Invalid react/no-direct-mutation-state in constructor

[emmanuelgautier]

In the following special case, the react/no-direct-mutation-state rule throw an invalid error

class OneComponent extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();

    class AnotherComponent extends Component {
      constructor() {
        super();
      }
    }

    this.state = {};
  }
}

A better way is to not declare a component into another component constructor but that is an invalid linter error .

What error is thrown?

[emmanuelgautier]

Error thrown : Do not mutate state directly. Use setState() react/no-direct-mutation-state

This seems like a bug - although I can't conceive of why you'd want to create a component in the constructor like that.

I agree with you, this code is not mine. It should be a closure problem to have access into the AnotherComponent to some variables declared in the first constructor
