Have sass-lint ignore a certain line?

Disabling through comments

Update per December 2016 according to the docs this will now be possible using this syntax:

Disable more than 1 rule for entire file

// sass-lint:disable border-zero, quotes

p {
  border: none; // No lint reported
  content: "hello"; // No lint reported
}

Disable a rule for a single line

p {
  border: none; // sass-lint:disable-line border-zero
}

Disable all lints within a block (and all contained blocks)

p {
  // sass-lint:disable-block border-zero
  border: none; // No result reported
}

However, before, if you wanted to disable certain rules, but only for specific code blocks and/or pieces of the code. As far as I can tell from the underlying source code it would not be possible with sass-lint. I’ve tried a few other searches as well, and skimmed the code base in general, but found no hint that the feature you’re looking for exists.

For comparison, this query for the scss-lint source code clearly shows it is implemented there, in a fashion that doesn’t seem to have an analogous solution in the lib you are using.

Disabling through yml configs

You can disable rules in general though. You need to have a .sass-lint.yml file to disable warnings.

Suppose you have this gulpfile.js:

'use strict';

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    sassLint = require('gulp-sass-lint');

gulp.task('default', [], function() {
  gulp.src('sass/*.scss')
    .pipe(sassLint())
    .pipe(sassLint.format())
    .pipe(sassLint.failOnError());
});

And this package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp": "^3.9.0",
    "gulp-sass": "^2.1.1",
    "gulp-sass-lint": "^1.1.1"
  }
}

Running on this styles.scss file:

div { dsply: block; }

You get this output:

[23:53:33] Using gulpfile D:\experiments\myfolder\gulpfile.js
[23:53:33] Starting 'default'...
[23:53:33] Finished 'default' after 8.84 ms

sass\styles.scss
  1:7   warning  Property `dsply` appears to be spelled incorrectly  no-misspelled-properties
  1:21  warning  Files must end with a new line                      final-newline

??? 2 problems (0 errors, 2 warnings)

Now if you add a .sass-lint.yml file next to the gulpfile, with this content:

rules:
  no-misspelled-properties: 0

You’ll instead see:

[23:54:56] Using gulpfile D:\experiments\myfolder\gulpfile.js
[23:54:56] Starting 'default'...
[23:54:56] Finished 'default' after 9.32 ms

sass\styles.scss
  1:21  warning  Files must end with a new line  final-newline

??? 1 problem (0 errors, 1 warning)

One of the warnings is now ignored.

The sass-lint readme.md links to the apparent default config which has some more examples.
