React 16 lifecycle errors appearing in a React 15 project

I’m getting react/no-deprecated componentWillReceiveProps errors in a React 15 project 😢

• Build log: https://travis-ci.org/swagger-api/swagger-ui/builds/378016142#L506
• react@15.6.2, eslint-plugin-react@^7.1.0

We have faced same error messages with react 16.2. Adding react version to .eslintrc file fixed the problem.

{
...
  "settings": {
    "react": {
      "version": "16.2.0"
    },
  }
...
}

Thanks @ljharb, I wasn’t aware of the pragma setting!

From my perspective, having my linter (and therefore, my build) break due to a changing default in this plugin was not a fun thing to discover. I do see that the plugin documents its changing default React target version (React version, default to the latest React stable release).

Perhaps a warning if a pragma is not present would provide a better experience than finding out the hard way when something like this happens?
