.eslintcache constantly generated

[idbd1]

Is there a way of disabling .eslintcache generation? I'm struggling to find the answer in the documentation.

Same... This just started happening to me today.

Same for me as well. Couldn't find the answer anywhere else.

It's part of v4, I think. There's a PR to have it moved into the node_modules folder, which I believe is consistent with some other caches.

It's there to help speed up the linting during both development runs and production builds. It can mostly be ignored, but I don't think there's any way to disable it right now.

adding it to the .gitignore file only disables its tracking. The file is annoying me and i want to get rid of this.
Its still keep generating.

This cache file dependency is not only annoying, but it's also a hurdle in trying to deploy the application as a non-root user in a container. Here's the related StackOverflow thread.

I think it should be be put into node_modules/.cache/.eslintcache so it's out of sight like other caches (e.g. babel's).

This file is generated with react-scripts 4.0.1. If you change the version to 4.0.0 you won't have this issue for now. This might get changed in a future release.

Update:

It has now started to cause compile errors as well:

EBUSY: resource busy or locked, open 'C:\Users\Oscar\source\repos\<>\ClientApp\.eslintcache'

Original:

eslint --cache false should work but I don't know how to inject that. I saw nothing about this under Configuring ESLint or Create React App Custom Environment Variables

https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring

https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-custom-environment-variables/

https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/command-line-interface#options

You could also specify another cache location if you find a way to inject the command:

--cache-location
Path to the cache location. Can be a file or a directory. If none specified .eslintcache will be used. The file will be created in the directory where the eslint command is executed.
