ESLint not throwing any errors from npm command

Question

Below is the configuration setup for eslint . Trying to define a basic eslint rule to define const instead of let if its an array or object

"scripts": {
  "lint": "eslint src/**/*.js --fix"
}

.eslintrc

"rules": {
    "strict": [2, "never"],
    "prefer-const": 2
}

vscode referring to .eslintrc file for the rule defined on prefer-const and throwing error in ide as below which is perfectly fine

But npm run lint is not giving any error on the same nor fixing the code

Attaching the folder structure below where eslintrc is located What is missing in my script?

Answer 1

Your config file name should be .eslintrc.json .

Here's the reference documentation you can check: https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring

Also attaching a link to deprecation notice for .eslintrc file without extension: https://dev.to/ohbarye/eslintrc-without-file-extension-is-deprecated-3ngg

Try changing your config file name and it should work.
