ESLint couldn't find the plugin "eslint-plugin-@typescript-eslint"

Question

I'm not sure if there's a bug with something I'm using or whether I've just set something up wrong here, but I'm getting this error from eslint when running eslint src --fix about "eslint-plugin-@typescript-eslint"

I've specified the plugin as listed in the @TypeScript-eslint docs but I'm getting this weird error where eslint is trying to add 'eslint-plugin-' to the start of the plugin name (the package name is @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin)

I'm using Gatsby and the accompanying TypeScript plugin.

Error

$ eslint src --fix  Oops! Something went wrong! :(  ESLint: 4.19.1. ESLint couldn't find the plugin "eslint-plugin-@typescript-eslint". This can happen for a couple different reasons:  1. If ESLint is installed globally, then make sure eslint-plugin-@typescript-eslint is also installed globally. A globally-installed ESLint cannot find a locally-installed plugin.  2. If ESLint is installed locally, then it's likely that the plugin isn't installed correctly. Try reinstalling by running the following:      npm i eslint-plugin-@typescript-eslint@latest --save-dev

Answer 1

Solution was simply to upgrade to the latest version of eslint

Answer 2

Not sure if it's still not resolved. But adding "root": true to my .eslintrc.json helped me.
