Steps to reproduce

Using yarn link to add a local package folder to node_modules results in es-lint checking the .eslintrc in the package directory.

What is expected?

No errors

What is actually happening?

Project directory: /Users/wellcaffeinated/Documents/github/minutelabsio/what-is-a-day

using yarn link to add "frames.js" directory.

When importing the module into a .vue file, i get this error:

Module build failed (from ./node_modules/@vue/cli-plugin-eslint/node_modules/eslint-loader/index.js):
Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-config-standard'

You may use special comments to disable some warnings.
Use // eslint-disable-next-line to ignore the next line.
Use /* eslint-disable */ to ignore all warnings in a file.

Tried "no-eslintrc": true in eslintConfig. No effect.
Tried adding node_modules to .eslintignore. No effect.
Want to disable eslint's checking of the node_modules directory

[wellcaffeinated]

Workaround:

// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  configureWebpack: {
    resolve: { symlinks: false }
  }
}

So it's not a bug in Vue CLI. It's by design (of webpack).

[wellcaffeinated]

Maybe so, but I think vue CLI might want to set this option by default. I was banging my head against the desk for a while before I figured this out. Seems like a normal use-case, and there's no reason eslint should be checking node_modules for further configuration

[haoqunjiang]

See #2409

Thanks!
This worked for me!

resolve: {
        symlinks: false,
    },
