linter: unicorn/switch-case-braces not applying defaults when enabled via categories

[KieranP]

What version of Oxlint are you using?

1.8.0

What command did you run?

oxlint src/**/*.{js,ts}

What does your .oxlintrc.json config file look like?

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/oxlint/configuration_schema.json",
  "plugins": ["eslint", "oxc", "typescript", "import", "promise", "unicorn"],
  "categories": {
    "correctness": "error",
    "nursery": "error",
    "pedantic": "error",
    "perf": "error",
    "restriction": "error",
    "style": "error",
    "suspicious": "error"
  }
}

What happened?

I have enabled specific plugins, and within those plugins, enabled rules for all categories available.

Running oxlint --print-config shows the following:

As you can see, unicorn/switch-case-braces is set to "deny", which by default (according to the docs), should require braces.

But when I run oxlint, it reports issues on case statements that have braces as being unnessary, even though the default is to require them.

  × eslint-plugin-unicorn(switch-case-braces): Unnecessary braces in case clause.

    ╰────
  help: Remove Braces for case clause.

If I then add "unicorn/switch-case-braces": "deny" to my oxlintrc.json file, the print-config is enactly the same, but those warnings disappear.

So when enabled via categories, the default doesn't seem to be taken into account. But when added manually, then it is.

[KieranP]

I've noticed the same thing on the Yoda linter. If added via categories, it reverts to warning when conditions aren't yoda statements (i.e. it complains about variable === true, and wants true === variable. But when adding the exact same config line into oxlintrc.json, it then picks up the default and warns on true === variable.

Seems to be some general glitch where being included via categories is using wrong/no defaults, but the same lines in oxlintrc do pick up defaults properly.

[J3m5]

I think this is the same for typescript/no-explicit-any, it should be enabled with the default config "error" (https://typescript-eslint.io/rules/no-explicit-any/) but when activating the plugin and adding the restriction category it does not reports errors, it needs to be configured manually.

Thanks for reporting
