If you think this is a bug in `standardx`, open an issue: https://github.com/standard/standardx/issues

What did you expect to happen?

To run the autofixer.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug?

I'm not familiar with the code, so I don't think I could.

ping? I'm also seeing this, with a similar setup.

The standard tool itself works without such an error.

Apparently the error comes from the fact that ESLint v6 now demands that all plugins are installed locally as seen here and here. Replacing the eslint package in standardx/node_modules with eslint@5.16.0 and reverting to ecmaVersion: 2019 in standardx/node_modules/eslint-config-standard/eslintrc.json and standardx/node_modules/eslint-config-standard-jsx/eslintrc.json fixed it for me. Not the ideal solution but at least I can use my customizations now.

@ManuelFte @indigoviolet In the meantime of that wrong configuration of eslint, I could resolve fallback of version 3.0.0 of standardx.

yarn add standardx@3.0.0 @typescript-eslint/parser @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin -D

That's all

Extra tip:

I was having some problems with paths, etc.. so I ended to add a script to my package.json file.

scripts: {
  "fix-lints" : "standardx src/**/*.ts src/**/*.tsx --fix",
   ...
}

and finally, just be sure that you are importing the rest of configurations that are described here

That's it, then It's working as I expected. :)

This is still an issue, we should look into fixing this with the eslint @ 7 upgrade. I think eslint @ 7 is supposed to fix this,

cc @LinusU who's got the eslint7 PR.

[JeffSpies]

Still an issue for me:

"@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^3.0.1",
"@typescript-eslint/parser": "^3.0.1",
"eslint": "^7.1.0",
"standardx": "^5.0.0"

[Raynos]

I think resolve plugins relative to is supposed to help with this maybe :(

@Jero786 standardx 3.0.0 uses ES 2018, so you still have to change the version numbers as I had mentioned in order to use at least ES 2019. Hopefully this issue is fixed soon because ES 2020 has just been released.

[JeffSpies]

I tried with another a new project and am hitting the same problem. So is it the case that no one is using latest standardx to add typescript support to standard?

[Raynos]

I used standardx 3.0.0 because reasons :(

I got this issue today and solved it by installing the following packages:

npm install eslint --save-dev
npm install eslint-config-standard --save-dev
npm install eslint-config-standard-jsx --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-react --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-import --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-node --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-promise --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-standard --save-dev

This worked for me, but I didn't need all these packages (it's dependent on your setup). Running
./node_modules/.bin/eslint <SOME_FILE>
will cause it to tell you what libraries you are missing (although you will have to do this multiple times.
