ESLint not using .prettierrc in root directory when "Setup eslint?" option selected at install

[BenDavidson90]

I'm new to AdonisJS and after watching some tutorials I wanted to start my first project.
Having seen the benefits of ESLint/Prettier and having tested it, I answered "Yes" to the question "Setup eslint?" when installing AdonisJS.

I configured them (by installing eslint-config-prettier and eslint-plugin-prettier in addition to eslint and prettier and then adding "plugin:prettier/recommended" in the .eslintrc.json file) but it doesn't work as I want:

• I created a controller via the make:controller command but when I run the eslint . --ext .ts command, it doesn't take into account my Prettier configuration in the .prettierrc file located at the root of the project.
• On the other hand, if I copy this .prettierrc file in app/Controllers/HTTP directory, ESLint finally takes into account my Prettier configuration.

So I tried to recreate a project but this time by selecting "No" to the question "Setup eslint?", put back my ESLint and Prettier configuration, recreated my controller and... everything works, no need to take out the .prettierrc file from the root.

Is this a known problem? Did I miss something in the documentation?

Thanks in advance for your help and see you soon.

When you say "Yes" to ESLint/prettier prompt, then we configure them as per the conventions used by the core team. So maybe its possible that your manual config + our automated config are having some sort of conflict.

If you already have you conventions finalized, then you can simply say "No" and just use your config and plugins after creating the project

Oh ok thank you. I will surely use your conventions then, I just made some testing like tabWidth to 20 to verify that ESLint was reading my .prettierrc file (first time with these tools like I said before).
So:

• AdonisJS conventions: Yes to prompt
• Own conventions: No to prompt

Ready to develop my first AdonisJS app then ! From a PHP/Symfony guy, it seems the best NodeJS framework here :)
