Parsing error: Cannot read file '.../tsconfig.json'.eslint
By default, the projects (in parserOptions) are resolved relative to the current working directory. If you run eslint in a different working directory to the folder containing tsconfig.json, @typescript-eslint/parser will not be able to locate the file.
To fix this, you can set tsconfigRootDir to __dirname, which would make the parser resolve the project configuration relative to .eslintrc.js:
module.exports = { // ... parserOptions: { project: "tsconfig.json", tsconfigRootDir: __dirname, sourceType: "module", }, // ...}
A VSCode-specific approach, that worked for me was to create a .vscode folder in the root project directory and add the following property to the settings.json file inside it:
{ "eslint.workingDirectories": [ "src" ]}The "src" could be any directory, which should be in eslint's scope.
Update your eslintrc.json file with the following line:
"project": "PROJECT_NAME/tsconfig.json"
with PROJECT_NAME being the name of your project (not a macro).
