Error: Cannot find module 'eslint'

[programmist]

I'm getting the following error when I try to run ESLint within Sublime 3.

module.js:472
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'eslint'

[cmd: ['node', '/Users/userx/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/ESLint/linter.js', '/Users/userx/workspace/react/first-app/src/App.js', '', '']]
[dir: /Users/userx/workspace/react/first-app/src]
[path: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/go/bin]

Steps to Reproduce:

• npm install -g eslint
• Install ESLint ST3 plugin
• Add Setting: "node_path": "/usr/local/bin"
• Add Setting: "node_modules_path": "/usr/local/lib/node_modules"
• Open JS file in ST3
• Right-click->ESLint

System:

• OS X 10.12.2
• node 7.5.0 (also tried on 5.7.x)
• eslint 3.16.0
• sublime-text-eslint 4.0.0

This may be a regression of #2, but unfortunately the discussion in that issue did not help me.

Thank you.

Maybe your node_modules pass does not match. You can check your global node_modules path by

$ npm root -g

command. and try set your sublime eslint's "node_modules_path" to displayed path.

[programmist]

Thank you. I checked both both paths before setting them in Sublime. When I run npm root -g I get /usr/local/lib/node_modules, which is what I have set for node_modules_path.

[polygonplanet]

Does the following command output something in your environment? or empty?

$ echo $NODE_PATH

[jkirkwood]

The latest versions of node and npm no longer add the global node_modules directory to $NODE_PATH. See this.

Could this package be updated to use the eslint binary installed by npm install eslint -g directly? It looks like this is how the sublime-jshint package handles this.

[jkirkwood]

Running npm link eslint in the Sublime ESLint package directory appears to provide a temporary workaround.

[programmist]

@polygonplanet Apologies, I'd forgotten to reply. My NODE_PATH env variable is not set.

$ echo $NODE_PATH

$

[polygonplanet]

@jkirkwood thanks for your hint! @programmist OK, As in nodejs document, if the following pass is valid, try setting "node_modules_path": "$HOME/.node_modules" etc.

1. $HOME/.node_modules
2. $HOME/.node_libraries
3. $PREFIX/lib/node

Or, try to set "node_modules_path": "", and enter following command in terminal:

cd YOUR_SUBLIME_ESLINT_PACKAGES_FOLDER
# example: cd /Users/userx/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/ESLint
npm link eslint

[programmist]

I'm good if you want to close this. Or let me know and I'll close it. Thanks for your help.

I just tried to install ESLint, and got the same error. Upon running npm link eslint in my ESLint package folder, I now get: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/eslint/lib/util/module-resolver.js:74 throw new Error(Cannot find module '${name}'\); ^

@mdaross-ha Did you install eslint npm install -g eslint ?

[mdaross-ha]

Yes, I did that before trying to install the plugin.

[jt3k]

same problem

[yinglinchen-minted]

I got same problem

[englishextra]

manually:

// C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\ESLint.sublime-settings
{
  "node_modules_path": "C:\\Users\\<USERNAME>\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules",
}

[polygonplanet]

If the problem is not solved yet, we want to know more detail. We close this issue once.

[codingdash]

If you're still facing issue after adding node_modules_path. Restart Sublime Text!

[charanjit-singh]

installing eslint and babel-eslint locally ( using --save option ) worked for me.

[ParikshitSarkar]

Running npm link eslint in the Sublime ESLint package directory appears to provide a temporary workaround.

Thanks ! :)
