Disable TSLint in VSCode
TypescriptVisual Studio-CodeTslintTypescript Problem Overview
So this feels like this should be such an easy task but it's starting to drive me insane. I can't seem to turn off TSLint or TS or whatever it is that gives me these errors. I just want the ESLint with my own configured rules, nothing else.
Is it built in TS? I have disabled TSLint extension (even uninstalled it). I have set the following rules:
"typescript.format.enable": false,
"typescript.validate.enable": false,
Still gives me error. How do I turn this off?
Typescript Solutions
Solution 1 - Typescript
It seems that the error is coming from the TypeScript extension, which is also handling the JavaScript IntelliSense. Due to some UX ignorance, VSCode prefixes the error with [ts] instead of [js].
To disable these validations, set
"javascript.validate.enable": false
See this issue for more details.
Solution 2 - Typescript
I've been hunting around for this answer for the better part of a month now. I found a solution that works in VS Code that isn't a wholesale disabling of all validation for javascript and also did not require that I add files/declarations to a repository that is not mine.
Add this line to your user settings:
"javascript.suggestionActions.enabled": false
Unlike "javascript.validate.enable": false (which you should not use), the above setting will remove those annoying [ts] Could not find a declaration file for module errors for untyped module imports in javascript files and it will still play nice with linters and give you appropriate and relevant errors.
Solution 3 - Typescript
Ctrl-Shift-P (Command Palette)
Type Preferences: Open Workspace Settings JSON
add >"tslint.enable":false
Or >"typescript.validate.enable": false
But beware, as @rawpower has said "We don't want to disable errors, just 'warnings'"
Anyways, save and restart VSCode
Solution 4 - Typescript
Most of the answers turn off the duplicate errors for JavaScript, not TypeScript, like the OP asked about. What worked for me was:
- Uninstall the TSLint vscode extension
- Install the ESLint vscode extension
- Finish configuring ESLint for TypeScript (will now have both "ts errors" and "eslint errors" at this point like the OP).
- Open settings.json and add this to the bottom:
"typescript.validate.enable": false
At first, I was concerned that this option would turn off all typescript validation, including eslint, but fortunately that wasn't the case. It only disables the built-in vscode typescript validation and leaves eslint alone.
The most important part is adding "typescript.validate.enable": false to settings.json
Or, instead of manually editing settings.json, another way is to uncheck the box in the settings menu (ctrl+'):
FYI, you can add it to either your User settings.json (applies to all your projects) or your Workspace settings.json (only applies to the current project).
Solution 5 - Typescript
Just open settings (File -> preference -> Settings) or short cut (Ctl + ,) and search for the 'Javascript Validate'.
Solution 6 - Typescript
For me the solution was to create a jsconfig.json file at root level.
Inside you can configure the compilerOptions, which did the trick for me after restart of VSCode.
Solution 7 - Typescript
As far as I understand, VSCode is checking himself the javascript, and believe the TypeScript errors are what you expect.
To stop VSCode from checking my code, and let only the eslint extension check it, I did:
- use eslint to check my javascript (install the extension)
- tell vscode not to check my javascript files: in
jsconfig.json:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"checkJs": false
}
}
I still see the "eslint" reported errors, and those errors are coherent with command line run of eslint.
