'Why (and How Can I FIx) ESLint import/no-extraneous-dependencies Failures on Installed Packages?

When I run ESLint I get the following errors:

1:13  error  'joi' should be listed in the project's dependencies. Run 'npm i -S joi' to add it        import/no-extraneous-dependencies
2:16  error  'lodash' should be listed in the project's dependencies. Run 'npm i -S lodash' to add it  import/no-extraneous-dependencies

However, I have both of those module installed and in my package.json:

"joi": "^10.4.2",
// Some other packages
"lodash": "^4.17.2",

and running:

npm i -S joi

doesn't help or fix the issue. Also I have tons of other packages in my package.json, and only those two have issues. It's possible that this is a bug, but ESLint has so many eyes on it I think it's more likely that I'm doing something wrong ... only I can't figure out what (those packages look just the same as any other in my package.json).

Can anyone suggest what I might be doing (inadvertently) to make ESLint complaint about those two packages, and only those two packages, despite them being installed?

As you can see it's pretty straightforward; just lots of packages. And here's my .eslintrc:

{
  "extends": "airbnb",
  "env": {
    "browser": true,
    "node": true
  },
  "globals": {
    "NODE_ENV": true,
    "isProduction": true,
    "__ROUTE__": true
  },
  "parser": "babel-eslint",
  "plugins": [
    "babel"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "react/jsx-filename-extension": [
      "error",
      {
        "extensions": [
          ".js",
          ".jsx"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "comma-dangle": [
      "error",
      {
        "arrays": "always-multiline",
        "objects": "always-multiline",
        "imports": "always-multiline",
        "exports": "always-multiline",
        "functions": "ignore"
      }
    ],
    "eol-last": "error",
    "import/order": "error",
    "This next rule is just temporary until we start using PropTypes": 0,
    "react/prop-types": 0
  },
  "settings": {
    "import/resolver": {
      "babel-module": {}
    }
  }
}


Solution 1:[1]

Add the following to your eslint, just to have the correct rule in there. And yes you can also turn it off, but the error is there for e reason.

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": ["error", {"devDependencies": false, "optionalDependencies": false, "peerDependencies": false}]

As far as I can tell, there is no issue with your package.json, so it has to be a syntax problem.

I don't have your code so I will show the examples:

var _ = require('lodash');
import _ from 'lodash';

If you have the above code (or something like it)

Then change it to:

import test from 'ava';
import find from 'lodash.find';

Solution 2:[2]

I had the same problem.

What solved it for me was to add a packageDir option explicitly:

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": [
    "error", {
       "devDependencies": false, 
       "optionalDependencies": false, 
       "peerDependencies": false, 
       "packageDir": "./"
    }
]

Solution 3:[3]

I solved it simply by setting devDependencies to true. By default it is false.

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": [
        "error", {
           "devDependencies": true
        }
    ]

Solution 4:[4]

devDependencies: packageDir or devDependencies: false solutions above didn't work for me, but eventually I solved this. Here's what worked for me:

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": [
  "error",
  {
    "devDependencies": ["test/**"],
    "optionalDependencies": false,
    "peerDependencies": false
  }
],

Just list your tests folder in devDependencies instead of false.

Solution 5:[5]

I solved this by simply deleting the node_modules folder and the package-lock.json then doing a fresh npm install

Solution 6:[6]

What I did to fix this:

"import/no-extraneous-dependencies": [
  "error",
  {
    "devDependencies": [
      "**/*.stories.*",
      "**/.storybook/**/*.*",
      "**/*.test.*"
    ],
    "peerDependencies": true
  }
]

Solution 7:[7]

If you arrived here while searching for 'Definition for rule 'import/no-extraneous-dependencies' was not found'

Then to fix this issue you should add "plugins": ["import"] in your .eslintrc file

Solution 8:[8]

I had this problem, because some tool (most probably "rollup") generated another package.json (containing empty JSON {}) in my project's subdirectory. Deleting that file helped.
