Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM] when using flat config in ESLint w/ CJS

[antfu]

@vctrtvfrrr, This is not relevant. Set noEmit: true in your tsconfig.json

[antfu]

Any reason to use eslint.config.cjs instead of eslint.config.mjs?

Any reason to use eslint.config.cjs instead of eslint.config.mjs?

When I use eslint.config.mjs I receive this error:

Cannot write file '/path/to/project/eslint.config.mjs' because it would overwrite input file.ts

[mitjans]

The error mentioned (Cannot write file...) appears in the server/tsconfig.json file of any Nuxt project when using the new @nuxt/eslint module along with the flat config file.

Setting noEmit: true works, but it would be nice if the module handled this internally.
Can the module add this setting to .nuxt/tsconfig.server.json?

[mitjans]

Maybe by adding the following hook?

nuxt.hook('nitro:config', (config) => {
  config.typescript.tsConfig.compilerOptions.noEmit = true;
});

@antfu I was trying to make a minimal shared config without using bundlers so just wrote it in CJS format.

We would suggest always use eslint.config.mjs as there is almost no reason to not to (it works even in a CJS project). If you absolutely need CJS, I'd suggest you to use dynamic import then.
