Update old-blog ignore ranges
Old blog posts are historical and not updated, so they are excluded from lint/format checks and fix scripts. Once a year (or as needed), advance the year range in the configuration of each tool listed below.
Configuration to update
Each entry encodes the same policy: currently ignoring 2019 and 202[0-4].
htmltest and link extraction omit 2020 since there are no posts in that year
(the glob-based tools harmlessly include it). Adjust the year ignore
glob/pattern as needed for each tool:
| Tool | Configuration |
|---|---|
| cspell | .cspell.yml → ignorePaths |
| markdownlint | .markdownlint-cli2.yaml → ignores |
| prettier | .prettierignore |
| textlint | .textlintignore (note: requires ** glob suffixes) |
fix:dict, trailing spaces | package.json → __find:md:not-old-blog script |
| htmltest (link checker) | content/en/blog/_index.md → htmltest.IgnoreDirs |
| link extraction | scripts/_extract-external-links.js (mirrors htmltest) |
Verify
The policy is guarded by scripts/old-blog-lint-ignores.test.mjs, which seeds
violations into an old and a recent blog folder and asserts that each tool skips
the former and flags the latter. Run it via:
npm run test:local-tools
If the newly ignored year still has lint debt that the tools now skip, that is expected — old posts are left as is.
