This can't currently be done from within a file

@borkdude On a related topic, can ns metadata provide :lint-as config for macros in that ns? I've not been able to get that to work...

yes, that should work but you have to use the quote on the config

{:clj-kondo/config '{:lint-as {foo.bar/baz ...}}}

in fact I used it yesterday for this example: https://gist.github.com/borkdude/1fc2bd73c77d094fb0577c9caf9684b3

And that foo.bar/baz is how to refer to a macro baz in the same file, i.e., where the ns is (ns foo.bar ..)?

Can you give a full example, just to make sure we’re taking about the same thing?

I found the non-working example and futzed with it a bit and it starting working. Two things seemed to be working against me: • I had #:clj-kondo{:config ..} • I had :lint-as '{...} Once I changed the format to {:clj-kondo/config '{:lint-as {..}}} it worked -- i.e., switched away from the namespaced-map format and moved the quote out to the whole :clj-kondo/config value instead of just the :lint-as value.

great, yes, this is the expected format. The reason it works like this is that clj-kondo sees this as a rewrite-clj node, not as plain EDN

and writing quotes in unexpected places gets you EDN like this: {(quote foo) bar} etc which is hard to parse

Ah, I didn't realize it was so sensitive to structure -- I'd assumed Clojure-equivalence in syntax.

it's not evaluated

Right, but I thought that was reader-equivalent.

I can see now that it is subtly different 🙂

It's documented here: https://github.com/clj-kondo/clj-kondo/blob/master/doc/config.md#metadata-config (I don't mean that as RTFM, just FYI ;))

Well, if I'd read that caveat, I would have known! :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: Thank you!
