no-callback-in-promise misses callback passed as argument

gabegorelick opened this issue · comments

Description

The no-callback-in-promise rule only checks for CallExpressions. It does not check if a callback is passed to a third-party like setTimeout(callback). I think any time a callback is passed to another function, the assumption should be that the callback will be called.

Steps to Reproduce

function wait (callback) {
  return Promise.resolve()
    .then(() => {
      setTimeout(() => callback()); // this fails
      setTimeout(callback); // this does not fail
    }); 
}

Expected behavior: no-callback-in-promise flags error

Actual behavior: no-callback-in-promise rule does not flag error

Versions

Additional Information

Potential implementation: in https://github.com/xjamundx/eslint-plugin-promise/blob/5b935bdd3c3760a2e58eea9b89c86b6d3243e321/rules/lib/is-callback.js, you can potentially check if any of the CallExpressions's arguments is a named callback.
