setup, I have a test that runs eslint against all JS files. If no JS files exist, it's currently throwing an error. I'd prefer if it'd succeeded when no JS files exist. Is this possible?

$ eslint "./src/assets/scripts/**/*.js"  Oops! Something went wrong! :(  ESLint: 5.7.0. No files matching the pattern "./src/assets/scripts/**/*.js" were found. Please check for typing mistakes in the pattern.  ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1 

Answer 1

What worked for me was changing single quotes to escaped double quotes

So from:

"lint": "eslint '**/*.{ts,tsx}'" 

To:

"lint": "eslint \"**/*.{ts,tsx}\"" 

The reason is because it depends on the console you are using - possibly the operation system (that's why it can work for you while it's not working for others and via versa) Source: https://dev.to/gruckion/comment/b65c

The --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern flag was added in v6.8.0 of ESLint.
