"YAMLException: Cannot read config file: .eslintrc"

(using npm v3.3.12 in win10 x64) Today I updated from v2.0.0 to eslint v2.1.0.

I have the following .eslintrc (which I have generated using the new --init parameter) : (located in C:\Users\Kostas)

If you want to use a JavaScript format for your configuration file, then you need to name it .eslintrc.js.

You mentioned that you used --init to create this file, did you rename it or was it created this way?

(Also, there were some bugs in --init that we fixed in v2.1.0, so can you try upgrading to see if you can create a correct config?)

the ghost issue bit me today. I tried re-name, re-edit, it still read an error version which I put false in place of 0.

Please ignore! But I will still log it here just in case someone get into a really really edge case like here.
The error here is actually a eslint-loader error bundled in webpack bundles js. This happens only in karma test stdout which have both CLI output and JS runtime output. I supposed to rebuild the dependency after I change eslintrc.
