Description
Our project gets a lot of false positives related to Unnecessary conditional due to incomplete types in our project. It would be great if we could enable only the "Unnecessary optional chain" errors to aid us in incremental migration.
Fail
This should still flag as `Unnecessary optional chain on a non-nullish value.`
const option = courseSelect.selectedOptions[0];
if (option) {
copyForm.action = option?.dataset.copyUrl ?? '';Pass
This should still be allowed (previously: ``Unnecessary conditional, comparison is always true, since `"expire" === "expire"` is true.``):
if (action === 'set_total') {
explanation =
'Updating the total time limit will set the given amount of time for the assessment based on when the assessment was started.';
} else if (action === 'expire') {
explanation =
'This will expire the time limit and students will be unable to submit any further answers.';
