Linting not working when using babel-eslint on Sublime Text 3

Question

I am trying to get babel-eslint to work on Sublime 3. I have installed:

• eslint and babel-eslint globally on npm
• SublimeLinter package on Sublime
• SublimeLinter-contrib-eslint package on Sublime

Also, I have added: "syntax_map": { ... "JavaScript (Babel)": "javascript" } to my SublimeLinter.sublime-settings file.

When I run the linter with "parser": "espree" on my .eslintrc file it works fine. But when I change the parser to babel-eslint it stops working.

I tried to follow the tutorial here: https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/lint-like-it-s-2015-6987d44c5b48 and I seem to be doing everything correctly.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Except what was in mentioned tutorial, what helped me was:

• upgrade global / local eslint to latest version
• install babel-eslint locally
• if you are using any eslint plugins, it appears they must be also installed locally (eslint-plugin-react in my case)
• as Dalgard mentioned you can also enable debug mode in Sublime eslint to find out what else can be wrong, i.e. incompatible versions or corrupted config.

I hope some of this will help.
