Suggested Changes

Related to#6826 and its PR#6919, I'm still getting the error, and still don't know what approach to take.

I tried the suggested "popular setup..." and ended up with the following:

.eslintrc.cjs

/* eslint-env node */module.exports={extends:['eslint:recommended','plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended',],parser:'@typescript-eslint/parser',parserOptions:{project:true,tsconfigRootDir:'.',},plugins:['@typescript-eslint'],root:true,rules:{"semi":["error","always"]},overrides:[{extends:['plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-requiring-type-checking',],files:['./**/*.{ts,tsx}'],},],};

tsconfig.json

{"compilerOptions": {"target":"es5","module":"commonjs","outDir":"out","strictNullChecks":true    },}

package.json

{"type":"commonjs","devDependencies": {"@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin":"^5.59.2","@typescript-eslint/parser":"^5.59.2","eslint":"^8.39.0","typescript":"^5.0.4"  }}

Did I misunderstand something in the// ... the rest of your config ... part of the CJS file?

You can see in the screenshot my .eslintr.cjs, and a foo.js in the out dir, are affected:

Maybe I'm not the right audience for this "Getting Started": I've had some success getting ESLint configured for some JavaScript development I've done (and will continue to do), and I just decide to take the plunge and try and port a small codebase to TypeScript and I wanted the comfort and security I've gotten with ESLint over in JS-Land, which lead me to this Getting Started.

Sincerely, and thank you.
