nrlint: require("./.nrlintrc.js") makes settings.js fail

[Stwissel]

Current Behavior

Followed the instructions:

npm install nrlint --save
npx nrlint --init > .nrlintrc.js

added into module.exports of settings.js:

 nrlint: require("./.nrlintrc.js"),

node-red fails with error "Can't read settings.js"

Expected Behavior

Proper startup or update of instructions

Interim remedy found: copy content of .nrlintrc.js into settings.js:

nrlint: {
    "align-to-grid": true,
    "max-flow-size": true,
    "no-duplicate-http-in-urls": true,
    "no-loops": true,
    "no-overlapping-nodes": true,
    "no-unconnected-http-nodes": true,
    "no-unnamed-functions": true,
    "no-unnamed-links": true,
    "function-eslint": {
      config: {
        env: {
          es2021: true,
        },
        extends: "eslint:recommended",
        parserOptions: {
          ecmaVersion: 12,
        },
        rules: {},
      },
    },
  },

I'm not able to reproduce this. The generated nrlintrc file can be required without problem in my settings file.

What do you get if you run node settings.js in your .node-red directory?

agghhh my bad.

I had .nrlintrc.js in the project root. Once moved to .node-red it worked as designed. suggest to mention in the readme.md npx nrlint --init > .node-red/.nrlintrc.js, since most rc style files tend to live in the root.

Love your work
