How to remove ESlint error no-unresolved from importing 'react'

no-unresolved https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/blob/master/docs/rules/no-unresolved.md

After installing eslint-import-resolver-webpack

My .eslintrc config

{
  "extends": "airbnb",
  "rules": {
    "comma-dangle": ["error", "never"],
    "semi": ["error", "always"],
    "react/jsx-filename-extension": 0,
    "react/prop-types": 0,
    "react/no-find-dom-node": 0,
    "jsx-a11y/label-has-for": 0
  },
  "globals": {
    "document": true,
    "window": true
  },
  "env": {
    "jest": true
  },
  "settings": {
    "import/resolver": "webpack"
  }
}

You can add an option to ignore case:

"rules": {
   "import/no-unresolved": [
      2, 
      { "caseSensitive": false }
   ]
}

This thread at github also describes how the linter was checking case for parts of the path which come before the folder containing package.json. If you for example have the path: C:/Workspace/app and you navigate to it using cd C:/workspace/app (lowercase workspace), the linter would also give an error on the imports. Looks like it should now be fixed, but perhaps you are still using an older version.
