linter: Failed to load JS plugin

[skovhus]

What version of Oxlint are you using?

1.22.0

What command did you run?

oxlint

What does your .oxlintrc.json config file look like?

{
  "jsPlugins": ["./tools/plugin.js"],
  "rules": {
    "my-custom-plugin/no-switch": "error"
  }
}

What happened?

I tried testing out the new JS plugin. I can get it to work on a simple hello world example, but it fails inside our repository to lookup the JS plugin file. One workaround is to specify an absolute path, then it works. 🤔

I'm on Mac OS.

Testing with having the plugin.js folder next to .oxlintrc.json, but also having it in a sub-folder. It always fails with:

Failed to parse configuration file.

  × Failed to load JS plugin: ./tools/plugin.js
  │   Cannot find module './tools/plugin.js'

I'm still trying to reproduce outside our repository...

Sorry to hear your first try of JS plugins is an unmitigated failure!

Is your repo ESM or CommonJS? (i.e. does the nearest package.json above .oxlintrc.json have a type field?)

[skovhus]

It's CommonJS... Without any type field in the package.json (which is next to the .oxlintrc.json file). Note that we also have nested .oxlintrc.json file extending from the root.

Yikes this might be the issue.

EDIT: yep i reproduced this in #14556
