Feature request: shorter syntax for "no rules"

[sparr]

I want to run yamllint without any "style" rules, breaking only on syntax errors. The shortest way I've found to do that is yamllint -d "{rules:{}}" file.yaml which took me a few tries to get right and seems overly verbose.

It would be nice if an empty config file or -d "" would work, or even if there was a command line option to disable all rules.

Hi,

What about yamllint -d syntax-only file.yaml?

It could be achieved by creating a config file (yamllint/conf/syntax-only.yaml) in this repo.

I'm closing this because yamllint -d "{rules:{}}" is simple to use.

yamllint --help says

  -d CONFIG_DATA, --config-data CONFIG_DATA
                        custom configuration (as YAML source)

but it wasn't obvious to me at the time what would make for a minimal valid set of configuration data to produce the desired result. I can't remember what I tried then, but today I tried...

• an empty string "", which was invalid config: not a dict
• an empty dict "{}", which throws a TypeError, which is possibly issue-worthy itself, since I'd expect it to be caught and reported as another invalid config
• a dict with a useless key "{a:}", which works and I must have missed previously in looking more directly at rules-specific behavior

PS: "CONFIG_DATA" doesn't seem to appear in the online docs at all.
