Configuration

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue, as well as the command that you used to run ESLint.

module.exports = {
  env: {
    browser: true,
    commonjs: true,
    es6: true
  },
  extends: [
    'standard',
    'plugin:vue/recommended',
    'prettier',
    'prettier/babel',
    'prettier/standard',
    'prettier/vue'
  ],
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 2018,
    sourceType: 'module'
  },
  plugins: ['babel', 'prettier', 'standard', 'vue'],
  rules: { 'prettier/prettier': 'error' }
};

$ cd /home/user/www/project && yarn run eslint --print-config .

What did you expect to happen? Printing config

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint. Looks in upper path instead of current.

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 6.0.0.
ESLint couldn't find a configuration file. To set up a configuration file for this project, please run:

    eslint --init

ESLint looked for configuration files in /home/user/www and its ancestors.

Project path is located at /home/user/www/project.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug? No, sorry.

Since v4.1.0, ESLint has supported glob-based configuration. So --print-config with a directory path doesn’t make sense anymore. Configurations are not per directory.

And the document says requiring a file path and print the configuration for linting the given file. I think that the solution is a better error message when a directory path was given.

I have a similar problem, despite having proper packages in place:

ESLint couldn't find the config "airbnb" to extend from. Please check that the name of the config is correct.
