Hi Thomas,
From my PoV, it seems to work as designed and the override is wrong.
To take your first example:
rkward/plugins/plots/box_plot.js line length is 257 characters (>256)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
MUST ALSO BE MATCHED!
AFAICT, neither of your 2 first overrides matches that and nor should
they since:
1) "*.js" fails to match "line length is 257 characters (>256)"
2) "rkward/plugins/*.js" - same as 1)
An alternative override that should work:
source-is-missing *.js line length is * characters (>256)
Thanks,
~Niels
