eslint-plugin-html installed globally doesnt seem to work

[aponad]

Hi, Using eslint-plugin-html locally it works fine, but if I try to install it globally eslint cannot find it.

Local install:

▶ ./node_modules/.bin/eslint app.vue    

/tmp/2/app.vue
  16:14  error  Parsing error: Unexpected identifier

✖ 1 problem (1 error, 0 warnings)

{
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "babel-eslint": "^4.1.4",
    "eslint": "^1.8.0",
    "eslint-config-airbnb": "^0.1.0",
    "eslint-plugin-html": "^1.1.0",
    "eslint-plugin-react": "^3.7.1"
  }
}

Global install:

▶ eslint app.vue                        
module.js:339
    throw err;
    ^

Thank you for the report. Sadly, I can't reproduce your issue. Did you try to reinstall eslint and eslint-plugin-html ? Can you require("eslint-plugin-html"); when you execute nodejs in a directory without local node_modules?

This plugin is really straightforward and doesn't do anything fancy, it should work the same way other plugins do.

Hi, Thanks for your time, as it turned out my NODE_PATH was incorrect. Works like a charm now.

I also installed eslint-plugin-html globally. What do you mean your NODE_PATH was incorrect?

[aponad]

@intcreator echo $NODE_PATH on Debian/Ubuntu it usually should be /usr/lib/node_modules
