no-div-regex

A regular expression literal that starts with = begins with /=, which is also the division assignment operator. You have to look twice to see which one it is.

--fix rewrites the = to [=], which matches the same text.

Configure

Off by default. To turn it on:

[lint.rules]
"no-div-regex" = "error" # or "warn"
