@ljharb Thanks for the reply. I misunderstood the problem, and what appeared to work did not in fact persist after an Atom restart. My package.json does not have type: module, it’s just vanilla JS and we only use Node to install local packages such as eslint. I neither work with nor understand ESM modules, sorry 😃

My guess is that the way the imports plugin is imported changes some parser (?) to expect modules (?). https://github.com/airbnb/javascript/blob/d8cb404da74c302506f91e5928f30cc75109e74d/packages/eslint-config-airbnb-base/rules/imports.js#L1-L11

So my new workaround is to just disable those rules in index.js

module.exports = {
  extends: [
    './rules/best-practices',
    './rules/errors',
    './rules/node',
    './rules/style',
    './rules/variables',
    './rules/es6',
    // './rules/imports',
    './rules/strict',
  ].map(require.resolve),
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 2018,
    sourceType: 'module',
  },
  rules: {},
};

Additionally, this bug seems related: https://github.com/AtomLinter/linter-eslint/issues/1448

Yes, the airbnb config absolutely expects that you are authoring ESM and using babel to transpile it. If you’re not doing so, you either have to override a bunch of configuration things, or, you shouldn’t be using the airbnb config at all.
