Configuration for rule 'no-useless-escape' is invalid

See original GitHub issue

I’ve installed airbnb-base in a project the exact same way I’ve installed it in a few other projects:

yarn add eslint-config-airbnb-base eslint eslint-plugin-import --dev

And I’m using the same .eslintrc config file that I’m using in a few other projects: here

But for some reason on this one project, after installing airbnb-base - I now get this error:

/Users/leftynaut/project/node_modules/eslint-config-airbnb-base/rules/best-practices.js: Configuration for rule "no-useless-escape" is invalid: Cannot read property 'Symbol(Symbol.iterator)' of undefined Referenced from: airbnb-base Referenced from: /Users/leftynaut/project/.eslintrc

I had a simple custom rule list beforehand that was working normally in this project. Any idea why this could have happened?

Doh, a dependency I added recently added an invalid shim. That bubbled up as the above error. Sorry about that, i’ve got it working now.

(btw your ignorePattern for max-len isn’t needed, since all imports are from strings, and ignoreStrings is on)
