@babel/eslint-parser @babel/eslint-plugin does not play nice with eslint-plugin-import

Bug Report

• I would like to work on a fix!

Current behavior @babel/eslint-parser throws error on parsing 3rd party libraries

Input Code

import moment from "moment";


export default moment();

throws error

ESLint: Parse errors in imported module 'moment': No Babel config file detected for ~/node_modules/moment/src/moment.js. Either disable config file checking with requireConfigFile: false, or configure Babel so that it can find the config files. (undefined:undefined)(import/namespace)

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen (or code).

I am having this same issue with errors being thrown in relation to the moment package. Adding

"parserOptions": {
	"requireConfigFile": false,
},

does not seem to do anything as well as adding the espree settings as stated above. Any ideas on what I can try?

[texonidas]

In my case it was solved with adding sections “parserOptions” and “babelOptions” to .eslintrc: "parser": "@babel/eslint-parser", "parserOptions": { "requireConfigFile" : "false" }, "babelOptions": { "configFile": "./.babelrc", },

For anyone else who lands here and gets an unexpected top-level property error, babelOptions goes in parserOptions, not at the root
