'import/parsers' setting breaks my editor linter (VS Code)

[JustJarethB]

Hi Friends,

I am trying to use the rule 'import/no-unused-modules': [2, { unusedExports: true }] which, from research, requires the following eslintrc config:

  settings: {
    'import/parsers': {
      '@typescript-eslint/parser': ['.ts', '.tsx'],
    },
    'import/resolver': {
      node: true,
      typescript: true,
    },
  },

However, when I add the 'import/parsers' setting, the editor lint plugin seems to stops reporting anything. Does anyone know what the cause for this is, and how to resolve it?
This is the lint plugin log:

[Info  - 15:46:02] ESLint server is starting.
[Info  - 15:46:02] ESLint server running in node v16.14.2
[Info  - 15:46:02] ESLint server is running.

No ESLint configuration (e.g .eslintrc) found for file: [...]/src/ui/apps/webtrader/.eslintrc.js
File will not be validated. Consider running 'eslint --init' in the workspace folder ui
Alternatively you can disable ESLint by executing the 'Disable ESLint' command.

@JounQin is this the breaking change you were referencing?

I don't think so, that commit has not been released yet.

Yep. Getting exactly the same thing here.

No ESLint configuration (e.g .eslintrc) found for file: .../src/file.ts
File will not be validated. Consider running 'eslint --init' in the workspace folder backend
Alternatively you can disable ESLint by executing the 'Disable ESLint' command.

To add to that a little:

• Node 20.12.0 & 18.13.0
• VS Code, Webstorm & Cursor all have the same issue: IDE doesn't work, but running lint commands in CLI does work

I had the following rules activated from eslint-plugin-import

"import/no-empty-named-blocks": "error",
"import/no-named-as-default": "error",
"import/no-unused-modules": [1, {"unusedExports": true}],
"import/no-unassigned-import": "error",

I went through one-by-one and identified this as causing this issue

"import/no-unused-modules": [1, {"unusedExports": true}],

plugins:

    ...,
    "extends": [
        "eslint:recommended",
        "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
