1277641 - [mozlint] Add a --no-filter argument to bypass filtering when experimenting

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Infrastructure :: Lint and Formatting, defect)

Description

[Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal]]

Often a developer may just want to see the lint results of a directory or file, without landing it or anything. But to do this, they need to modify the include/exclude directives in the linter config, such that that path is included.

This is kind of annoying, especially if checking many different paths across the tree. There should be a --no-filter option that bypasses the include/exclude filtering. This will make testing things out locally a lot easier.

This makes it easier to lint a path that otherwise wouldn't have been linted due to the include/exclude
directives. Now, you can pass in -n/--no-filter instead of needing to modify the linter configuration file.
