Unable to load pinterest-linters (phabricator, arcanist) - lint

Question

I was trying to add pinterest-linters to my project, but I got some errors when I arc lint.
ARGV '/Users/lushali/somewhere/arcanist/bin/../scripts/arcanist.php' 'lint' '--trace'

I was following the instructions from the github (https://github.com/pinterest/arcanist-linters#global-installation)
Here is my .arcconfig file:
{
"phabricator.uri" : "https://code.XXXXX.com/",
"load": [
"pinterest-linters"
]
}
I couldn't find .bin/prettier-eslint in my node_modules folder. I think probably there is something wrong when Arcanist loaded the module. I spent a lot of time searching online, but I got nothing useful. Can someone help? Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

From your error message, I think you need to create an .arclint file on top of adding pinterest-linters to your .arcconfig file. For example, an .arclint file for prettier and eslint would look something like this:
{
"linters": {
"eslint": {
"type": "eslint",
"include": ["(\\.js$)", "(\\.jsx$)"],
"bin": "./node_modules/.bin/eslint",
"eslint.config": ".eslintrc",
"eslint.env": "browser,node"
},
"prettier": {
"type": "prettier",
"include": ["(\\.js$)", "(\\.jsx$)"],
"bin": "./node_modules/.bin/prettier",
"prettier.cwd": "./"
}
}
}
However, yours may be different as your error message states that you use prettier-eslint.
