Summary:
Swallowing the eslint config error is not a good idea
The line
eslintConfig = eslintCli.getConfigForFile(paths.appIndexJs);
can throw in case the provided eslint config is invalid, e.g. when there is a typo or a plugin dependency is missing. Swallowing that error in case the user explicitly sets theEXTEND_ESLINT
environment variable (and therefore expects that his eslint config is used) makes debugging such issues unnecessary cumbersome.The eslint config should only be loaded in case the user wants to load it
The eslint config is never used in case the
EXTEND_ESLINT
is not set. Therefore it makes sense to only resolve it's path in case the environment variable is set.
