eslint: Enable @wordpress/no-unused-vars-before-return rule #39127

@anomiex anomiex commented Aug 28, 2024

Proposed changes:

This rule tries to find cases where a variable is set to the result of a function call, but then an early return happens before that value is used. The idea being that we can likely save work by not calling a bunch of functions unnecessarily.

Watch out for functions that have side effects, though. It may be that those need to be called even if the return value doesn't seem to be used. React hooks particularly fall into this category; when our jetpack-js-tools/eslintrc/react config is extended any functions beginning with "use" are ignored as such, but sometimes it seems we're forgetting to extend that.

Other information:

  • Have you written new tests for your changes, if applicable?
  • Have you checked the E2E test CI results, and verified that your changes do not break them?
  • Have you tested your changes on WordPress.com, if applicable (if so, you'll see a generated comment below with a script to run)?

Are you an Automattician? Please test your changes on all WordPress.com environments to help mitigate accidental explosions.

  • To test on WoA, go to the Plugins menu on a WordPress.com Simple site. Click on the "Upload" button and follow the upgrade flow to be able to upload, install, and activate the Jetpack Beta plugin. Once the plugin is active, go to Jetpack > Jetpack Beta, select your plugin, and enable the add/enable-eslint-wordpress-no-unused-vars-before-return branch.

    • For jetpack-mu-wpcom changes, also add define( 'JETPACK_MU_WPCOM_LOAD_VIA_BETA_PLUGIN', true ); to your wp-config.php file.
  • To test on Simple, run the following command on your sandbox:

    bin/jetpack-downloader test jetpack add/enable-eslint-wordpress-no-unused-vars-before-return
    
    bin/jetpack-downloader test jetpack-mu-wpcom-plugin add/enable-eslint-wordpress-no-unused-vars-before-return
