This is mostly useful for +browser-chrome mochitests that call browser functions. + + +import-globals-from +------------------- + +Parses a file for globals defined in various unique Mozilla ways. + +When a "import-globals-from <path>" comment is found in a file, then all globals +from the file at <path> will be imported in the current scope. This will also +operate recursively. + +This is useful for scripts that are loaded as <script> tag in a window and rely +on each other's globals. + +If <path> is a relative path, then it must be relative to the file being +checked by the rule. + + +import-headjs-globals +--------------------- + +Import globals from head.js and from any files that were imported by +head.js (as far as we can correctly resolve the path). + +The following file import patterns are supported: + +- ``Services.scriptloader.loadSubScript(path)`` +- ``loader.loadSubScript(path)`` +- ``loadSubScript(path)`` +- ``loadHelperScript(path)`` +- ``import-globals-from path`` + +If path does not exist because it is generated e.g. +``testdir + "/somefile.js"`` we do our best to resolve it. + +The following patterns are supported: + +- ``Cu.import("resource://devtools/client/shared/widgets/ViewHelpers.jsm");`` +- ``loader.lazyImporter(this, "name1");`` +- ``loader.lazyRequireGetter(this, "name2"`` +- ``loader.lazyServiceGetter(this, "name3"`` +- ``XPCOMUtils.defineLazyModuleGetter(this, "setNamedTimeout", ...)`` +- ``loader.lazyGetter(this, "toolboxStrings"`` +- ``XPCOMUtils.defineLazyGetter(this, "clipboardHelper"`` + + +mark-test-function-used +----------------------- + +Simply marks `test` (the test method) or `run_test` as used when in mochitests +or xpcshell tests respectively. This avoids ESLint telling us that the function +is never called. + + +no-aArgs +-------- + +Checks that function argument names don't start with lowercase 'a' followed by +a capital letter. This is to prevent the use of Hungarian notation whereby the +first letter is a prefix that indicates the type or intended use of a variable. + + +no-cpows-in-tests +----------------- + +This rule checks if the file is a browser mochitest and, if so, checks for +possible CPOW usage by checking for the following strings: + +- "gBrowser.contentWindow" +- "gBrowser.contentDocument" +- "gBrowser.selectedBrowser.contentWindow" +- "browser.contentDocument" +- "window.content" +- "content" +- "content." + +Note: These are string matches so we will miss situations where the parent +object is assigned to another variable e.g.:: + + var b = gBrowser; + b.content // Would not be detected as a CPOW. + + +no-single-arg-cu-import +----------------------- + +Rejects calls to "Cu.import" that do not supply a second argument (meaning they +add the exported properties into global scope). + + +reject-importGlobalProperties +----------------------------- + +Rejects calls to ``Cu.importGlobalProperties``. Use of this function is +undesirable in some parts of the tree. + + +reject-some-requires +-------------------- + +This takes an option, a regular expression. Invocations of +``require`` with a string literal argument are matched against this +regexp; and if it matches, the ``require`` use is flagged. + + +this-top-level-scope +-------------------- + +Treats top-level assignments like ``this.mumble = value`` as declaring a global. + +Note: These are string matches so we will miss situations where the parent +object is assigned to another variable e.g.:: + + var b = gBrowser; + b.content // Would not be detected as a CPOW. + + +var-only-at-top-level +--------------------- + +Marks all var declarations that are not at the top level invalid. + + +Example +======= + ++-------+-----------------------+ +| Possible values for all rules | ++-------+-----------------------+ +| Value | Meaning | ++-------+-----------------------+ +| 0 | Deactivated | ++-------+-----------------------+ +| 1 | Warning | ++-------+-----------------------+ +| 2 | Error | ++-------+-----------------------+ + +Example configuration:: + + "rules": { + "mozilla/balanced-listeners": 2, + "mozilla/components-imports": 1, + "mozilla/import-globals-from": 1, + "mozilla/import-headjs-globals": 1, + "mozilla/mark-test-function-used": 1, + "mozilla/var-only-at-top-level": 1, + "mozilla/no-cpows-in-tests": 1, + } |
