"as any" exception to no-object-literal-type-assertion

[KurtPreston]

I really like the no-object-literal-type-assertion rule for cases where I'm trying to type a variable. i.e., this is great:

// What I should write:
const x: MyInterface = {...}

// What tslint wisely stops me from writing:
const x = {...} as MyInterface

However, the one circumstance where I tend to use the as syntax is specifically when doing type overrides for tests. i.e.

// What I want to write for my test:
const x = {...} as any

// What tslint recommends:
const x: any = {...}

In this case, I'm using as any to draw attention to the fact that it is an override... the variable x is not actually an any type.

Would it be possible to add an option to ignore no-object-literal-type-assertion for as any?

That was already done in a recent PR and will be part of the next release. Am 08.05.2017 21:21 schrieb "Kurt Preston" <notifications@github.com>:
