tl;dr I've just landed bug 1415265
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1415265> which means you
no longer need .eslintrc.js files extending the configuration in
commonly-named directories.
Since early in the ESLint days, we've needed extra configuration files
in our test directories to ensure that we have the right environment and
rules set up for them.
This is no more! Following a hint
<https://github.com/eslint/eslint/issues/8813#issuecomment-456034732> on
the ESLint issue that was preventing this, we've been able to work
around the issue, and removed about 200 of the .eslintrc.js files.
If your test directory is named matching one of regexps below, then the
configuration will be automatically applied:
* xpcshell:
o **/test*/unit*/
o **/test*/xpcshell/
* Browser-chrome mochitest:
o **/test*/**/browser/
* Chrome mochitest:
o **/test*/chrome/
* Plain mochitest:
o **/test*/mochitest/
These can be found in the top-level .eslintrc.js file.
I've commented on revisions already in Phabricator where I know they are
now adding files unnecessarily. I'll keep an eye out for any more.
For the next steps, I'm planning on making more of our directories
conform to this format where it makes sense. A lot of the remaining
cases either have no named subdirectory (e.g. just test/) or are sharing
multiple test types in one directory (this latter case makes it very
hard to get the ESLint configuration right).
