Pull request overview

Fixes eslint(no-unused-vars) false positives on dotted/nested TypeScript namespace declarations (e.g. export namespace editor.multiplayer {}), aligning behavior with @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars and closing #21405.

Changes:

  • Update no-unused-vars TS namespace allowance logic to treat dotted namespace segments as non-reportable.
  • Add/enable regression tests covering dotted namespace declarations and ensure non-dotted nested namespaces still report unused declarations.
  • Update snapshots to reflect the new/adjusted namespace test expectations.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 4 out of 4 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

File Description
crates/oxc_linter/src/rules/eslint/no_unused_vars/allowed.rs Allows all segments in dotted TSModuleDeclaration chains to avoid unused-var reports for namespace path segments.
crates/oxc_linter/src/rules/eslint/no_unused_vars/tests/oxc.rs Adds passing cases for export namespace editor.* dotted namespaces and adds a failing case ensuring regular nested namespaces still report.
crates/oxc_linter/src/rules/eslint/no_unused_vars/tests/typescript_eslint.rs Enables a namespace foo.bar {} test case to validate parity with TypeScript ESLint expectations.
crates/oxc_linter/src/snapshots/eslint_no_unused_vars@oxc-namespaces.snap Updates snapshot output for the namespaces test suite (adds expected diagnostic for unused nested Inner).
