E044 (Missing children within `.input group`) - Herst/bootlint-ng GitHub Wiki
Note: Below is the original page from the Bootlint documentation, some of the info here might not apply to Bootlint-NG!
.input-groups are meant to contain both a .form-control and at least one addon such as .input-group-addon or .input-group-btn. Omitting the addon can cause the .form-control to lose styling. Omitting the control doesn't make sense and causes some styles to be lost. Ensure you have all the required element with the correct classes within an .input-group.
Wrong:
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-describedby="basic-addon1">
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon" id="basic-addon1">@</span>
</div>Right:
<div class="input-group">

<div class="input-group">
