Docs: double negative in configuration file resolution

[MikeMcC399]

Docs page(s)

• v8 > Configuration Files (New) > Configuration File Resolution and
• v9 > Configuration Files > Configuration File Resolution

What documentation issue do you want to solve?

Both pages contain the sentence:

If none of the files are not found, it checks the parent directory for each file.

This is a double negative and it does not make sense the way it is written.

What do you think is the correct solution?

Remove the word "not", so the sentence becomes:

If none of the files are found, it checks the parent directory for each file.

Thanks for spotting this @MikeMcC399! I don't think we can fix the wording in the v8 docs at this time, because that would require doing a new v8.x release, which isn't planned. But feel free to submit a pull request to fix the v9 docs. The file to edit is docs/src/use/configure/configuration-files.md.

Thanks for confirming!

• https://github.com/eslint/eslint/pull/18419 should do the trick, at least for v9 docs.
