module resolving when cwd === "babelrc"

[mikemonteith]

babel-plugin-module-resolver treats the string "babelrc" as a special case, which is not supported by this resolver.
From babel-plugin Readme:

cwd: By default, the working directory is the one used for the resolver, but you can override it for your project.
The custom value babelrc will make the plugin look for the closest babelrc configuration based on the file to parse.

babel-plugin relevant code:

I just ran into this as well. Debugging through this plugin, I can see that it's not translating the value babelrc to the directory of the .babelrc file, it's using it as a literal directory name.

Thank you for reporting this @mikemonteith. I'll try to take a look at it this weekend if nobody takes it before.

Have submitted a trival PR. It resolve this issue for me (babelrc & eslintrc are both in the repo root directory, but I still need to set cwd: 'babelrc' because I need to run babel-node from directories which aren't the repo root). I'm not sure about other contexts.

Any luck with the pull request?

[laurence-hudson-tessella]

Nope, it has been open for >20 days, without comment. #45. In the short term I've just been using "eslint-import-resolver-babel-module": "laurence-hudson-tessella/eslint-import-resolver-babel-module#8c76c7d11285f8297a53462fed77c4cc5d5c8e03", in my devDeps.

I'm sorry, I'm very busy since the beginning of the year.

We need to update the plugin to handle the babelrc string. Pretty much the same logic as what we can find here https://github.com/tleunen/babel-plugin-module-resolver/blob/master/src/index.js#L78-L87. I might also export the function from the babel plugin to keep the logic in one place only.

Please try again with 4.0.0-beta.1 :)

[laurence-hudson-tessella]

Thanks Tommy, 4.0.0-beta.1 with 3.0.0-beta.0 of the babel plugin works in my scenario (ie babelrc & eslintrc are both in the repo root directory).

[tleunen]

Great! Thank you for reporting this.
