Description

Linter

In v0.5.0, several APIs were refactored for the new RuleConfigPatch architecture, but we kept backward-compatibility measures to prevent breaking downstream consumers. These should be removed in the next major version release.

APIs to remove:

  • Validator constructor: ruleOverrides parameter.
  • LintTargetConfig: rules getter.
  • Configuration: configuredRules getter.
  • ValidationSession: resolvedRules parameter.
  • ValidationSession: resolveRulesForPath parameter.
  • src/validator.dart: export 'models/validation_result.dart';
