Description

I use neomake (vim plugin) which creates temporary files for "on the fly linking", for a normal file src/foo/Bar.test.js you get src/foo/.Bar.test.js@neomake_123_2.js

I have "no-extraneous-dependencies" rule enabled like in your example (just with more paths):

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"devDependencies": ["**/*.test.js", "**/*.spec.js"]}]

from https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/blob/master/docs/rules/no-extraneous-dependencies.md

How do you specify that files like "**/.*.test.js" are also ok to use dev dependencies?

I tried:

  • **/.*.test.js doesn't exclude the files
  • **/\.*.test.js triggers an error in eslint config parser
  • **/\\.*.test.js doesn't exclude the files

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how glob patterns are processed in the no extraneous dependencies rule, especially whether hidden files (starting with a dot) are matched. Look at the rule's source code for path matching logic and test whether patterns like '**/.*.test.js' work. Consider updating the documentation or fixing the pattern matching to support dot files.
