Doesn't work in VS Code when project is in a subfolder

[julius-retzer]

Hello, I tried this plugin. It works in the terminal, but it crashes in VS Code.

The error:

Uncaught exception received.
TypeError: Cannot read config file: projectPath/node_modules/eslint-config-auto/index.js
Error: Cannot destructure property 'packageJson' of 'readPkgUp.sync(...)' as it is undefined.

This is my config:

{
  "extends": [
    "auto"
  ]
}

And these are the used packages:

Looks like an issue in a dependency, can you delete node_modules and reinstall

@davidjbradshaw that didn't help. It looks that the error is in this snippet here in eslint-config-auto/lib/utilsjs:

I think I solved the problem. The problem was that our next app was in a subdirectory. VS Code eslint was running in the top directory, so it couldn't find the package.json.

The solution is to add this to .vscode/settings.json (client is the subfolder where eslint should run).

{
    "eslint.workingDirectories": [
        "./client"
    ]
}

Glad you worked it out. It would be great if you could add that tip to the docs-- Sent from my iPhone.
