How to fix just one rule using eslint

Question

I want to use eslint command flag --fix to just fix one rule. And I tried the command: eslint --fix --config ./.eslintrcsomerules.js .. But it does not work. How to achieve the object?

My .eslintrcsomerules.js file is below:

module.exports = {   'rules': {     'indent': [2, 2],   } }; 

Answer 1

To fix the issues caused by just one rule, you need to combine --fix --rule with --no-eslintrc. Otherwise your rule will just be merged with your existing configuration and all fixable issues will be corrected. E.g.

$ eslint --no-eslintrc --fix --rule 'indent: [2, 2]' 

Depending on your setup you'll need to re-add mandatory settings from your ESLint configuration to the command line for the lint run to succeed. In my case I had to use

$ eslint --no-eslintrc --parser babel-eslint --fix --rule 'indent: [2, 2]' 

Answer 2

You can pass a --rule flag with the rule you want to fix. For example:

eslint --fix --rule 'quotes: [2, double]' . 

Check out the official documentation for more information.
