How to exclude a file from being linted by jinjalint?

[akinhwan]

How can i exclude a file from being linted? @motet-a

Or, could I have multiple config files for the same project?

Also is there more documentation on what I can put in my jinjalintconfig file? I currently just has "indent_size = 2"

for example eslint has disable comment at top of the file as an option

or would the solution for editor config work the same for jinjalint config?

@akinhwan I also needed to do this for my project – there is no way to do this with jinjalint that I know of, so here is what I ended up with:

jinjalint --parse-only <your target folder> | grep -v '<name of file to ignore>' | tee /dev/tty | wc -l | grep -q '0'

The tee and wc -l bits are here so you can see the output of jinjalint, and also so that if there are linting errors the whole command will return an error code.

For example, linting all files inside the wagtail folder, ignoring one specific error:

jinjalint --parse-only wagtail | grep -v 'welcome_page.html:6:70' | tee /dev/tty | wc -l | grep -q '0'

thanks @thibaudcolas let me try this out and report back to close the issue if it works! For now I've just decided to use htmllint for the files in question
