Require Files Don't Exist

This rule checks that the specified list of files do not exist.

The following parameters are supported by this rule:

  • message - an optional message to the user if the rule fails.
  • files - A list of files to check.
  • allowNulls - If null files should be allowed. If allowed, they will be treated as if they do not exist. Default is false.
  • satisfyAny - Allows that one of files can make the rule pass, instead of all the files. Default is false.
