eslint > 9 as peer dependency of eslint

[ritamcastro]

Hello,

We noticed that this plugin is now supporting the flat config and we tried it out.

We have started a clean eslint setup (following https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/getting-started) and got these dependencies in the package.json

"devDependencies": {
    "@eslint/js": "^9.9.1",
    "eslint": "^9.9.1",
    "globals": "^15.9.0",
    "typescript-eslint": "^8.4.0"
  }

When we tried to install the eslint-plugin-import we got the following error:

❯ npm i -D eslint-plugin-import
npm error code ERESOLVE
npm error ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm error
npm error While resolving: sandbox@1.0.0

Are there any plans to upgrade the peer dependency of this plugin to eslint >9?

Thank you very much! 🙏

Yes, see #2948.

Until then, you can’t use eslint 9 with this plugin.

Thanks a lot for the fast reply! 🙏

We did see that thread, but since the flat config came to play, we assumed that eslint 9 would also work. Out of curiosity, do you have any idea when v9 will be supported? Ball park it - next week, month, quarter, year?

Thanks for the support :)

eslint 8 is when flat config was added.

I have no timeline - but obviously as soon as it can be completed would be ideal.
