Tell us about your environment

• ESLint Version: v6.0.0
• Node Version: v11.15.0
• npm Version: 6.9.0

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using? default

Please show your full configuration:

Configuration

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue, as well as the command that you used to run ESLint.

module.exports = {
  env: {
    browser: true,
    commonjs: true,
    es6: true
  },
  extends: [
    'standard',
    'plugin:vue/recommended',
    'prettier',
    'prettier/babel',
    'prettier/standard',
    'prettier/vue'
  ],
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 2018,
    sourceType: 'module'
  },
  plugins: ['babel', 'prettier', 'standard', 'vue'],
  rules: { 'prettier/prettier': 'error' }
};

$ cd /home/user/www/project && yarn run eslint --print-config .

What did you expect to happen?
Printing config

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint.
Looks in upper path instead of current.

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 6.0.0.
ESLint couldn't find a configuration file. To set up a configuration file for this project, please run:

    eslint --init

ESLint looked for configuration files in /home/user/www and its ancestors.

Project path is located at /home/user/www/project.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug?
No, sorry.

Hey @francoism90 , thanks for the issue.

Where does your .eslintrc.js locate?

Also, can you install ESLint v5 and try it again to let us know whether it's a bug in v6 or not?

[francoism90]

@g-plane Downgrading to Eslint v5 fixes this issue:

  "devDependencies": {
    "cross-env": "^5.2",
    "eslint": "^5.16.0",
    "eslint-config-prettier": "^5.0.0",
    "eslint-config-standard": "^12.0.0",
    "eslint-plugin-babel": "^5.3.0",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.17.3",
    "eslint-plugin-node": "^9.1.0",
    "eslint-plugin-prettier": "^3.1.0",
    "eslint-plugin-promise": "^4.1.1",
    "eslint-plugin-standard": "^4.0.0",
    "eslint-plugin-vue": "^5.2.2",
    "laravel-mix": "^4.0.16",
    "pug-plain-loader": "^1.0.0",
    "resolve-url-loader": "3.1.0",
    "sass-loader": "^7.1.0",
    "vue": "^2.6.10",
    "vue-template-compiler": "^2.6.10"
  }

The configuration file is located at /home/user/www/project/.eslintrc.js and I'm running the command in the same location after/prior ESLint upgrade. I tried removing node_modules, possible caches, etc.

It seems the upper directory is used instead of the project's root.

[g-plane]

How about your package.json? Does it locate at /home/user/www or /home/user/www/project?

[francoism90]

@g-plane /home/user/www/project - everything is the same, except the upgrade to "eslint": "^6.0.0".

[g-plane]

It seems that I can't reproduce this on my PC (Windows 10).

[francoism90]

@g-plane This is on Linux, path lookup may differ.

[francoism90]

For the record, this also happens when upgrading to v6, creating a new .eslintrc.js using yarn run eslint --init and finally running yarn run eslint --print-config .

[mysticatea]

I wonder if this is an error message confusing because eslint-plugin-vue has not supported ESLint 6 yet.

Does the error disappear after you remove vue related settings?

[francoism90]

@mysticatea Unfortunately no:

$ cat .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
  'env': {
    'browser': true,
    'es6': true
  },
  'extends': [
    'standard'
  ],
  'globals': {
    'Atomics': 'readonly',
    'SharedArrayBuffer': 'readonly'
  },
  'parserOptions': {
    'ecmaVersion': 2018,
    'sourceType': 'module'
  },
  'rules': {
  }
}

$ yarn run eslint --print-config .
yarn run v1.16.0
$ /home/user/www/project/node_modules/.bin/eslint --print-config .

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 6.0.0.
ESLint couldn't find a configuration file. To set up a configuration file for this project, please run:

    eslint --init

ESLint looked for configuration files in /home/user/www and its ancestors. If it found none, it then looked in your home directory.

I have a similar problem, despite having proper packages in place:

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 6.0.0.
ESLint couldn't find the config "airbnb" to extend from. Please check that the name of the config is correct.
