SwiftLint: Exclude file for specific rule

Question

I'm trying to do something like this in my .swiftlint.yml file:

force_cast:
  severity: warning # explicitly
  excluded:
    - Dog.swift

I have this code and I don't like the force_try warning I'm getting for it:

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(Constants.dogViewCellReuseIdentifier,
                                                               forIndexPath: indexPath) as! DogViewCell

I want to suppress the warning for this file by excluding this file from the rule.

Is there a way to do that ?

Answer 1

Well, if you don't want some specific rules to be applied to a specific file you can use the technique mentioned by @Benno Kress. For that you need to add a comment in your swift file as given below.

The rules will be disabled until the end of the file or until the linter sees a matching enable comment:

// swiftlint:disable <rule1> 

   YOUR CODE WHERE NO rule1 is applied

// swiftlint:enable <rule1>

It is also possible to skip some files by configuring swiftlint. add a ".swiftlint.yml" file in the directory where you'll run SwiftLint.

Add the following content to exclude some files. Lets say file1, file2 ... etc

excluded: 
  - file1
  - file2
  - folder1
  - folder1/ExcludedFile.swift

To disable some rules completely add the following to the same ".swiftlint.yml" file.

disabled_rules: # rule identifiers to exclude from running
  - colon
  - comma
  - control_statement
