Enhancement: [import/no-restricted-paths] accept target exceptions about eslint-plugin-import HOT 5 OPEN

also can't target be combined with except already?

No, except applies only to from as the documentation states:

except may be defined for a zone, allowing exception paths that would otherwise violate the related from. Note that it does not alter the behaviour of target in any way.

It would be nice if target and from had similar configuration. Either through execpt/exceptTarget as suggested here, or by allowing negated paths.

Can't you already handle this by using eslint overrides?

Some use-cases can be solved with overrides, but sadly not all. If you have multiple zones for the same target with different exceptions, you can't represent that with overrides as they would cancel each other out.

For our use-case specifically, we managed to find a way using overrides in the end (though not as clean as I hoped), so this issue is not a blocker for us. I still think this would be a nice feature though 🙂
