Dealing with "Failed to load plugin 'react' declared in '.eslintrc': Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-react'" ESLint error


Recently I updated my react project using "create-react-app" (React 16.9)
Everything worked just OK before the update, but suddenly I get following ESLint error: (In the output tab)

 [Error - 16:42:12] 
Failed to load plugin 'react' declared in 'client\.eslintrc': Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-react'
Require stack:
- C:\Or\Web\VisualizationTool\VisualizationTool\__placeholder__.js
Referenced from: C:\Or\Web\VisualizationTool\VisualizationTool\client\.eslintrc
Happened while validating C:\Or\Web\VisualizationTool\VisualizationTool\client\src\hoc\Layout\Layout.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.

My .eslintrc file:

{
    "env": {
        "browser": true,
        "commonjs": true,
        "es6": true,
        "node": true
    },
    "extends": [
        "react-app",
        "eslint:recommended",
        "plugin:react/recommended"

    },

        "react"
    ],
    "rules": {
        "quotes": [

            "single",
            {

            }
        ],

            }
        ],

        "linebreak-style": 0,
        "import/first": 0,
        "import/imports-first": 0,
        "no-shadow": 0,
        "disable-next-line": 0,
        "no-case-declarations": 0,
    }
}

I have both ESLint and eslint-plugin-react installed both globally and locally, anything else I am missing here?


Solution

  • Found it.
    1. Keep only the "eslint:recommended" in the "extends" section. Remove all others.
    2. Removed the "plugins" section.
    3. Restart the VSCode.
    4. Works like a charm!

    My updated .eslintrc file looks like this:

    {
        "extends": "eslint:recommended",
        "env": {
            "browser": true,

            "node": true,
            "es6": true
        },

        "parserOptions": {

        },
