Errors when running on elint.config.mjs

[vicary]

My project is not ESM ready, therefore I have to use the .mjs extension to let only eslint use ESM.

The analyzer fails to pick up the config file, but fails with an irrelevant error message.

You can also run this command directly using 'npx @eslint/config-inspector' in the same directory as your configuration file.

Note that `@eslint/config-inspector` only works with the flat config format:

Is it possible to support eslint.config.mjs?

Can you share a minimal reproduction? Thanks

@antfu It turns out to be a unique combination of seemingly unrelated issues, please checkout this minrep https://github.com/vicary/eslint-config-inspector-mjs

All of the followings must be true to trigger this bug:

1. Use eslint.config.mjs instead of eslint.config.js
2. import @eslint/eslintrc in the file
3. Add a tsconfig.json with a path of * pointing to anywhere

I am not sure how does tsconfig.json affects the require path of eslint.config.mjs, but it seems to be the culprit.

[antfu]

Why you are having "*": ["node_modules/*"] - it looks problematic to me. The config inspector use bundle-require to import the config file, which is powered by esbuild and respects your tsconfig.json. I would try to see if it's possible to disable tsconfig looking up - but I am not sure if your tsconfig.json is correct in the mean time

It is for a specific issue when the project root contains a directory with the same name as one of those inside node_modules.

When we have node_modules/graphql/ installed, our graphql/index.ts would break at the following import statement because the bare module identifier resolves to itself.

import * as graphql from "graphql";
