Disable a linter¶

You can disable a linter for a snap by listing it in the lint.ignore key.

For example, to disable both built-in linters, add this to your project file:

snapcraft.yaml¶

lint:
  ignore:
    - classic
    - library

Ignore specific files¶

To disable a linter for a specific file, you can list it under a linter’s entry in the lint.ignore key. The path is relative to the snap directory tree, and supports wildcard characters (*).

In the following example, the classic linter is disabled entirely, and the library linter won’t run for the files in usr/lib that match the specified pattern:

snapcraft.yaml¶

lint:
  ignore:
    - classic
    - library:
      - usr/lib/**/libfoo.so*
