Open Stack

Hi Michael,

The problem is that the warnings are so great that is really hard to read.

What if we amended the recently added lintq to do some inline filtering of the doc warnings?  This is just a bandaid of course.

I also am opposed to any major linting changes until Mitaka closes. They cause too many merge conflicts when the fix goes in, making the real bugs harder to get through.

+1 to what Rob said.

I guess I don't see what problems is being solved by turning the rule off, and I also don't see the harm in having more check. It does generate a lot of warnings, but invoking `npm run lint -- --quiet` gets rid of those. Also, from my experience, sphinx-based doc builds are notoriously permissive about bad formatting. Eslint's stricter jsdoc checks would add an additional safety net.

However, if you're working on this with the docs team, then the result should be applicable to the entirety of openstack - meaning that once your work is complete, it may make sense to turn the rule off globally.

If possible, I’d really prefer we left linting work to Newton. It’ll be good to get it to a more usable state again, but we ought to be focusing on thoroughly checking the new Launch Instance for bugs and edge usage cases, as well as the outstanding bugs and blueprints targeted at RC1 (https://launchpad.net/horizon/+milestone/mitaka-rc1). This is a great opportunity to prove that the Angular rewrites are fully capable of providing an improved experience, and we should be capitalising on that.

Hey all,

I started looking into fixing the wall of "npm run lint" warnings today and quickly noticed that about 85% of the "linting" warnings were about jsdoc. We have significant issues around jsdoc anyway and we're supposed to be using Sphinx anyway[1].

Some Horizon folks will know that I've been investigating generating publishable documentation for our Javascript code for some time. Most of the tools either don't work (dgeni) or produce pretty unusable output for a project our size (jsdoc and grunt-ngdocs). I am about to investigate Sphinx in collaboration with the docs team.

Regardless, I believe that the documentation generation should generate errors about that documentation, not the code linter. Once we actually get a documentation generator going. Until then, we don't even know what syntax the documentation should follow.

I've proposed a change which just turns jsdoc "linting" off[2]. At the moment, it is less than useful (the noise drowns out any other, legitimate linting).
