How to run ESLint on all files (even closed ones) in Visual Studio 2019

In Visual Studio 2019, I have set the following option:

Tools -> Text Editor -> Javascript/Typescript -> Linting -> Lint all files included in project, even closed files = Checked

That setting shows a disclaimer:

This setting is ignored when diagnostics are only reported for open files

I assume that is why VS isn't linting all files (unless I open them first).

How do I turn on diagnostic reporting for closed files so that ESlint reports on every file in the project?

Solution

  • Here's the setting that turns off diagnostics are only reported for open files;

    Tools -> Text Editor -> Javascript/Typescript -> Project -> General -> Only report diagnostics for opened files in the editor - UNCHECK

    This worked for me to get ESLint Error and Warnings on ALL files - open or closed.
