TestRelevance enum

Controls how a lint rule interacts with test files.

Most lint rules enforce production code patterns that are irrelevant or counterproductive in test files. For example, hardcoded strings, magic numbers, and missing documentation are expected in tests.

By default, rules skip test files entirely (never). Override SaropaLintRule.testRelevance to change this behavior.

Migration from skipTestFiles:

  • skipTestFiles => true is now the default (never)
  • skipTestFiles => false becomes always
  • applicableFileTypes => {FileType.test} becomes testOnly

Values

never → const TestRelevance

Rule does NOT run on test files.

This is the default. Use for production-focused rules: hardcoded config, magic numbers, security credentials, accessibility labels, documentation requirements, etc.

always → const TestRelevance

Rule runs on ALL files including test files.

Use for universal code quality rules that matter everywhere: empty catch blocks, unused imports, missing dispose, naming conventions, async safety, etc.

testOnly → const TestRelevance

Rule runs ONLY on test files.

Use for test-specific rules: test structure, mock usage, assertion patterns, test naming, etc.
