Disable refactor rules

[martinaldrin]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to enable error-prone with the refactor rules in our projects.
The problem that I facing is that I can't disable rules like PreconditionsRules
https://error-prone.picnic.tech/refasterrules/PreconditionsRules/#checkargument

• [ No] I have verified that the issue is reproducible against the latest version
  of the project.
  I was not able to use 2.36.0, so I use 2.35.1 due to other issues.
• [yes ] I have searched through existing issues to verify that this issue is not
  already known.
  I have tried to find information about how to enable/disable refactor rules and I can not get name pattern working.

Hi @martinaldrin , thanks for opening an issue. Sorry for the late response.

This seems like it should work 🤔.
I tried something locally in a demo project which worked.

Could you try the following:

-XepOpt:Refaster:NamePattern=^(?!(PreconditionsRules)).*

And let us know if this works for you as well? If so, we will update the documentation of course.
