Answer 1

To add some context to the answer by @sai, to resolve this eslint error all I had to do was install eslint-plugin-cypress from here.

npm install eslint-plugin-cypress --save-dev

Then, in my eslint config I added one line to my extends array.

Your config could be .eslintrc.json or the "eslintConfig" configuration object in your package.json

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:cypress/recommended"
  ]
}
