eslint-config-react-app > @typescript-eslint/parser missing typescript?

[peteyycz]

Describe the bug

Running:
npx eslint .
Returns:
Failed to load parser '@typescript-eslint/parser' declared in 'package.json » eslint-config-react-app#overrides[0]': Cannot find module 'typescript'

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

Tried reinstalling everything, sadly it didn't work.

I've also tried installing typescript as described in the error but it was lacking a tsconfig.json and I also doubt I should have one if this is not a typescript project.

Steps to reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

1. npx create-react-app myapp
2. cd myapp

Expected behavior

It should have ran eslint.

Actual behavior

Failed to load parser '@typescript-eslint/parser' declared in 'package.json » eslint-config-react-app#overrides[0]': Cannot find module 'typescript'

Additional resources

Based on my investigation it might be related to how eslint is now resolving configuration:

https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/migrating-to-6.0.0#package-loading-simplification
Which I have found here:
standard/semistandard#249

EDIT: although now I think about it it's probably a different issue: their case the plugin was missing but in my case the plugin is found but the plugin is missing typescript as a peerdep.

and this optional: https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/blob/master/packages/parser/package.json#L56 is not really optional

Hi, I have the same problem.

Started to happen once I updated react and react-dom from 16.10.0 and react-scripts from 3.2.0.

$ npx create-react-app --info
npx: installed 99 in 39.462s

you can fix this by adding typescript to your dependencies

npm install typescript --save-dev

I think this is related to #6834 (reported on April 2019).
