Stylelint disable rule, "no-descending-specificity" null does not work

Question

Not able to disable the styelint rule "no-descending-specificity" by assigning null value within the stylelintric.json file

"rules": {
    "no-descending-specificity": null
 }

Instead I had to write the below line to the top of my scss file

/* stylelint-disable no-descending-specificity */

Stylint doc however allows usage of null to turn off any rule. What could be wrong here?

My eslint version is 4.19.1.

Stylelint may not be using the configuration object that you added "no-descending-specificity": null to.

Check that:

you only have one .stylelintrc file, stylelint.config.js file or stylelint property in your package.json file (see docs)
if using a file, ensure it's named correctly, e.g. .stylelintrc.json (note the leading period and spelling of the file name)
the file is in the root of your project

A more complete configuration object, should look like:

{ 
  "extends": ["stylelint-config-standard"],
  "rules": {
    "no-descending-specificity": null
   }
}
