Disable with comments
=====================

Disabling checks for a specific line
------------------------------------

To prevent yamllint from reporting problems for a specific line, add a
directive comment (``# yamllint disable-line ...``) on that line, or on the
line above. For instance:

.. code-block:: yaml

 # The following mapping contains the same key twice,
 # but I know what I'm doing:
 key: value 1
 key: value 2  # yamllint disable-line rule:key-duplicates

 - This line is waaaaaaaaaay too long but yamllint will not report anything about it.  # yamllint disable-line rule:line-length
   This line will be checked by yamllint.

or:

.. code-block:: yaml

 # The following mapping contains the same key twice,
 # but I know what I'm doing:
 key: value 1
 # yamllint disable-line rule:key-duplicates
 key: value 2

 # yamllint disable-line rule:line-length
 - This line is waaaaaaaaaay too long but yamllint will not report anything about it.
   This line will be checked by yamllint.

It is possible, although not recommend, to disabled **all** rules for a
specific line:

.. code-block:: yaml

 # yamllint disable-line
 -  {    all : rules ,are disabled   for this line}

If you need to disable multiple rules, it is allowed to chain rules like this:
``# yamllint disable-line rule:hyphens rule:commas rule:indentation``.

Disabling checks for all (or part of) the file
----------------------------------------------

To prevent yamllint from reporting problems for the whole file, or for a block
of lines within the file, use ``# yamllint disable ...`` and ``# yamllint
enable ...`` directive comments. For instance:

.. code-block:: yaml

 # yamllint disable rule:colons
 - Lorem       : ipsum
   dolor       : sit amet,
   consectetur : adipiscing elit
 # yamllint enable rule:colons

 - rest of the document...

It is possible, although not recommend, to disabled **all** rules:

.. code-block:: yaml

 # yamllint disable
 - Lorem       :
         ipsum:
           dolor : [   sit,amet]
 -         consectetur : adipiscing elit
 # yamllint enable

If you need to disable multiple rules, it is allowed to chain rules like this:
``# yamllint disable rule:hyphens rule:commas rule:indentation``.
