No config found even though one is passed

[treymerkley]

What version of textlint are you using?
v11.2.1

What file type (Markdown, plain text, etc.) are you using?
Org-mode, but I specify the extension in my config and is unrelated to my issue.

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.
I ran the command textlint --config ~/.textlintrc ~/Homework/Spring\ 2019/Linux\ Workstation\ and\ Server\ OS/Module4Assignment.org.
What did you expect to happen?
Textlint to either lint the file and output the errors or say that no errors were found.
What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from textlint.

== No rules found, textlint hasn’t done anything ==

Possible reasons:
* Your textlint config file has no rules.
* You have no config file and you aren’t passing rules via command line.
* Your textlint config has a syntax error.

It's worth noting that the repo mentioned does not have a textlintcache file, it's just the directory I happened to be in at the time.

EDIT:

{
    "rules": {
        "write-good": true
        "no-start-duplicated-conjunction": true
        "max-comma": true

    }
    "plugins": {
        "@textlint/text": {
            "extensions": [".org"]
	}
    }
}

Here's my config.

configFile: undefined,

Fmm, Debug output say that does not found .textlintrc.

I found that your .textlinrc file is invalid syntax as JSON file.My error

It very well could be, I'm not very heavy as a JS guy, but if it is, it's that there's a problem with a language intricacy, not an unmatched paren or something like that.

Well, , is missing?

Good catch, but I added it in and no dice.

I know this is old. In case it helps, I found that error was being given to me because I had a rule in my textlintrc that was in a package I had not installed. What I did was:

1. Generate the default textlintrc as explained in : https://github.com/textlint/textlint#usage . In the textlint directory I did npx textlint --init.
2. Verify I could run with this .textlintrc.json
3. Compare with my textlintr, find where they differed, locate culprit.
