Question - Is it possible to ignore rules by resource/file?

[shauns]

The config settings for ignoring rules seem to be per-project. Is it possible to ignore rules per-file or per-resource?

I have a set of existing resources that break some of the recommendations -- I'd like to catch if I add something that breaks these, but thats hard to spot with the baseline noise that comes from the existing resources.

Unfortunately, it cannot ignore only specific files or resources...
I have not thought of a good way yet, but I think that it must be able to set more detailed settings.

Hi @shauns, I'm sorry for the late reply.

In v0.8.1, ignore annotations are available for suppressing issues on the specific lines. The following is an example:

resource "aws_instance" "foo" {
    # tflint-ignore: aws_instance_invalid_type
    instance_type = "t1.2xlarge"
}

Please see the README for details. Thank you for your question!
