@typescript-eslint/prefer-ts-expect-error

@ts-ignore hides every type error on the next line, forever. When the error is fixed, the comment stays, and the next real error on that line is hidden too. @ts-expect-error does the same job, but TypeScript complains once there's no error left to hide, so you know to delete it.

--fix replaces @ts-ignore with @ts-expect-error.

typescript-eslint has deprecated this rule. Use @typescript-eslint/ban-ts-comment instead.

Examples

Reported:

// @ts-ignore: `retries` is missing from the package's types
client.retries = 3;

Not reported:

// @ts-expect-error: `retries` is missing from the package's types
client.retries = 3;

When not to use it

@typescript-eslint/ban-ts-comment covers this and the other @ts- comments. If you use it, you don't need this rule.
