@kenny you can visit the docs, configuration and there you will see how to exclude namespaces from being warned about. You can also use a regex

I’ll make a new screenshot, thanks

@kenny the screenshot is updated

@kenny Here are the config docs I referred to (I was on mobile earlier): https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/blob/master/doc/config.md#exclude-required-but-unused-namespace-from-being-reported

@borkdude Thanks! Curious, is there a way to send info from the editor to clj-kondo? It'd be cool if I could alt+enter over a unused namespace and mark it as excluded.

not yet. what editor are you using?

Cursive

I’ve also been thinking of something like this:

(ns example
  {:clj-kondo/config
   {:linters {:unused-namespace {:exclude ['clojure.string]}}}}
  (:require [clojure.string]))

but to answer your question: I guess you would have to write editor-specific code to add something to the clj-kondo configuration file, that isn’t something clj-kondo provides for all editors

note that you can also use a regex in the config, if you have many similar names

Hmm. Not sure if I'd want to add that to my namespace but that could be useful. I see. It;s unfortunate that there isn't a common interface for describing these lint-esque problems.

BTW I could see it being useful to exclude a ns like foo.specs but also still want a lint check for something like this [foo.specs :as foo-specs], noting that foo-specs is not used anywhere.

feel free to post an issue about it

testing the new “unused bindings” feature is still appreciated. https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/issues/173
