Don't get import/order to work correctly with import aliases

No matter what I try, I don’t get the import/order plugin to work as expected.

These are the imports, and they are already ordered as expected:

import classNames from 'classnames';
import * as React from 'react';

import { I18N } from '@context/i18n';
import { SVGIcon } from '@ui';
import * as Utils from '@utils';

import * as styles from './styles.scss';

Anyhow, the rule complains about:

classnames import should occur after import of @utils react import should occur after import of @utils

classnames and react are located in node_modules Everything starting with @ indicates an import alias (so I assume they should be interpreted as internal).

My eslint configuration looks like this:

{
	settings: {
		'import/parsers': {
			'@typescript-eslint/parser': ['.ts', '.tsx']
		},
		'import/internal-regex': '^@'
	},
	rules:  {
		'import/order': ['error', {
			'alphabetize': { order: 'asc', caseInsensitive: true },
			'groups': ['builtin', 'unknown', 'external', 'internal', 'parent', 'sibling', 'index'],
			'newlines-between': 'always'
		}]
	}
}

I’ve played around since multiple hours now, but don’t get the expected result. The only thing which happens is, that it sometimes say that @utils should occur before classnames, and sometimes it says classnames should occur after @utils …

What have I missed?

I did a bit of debugging and figured out that, at least in my case, imports for ququmber-ui (the local package) are being skipped because ququmber-ui is considered external and pathGroupsExcludedImportTypes defaults to ["builtin", "external"].

My fix "pathGroupsExcludedImportTypes": [] Hope this helps you @jens-duttke.

I don’t import/require npm packages starting with an @, so there is no collision. Beside that, I’ve just tested to replace @ by ~ (which is not a valid character in npm package names), but the exact same problem still occurs:

classnames import should occur after import of ~utils [Error/import/order] react import should occur after import of ~utils [Error/import/order]
