Use custom eslint config file in VSCode that is managed via Yarn

Question

I have eslint installed and running in VSCode, but it is not using our config file.

The settings I have changed are

{
  "eslint.nodePath": "C:\\Users\\PARAGON\\Documents\\AllCode\\ParagonCore\\clients\\utilities\\paragon-scripts\\node_modules",
  "eslint.options": {
    "configFile": "C:\\Users\\PARAGON\\Documents\\AllCode\\ParagonCore\\clients\\utilities\\paragon-scripts\\configuration\\.eslintrc.js",
  },
  "eslint.packageManager": "yarn",
}

UPDATE:

modified nodePath and fixed file path mistake

Failed to load plugin react: Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-react'
Happened while validating C:\Users\PARAGON\Documents\AllCode\ParagonCore\clients\job-grid\source\scripts\components\AssignToUser.jsx
This can happen for a couple of reasons:
1. The plugin name is spelled incorrectly in an ESLint configuration file (e.g. .eslintrc).
2. If ESLint is installed globally, then make sure 'eslint-plugin-react' is installed globally as well.
3. If ESLint is installed locally, then 'eslint-plugin-react' isn't installed correctly.

Consider running eslint --debug C:\Users\PARAGON\Documents\AllCode\ParagonCore\clients\job-grid\source\scripts\components\AssignToUser.jsx from a terminal to obtain a 
trace about the configuration files used.

Answer 1

First, make sure you do not have the package installed globally. Then, set "eslint.nodePath" to the location of your node_modules directory that is parallel to the configuration directory.

1. yarn global remove eslint
2. "eslint.nodePath": "C:/.../node_modules"
3. open some files and look for "ESLint library loaded from:" in the Output window
