eslint won't update past v4.5.0, “Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-config-google'”












0















I had an old version of eslint:



eslint -v
v4.5.0


To update eslint I ran:



npm install -g eslint


The response said that eslint@5.9.0 had been installed successfully. Following the instructions in the documentation in my project root I ran



eslint --init


I selected the Google style guide. The install said



The style guide "google" requires eslint@>=5.4.0. You are currently using eslint@4.5.0.
Do you want to upgrade? (Y/n)


That seemed odd, as I'd just installed 5.9.0, but I said Yes. The response said that the installation was successful:



Successfully created .eslintrc.json file in /Users/TDK/LanguageTwo
ESLint was installed locally. We recommend using this local copy instead of your globally-installed copy.


Then I ran



eslint -v
v4.5.0


I checked echo $PATH and didn't see anything like eslintvm locking in an old version.



I tried to lint a file and got this error message:



Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-config-google'


eslint v5.9.0 is now installed locally in my project root and I can see eslint-config-google in the node modules. eslint 5.9.0 is installed globally. My guess is that the "missing" eslint-config-google is because my computer is still running eslint v4.5.0. I restarted my computer. What is keeping eslint at v4.5.0?

  • This morning I ran eslint -v and it said v5.9.0, apparently multiple computer restarts were required. I still have the error message "Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-config-google'".

I used find . -name 'eslint' to remove every copy of eslint from every directoty. npm uninstall -g eslint didn't remove every module. Then I reinstalled eslint and ran eslint init. Now it's at v5.9.0. It still has the error



Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-config-google'


I don't know what's causing this problem.
