How to match "current" when used as adjective (sequence)

[jastram]

tr;dr: How do I match "current" as an adjective, but not as a noun? Could it be that my rule only applies to the first word of a sentence?

Example:
OK: The controller requires a current of 2 A max.
Error: The device’s current support for bluetooth is being deprecated.

What I tried so far:

extends: sequence
message: "Don't use timeless language: 'current'"
ignorecase: true
level: error

tokens:
  - pattern: 'current'
    tag: JJ

This rule does not work, both sentences are marked as error.

However, after playing around with this, the rule seems to work correctly for the first word of the sentence. I am at a loss...

Thanks for vale & thanks for helping!

Problems like this almost always come down to part-of-speech tagging issues. You can explore this with the (undocumented) tag command -- for example,

$ vale tag test.md en ''

I'd like to use a more robust library (#356), but I've yet to think of/implement a good solution.
