Blanket Disable Command

swiftlint:disable commands should use next, this or previous to disable rules for a single line, or swiftlint:enable to re-enable the rules immediately after the violations to be ignored, instead of disabling the rule for the rest of the file.

• Identifier: blanket_disable_command
• Enabled by default: Yes
• Supports autocorrection: No
• Kind: lint
• Analyzer rule: No
• Minimum Swift compiler version: 5.0.0
• Default configuration:

  Key	Value
  severity	warning
  allowed_rules	[“file_header”, “file_length”, “file_name”, “file_name_no_space”, “single_test_class”]
  always_blanket_disable	[]

Rationale

The intent of this rule is to prevent code like

// swiftlint:disable force_unwrapping
let foo = bar!

which disables the force_unwrapping rule for the remainder of the file, instead of just for the specific violation.

next, this, or previous can be used to restrict the disable command’s scope to a single line, or it can be re-enabled after the violations.

To disable this rule in code you will need to do something like

// swiftlint:disable:next blanket_disable_command
// swiftlint:disable force_unwrapping
