.csslintrc not used

[tomsotte]

EDIT 2: Seems like .csslintrc changed format from JSON to "flags", see brendanmckeown's comment

EDIT: I've seen in the issues here that's it's not implemented.

I've placed in the root of my project a file named ".csslintrc" and tried some rules but none of those worked.
I've tried to restart the plugin and even Atom but nothing worked, the rules I've set are ignored.

I believe the format is in JSON.
Example of what a tried:

{
	"adjoining-classes": true,
	"box-model": false,
	"box-sizing": false,
	"bulletproof-font-face": false,
	"compatible-vendor-prefixes": false,
	"display-property-grouping": false,
	"duplicate-background-images": false,
	"duplicate-properties": false,
	"empty-rules": false,
	"fallback-colors": false,
	"floats": false,
	"font-faces": false,
	"font-sizes": false,
	"gradients": false,
	"ids": false,
	"import": false,
	"important": false,
	"known-properties": false,
	"non-link-hover": false,
	"outline-none": false,
	"overqualified-elements": true,
	"qualified-headings": false,
	"regex-selectors": false,
	"shorthand": false,
	"star-property-hack": false,
	"text-indent": false,
	"underscore-property-hack": false,
	"vendor-prefix": false,
	"unique-headings": false,
	"universal-selector": false,
	"unqualified-attributes": false,
	"zero-units": false
}

Actually, it should be working, #140 is about overriding the automatic detection and telling it explicitly where the config is located.

[tomsotte]

Interesting.
What could I try to make it work?
I really don't like stylelint for the fact that it has way to much configuration options.

More info:
.csslintrc saved in UTF-8 with CRLF;

Does csslint foo.js work when ran from the project root?

[tomsotte]

I'm sorry for the late response. Here's what i get

$ csslint style.clean.css
adjoining-classes is not a valid option. Exiting...

The .csslintrc is the above.
I've just checked and it is an existing rule apparently: https://github.com/CSSLint/csslint/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=adjoining-classes&type=Code

[Arcanemagus]

That output means that it is using the .csslintrc, however your .csslintrc has an invalid option that csslint doesn't understand.

[brendanmckeown]

I am also getting the error "adjoining-classes is not a valid option. Exiting..." when trying to run csslint on any file.

@Arcanemagus - adjoining-classes is definitely one of the valid rules shown in the output of csslint --list-rules.

[brendanmckeown]

The issue is that the supported format of the .csslintrc has changed from JSON to:

--errors=adjoining-classes
--warnings=import,text-indent
--ignore=box-model

[Arcanemagus]

@brendanmckeown As far as I know CSSLint has only ever supported that format, that's what has been documented at least.

[brandly]

@Arcanemagus that link you provided has an example .csslintrc that is JSON...

[Arcanemagus]

@brandly Then go tell csslint they have terrible documentation? 😛

At this stage csslint is completely dead as far as I can see, it has had virtually no work done on it lately and has had multiple year+ breaks in what little has been done.

I highly recommend anyone still using it for some reason to look into moving to stylelint.
