What did you expect to happen? I expected the node modules to install correctly. What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint. Eslint failed to correctly install dependencies as seen at the bottom of this output:

Workaround The AirBnB style guide for standard javascript is actually eslint-config-airbnb-base, the one used by the wizard is for react. So I swapped out that package and chose the versions of the decencies that would work (with either react or standard AirBnB).

Initialized package.json:

    "eslint-config-airbnb": "^12.0.0",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.0.0",
    "eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y": "^2.2.3",

Updated package.json:

    "eslint-config-airbnb-base": "^8.0.0",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^1.16.0",
    "eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y": "^2.2.2",

This is so broken it’s not even funny.

This has been broken for soo long now, are there any other close match standards that just works? Eslint seemed nice but it’s split out in so many packages that this really is becoming a pain to setup.
