1781025 - ESLint's use of multi-ini doesn't fully cope with mozilla-central's use of .ini files

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Infrastructure :: Lint and Formatting, defect, P5)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

multi-ini doesn't fully work with mozilla-central's .ini files that we use for tests. For example:

• comments are assumed to be ; not #
• [include:xpcshell-included-with-prefs.ini] is expected to be referencing a parent section within the same file, rather than imported.

There is also what appears to be a bug, where if = is referenced, it tries to split that up even if it is in a comment, e.g. this case was failing.

At the moment, I think this mainly only affects testing/xpcshell/example/unit, but I wanted to record this for later reference.

Marking this as wont fix due to the current, almost complete, efforts to replace with toml in bug 1821199.
