Problems with loading .eslintrc

[theteladras]

There seems to be an issue with loading the .eslintrc file:

Cannot read config file: /Users/sh/projects/tests/delete_me/.eslintrc.js Error: require() of ES Module
/Users/sh/projects/tests/delete_me/.eslintrc.js from
/Users/sh/projects/tests/delete_me/node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/dist/eslintrc.cjs not supported. Instead change the
require of .eslintrc.js in /Users/sh/projects/tests/delete_me/node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/dist/eslintrc.cjs to a dynamic
import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

ESlint related dependency versions:

In order to reproduce this issue, you can just initialise a Svelte project with having the eslint / prettier enabled, by running this:
npm init svelte@next.

PS project type set to module.

ESLint does not yet support ESM config files.

This is a problem in create-svelte. I can confirm that npm init svelte@next currently creates an ESM eslint config file, but that has already been reverted in sveltejs/kit#5293 (though, it seems that the update isn't published yet).

In the meantime, you can manually convert the config file to CJS and rename it to .eslintrc.cjs.

We expect that the new flat config system we're working on (eslint/eslint#13481) will support ESM config files.

Closing, as there is no task to do here.
