Disable annotations (useWorker not working)

[JasonEtco]

Heyo 👋 I'm having trouble disabling the annotations. After searching through some issues, I've tried out the following:

<AceEditor
  value={code}
  mode="javascript"
  theme="github"
  showLineNumbers
  readOnly
  editorProps={{
    $useWorker: false,
  }}
  setOptions={{
    useWorker: false
  }}
/>

As I understand it, setting either setOptions.useWorker or editorProps.$useWorker to false should disable annotations and linting entirely, but it just isn't working. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try removing $useWorker: false from the editorProps. It looks like setting both of the options actually doesn't disable the linter. You just need useWorker: false in setOptions.

@JasonEtco does @SidneyNemzer 's tip help?

[JasonEtco]

@SidneyNemzer @securingsincity I haven't had a chance to test it, I ended up going with a different component for my needs. Sorry!

For what its worth, I had gone through iterations of trying each one individually which didn't do the trick.

@securingsincity, I can confirm that @SidneyNemzer tip works:

<AceEditor
  mode="javascript"
  theme="monokai"
  onChange={this.handleChange}
  value={this.state.code}
  name="editor"
  setOptions={{ useWorker: false }}
  editorProps={{ $blockScrolling: true }}
/>

successfully disables the worker. Looking forward to the eslint babel-eslint change upstream.

You've peaked my interest @mattblackdev. Has Ace switched to using ESLint? I haven't seen anything about that being completed on the Ace repo.

The trick didn't work for me. It keeps trying to start worker.
I wonder if I set useWorker false, does it stop trying to create a worker? Or it creates one but not use it.

{
  ...,
  setOptions: {
    useWorker: false
  }
}

is disabling all annotations for me

I also encountered the problem of disabled annotations not taking effect.

Quick operations can still be used to annotate in development

yeah, this works

We are also encountering this issue in our codebase. We have the following component:

<AceEditor
    mode={aceModes[mode] || 'text'}
    className={`pf-c-form-control ${className}`}
    theme="github"
    onChange={debounce(onChange, 250)}
    value={value}
    onFocus={onFocus}
    onBlur={onBlur}
    name={`${id}-editor` || 'code-editor'}
    editorProps={{ $blockScrolling: true }}
    fontSize={16}
    width="100%"
    height={height}
    hasErrors={hasErrors}
    setOptions={{
        readOnly,
        highlightActiveLine: !readOnly,
        highlightGutterLine: !readOnly,
        useWorker: false,
        showPrintMargin: false,
    }}
    commands={[
    {
        name: 'escape',
        bindKey: { win: 'Esc', mac: 'Esc' },
        exec: () => {
        wrapper.current.focus();
        },
    },
    {
        name: 'tab escape',
        bindKey: { win: 'Shift-Tab', mac: 'Shift-Tab' },
        exec: () => {
        wrapper.current.focus();
        },
    },
    ]}
    ref={editor}
/>

However when I introspect from Chrome dev tools the useWorker prop is not present:
