Parsing error: parser.parse is not a function

Bug Template

Actual Behavior

On codeclimate.com the PR is failing but the only error message shown on the site is Parsing error: parser.parse is not a function

Expected Behavior

If there is an actual issue, it should be explained in an understandable way. However using the codeclimate CLI no errors are reported.

Steps to reproduce

1. Include configurations used in your:
   
   (1) .codeclimate.yml
   
   (2) config files for the oss analysis tool.
   

2. If possible, use our CLI with the debug option to provide additional info, including any stderr produced by the engine. CODECLIMATE_DEBUG=1 codeclimate analyze -e eslint

See the PR here: sockethub/sockethub#325

Using the CLI, no errors shown.

Hi @silverbucket - thanks for the issue and mention here 👍🏼

You're likely seeing that parsing error because of the default version of ESLint (3.19.0) used in our in-app plugin settings.

To use a different eslint version, you'll need to add a .codeclimate.yml with something like this:

Let me know if you bump into anything else! Here to help.

Maybe it would be helpful for someone.

I got error:

I don't why it helps but in my case it was missing .babelrc file. When I added it - error has gone.
