Babel ESLint: TypeError: Cannot read property 'range' of null

Question

I use babel-eslint to lint/fix my code. Worked great until I wanted to adopt some ES2017 async await found overhere.

I changed my React app accordingly, allbeit slightly different:

The relevant part of my index.js:

async function renderApp() {
  const store = await configureStore()

  const history = syncHistoryWithStore(browserHistory, store, {
    selectLocationState: state => state.get('routing')
  })

  ReactDOM.render(
    <AppContainer>
      <MuiThemeProvider muiTheme={muiTheme}>
        <Provider store={store}>
          <Router history={history} routes={routes(store)} />
        </Provider>
      </MuiThemeProvider>
    </AppContainer>,
    document.getElementById('root')
  )
}


renderApp()

My store:

// @flow

import 'babel-polyfill'

import { addFormSubmitSagaTo } from 'redux-form-submit-saga/es/immutable'
import { applyMiddleware, createStore, compose } from 'redux'
import { autoRehydrate, persistStore } from 'redux-persist-immutable'
import { browserHistory } from 'react-router'
import { combineReducers } from 'redux-immutable'
import { fromJS } from 'immutable'
import { routerMiddleware } from 'react-router-redux'
import createSagaMiddleware from 'redux-saga'

import rootReducer from './rootReducer'
import sagas from './rootSaga'

export default function configureStore() {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    try {
      const sagaMiddleware = createSagaMiddleware()
      const middleware = [ routerMiddleware(browserHistory), sagaMiddleware ]

      const enhancer = compose(
        autoRehydrate(),
        applyMiddleware(...middleware)
      )
      const store = createStore(
        combineReducers(rootReducer),
        undefined,
        enhancer
      )

      // Decorate with Redux Form Submit Saga
      // and create hook for saga's
      const rootSaga = addFormSubmitSagaTo(sagas)
      sagaMiddleware.run(rootSaga)

      // Persist store to the local storage
      persistStore(
        store,
        { whitelist: ['auth', 'timezone'] },
        () => resolve(store)
      )
    } catch (e) {
      reject(e)
    }
  })
}

Here's my .eslintrc:

{
  "env": {
    "browser": true,
    "jest/globals": true
  },
  "extends": [
    "standard",
    "standard-flow",
    "plugin:react/recommended"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "compat",
    "jest",
    "react"
  ],
  "parserOptions": {
    "ecmaVersion": 2017,
    "sourceType": "module",
    "ecmaFeatures": {
      "jsx": true
    }
  },
  "rules": {
    "comma-dangle": ["warn", "only-multiline"],
    "compat/compat": 2,
    "jest/no-disabled-tests": "warn",
    "jest/no-focused-tests": "error",
    "jest/no-identical-title": "error",
    "max-len": ["warn", 80],
    "no-debugger": 0,
    "react/jsx-uses-vars": [2]
  }
}

Here's my .babelrc:

{
  "plugins": [
    "react-hot-loader/babel",
    "syntax-flow",
    "tcomb",
    "transform-class-properties"
  ],
  "presets": [
    "es2015",
    "react",
    ["env", {
      "targets": {
        "browsers": ["last 2 versions"]
      }
    }]
  ]
}

But whatever I do: I keep getting the following error:

I'm not entirely sure what to do. I came accross multiple posts with similar problems, but none of these have lead to an answer until now.

Prior to ESLint supporting ES2017 async/await natively, babel-eslint included workarounds that were removed in [email protected]. You should either upgrade babel-eslint to v7 or, if you can't do that, use eslint-plugin-babel's patched generator-star-spacing rule.
