How do you exclude a folder from next build?

[tidal fulcrum]

foo/
  problem-file.ts # causes type error
src/
  ..

Linting and checking validity of types.
Failed to compile.

I'd like to just completely ignore the foo/ folder from any checks during next build
Adding "ignorePatterns": ["foo"] to .eslintrc does not seem to have any effect although this seems to be the suggested approach that i've found.

You can add "rootDir": "src" [Replace "src" with the only folder you want it to read]

It's "src" folder in your case

It's gonna exclude all folders except src

In tsconfig.json

Or you can also add your folder in "exclude"

that didn't work either

i had some input that seems to help...
by removing the tsconfig compilerOptions "noUnusedLocals": true, i can swap to an eslint rule such as no-unused-vars, and the ignorePattern now works

Great

Does it work now?
