Can not read config file correctly in a subdirectory!

[beginor]

I have a client folder in my project, which contains all client files like ( node_modules,.eslintrc.json), project structor is

• client/.eslintrc.json client root eslint config, which loads client/tsconfig.json
• client/projects/web/.eslintrc.json eslint config for project web , which loads client/projects/web/tsconfig.app.json
• client/projects/handset/.eslintrc.json eslint config for project handset , which loads client/projects/handset/tsconfig.app.json

when I open file client/projects/web/src/main.ts, I got an error from eslint

Parsing error: Cannot read file '~/net-core-app/projects/web/tsconfig.app.json'. eslint

But the correct path should be ~/net-core-app/client/projects/web/tsconfig.app.json

And my project is here https://github.com/beginor/net-core-app

@beginor does the validation happen correctly when you use eslint in the terminal (e.g. using the workspace folder as the current cwd and executing eslint client/projects/web/src/main.ts. If this is the case can you please provide me with a GitHub repository I can clone that demos what you are experiencing.

[beginor]

The repository is here https://github.com/beginor/net-core-app , after clone it, just open the root folder with vscode, do not open as workspace, and change to client folder, run npm i.

The root folder of the workspaceis not a nodejs project, there is no node_modules and .eslintrc.json in it, if I run eslint in the root folder, I can get the same error.

The client folder is an angular project, which is a nodejs project, so I run npm run lint in the client folder, which calls will call eslint , the output is correct, the command works.

I have just switch from tslint to eslint, since tslint is obsoleted, but this works with tslint before.

This then sounds like a configuration problem with ESLint itself (if you see it in the terminal). Try if you can run eslint correctly when you are in the client folder. If this is the case then you need to let VS Code know about this as well using eslint.workingDirectories

Thanks you very much, eslint works as expected when I set eslint.workingDirectories=["cients"] in my projects.

Closing the issue then.
