Trouble building react-webapp with ESLint; ESLint couldn't find the config "developit" to extend from

Question

My react app works as normal using npm start , but when I try npm run build I got trouble.

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 6.8.0.

ESLint couldn't find the config "developit" to extend from. Please check that the name of the config is correct.

The config "developit" was referenced from the config file in "/home/user/beregning-innsikt/beregning-innsikt-webapp/src/main/webapp/node_modules/@babel/preset-modules/package.json".

If you still have problems, please stop by https://gitter.im/eslint/eslint to chat with the team.

The Babel config file contains this:

 "eslintConfig": {
    "extends": "developit",
    "rules": {
      "no-console": 0,
      "new-cap": 0
    }
  }, 

I have tried node v 13.7.0 and 14.1.0. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Seems like it is linting node_modules too

To fix this you can create file .eslintignore in your root directory and add node_modules/ folder to your eslintignore file
