nuxt/eslint doesn't recognise global helpers in plugins folder
I have a number of files in my plugins folder and nuxt/eslint module is flagging the following as undefined, even though they're not and my project still works useRuntimeConfig, defineNuxtPlugin.
A workaround is to add this to config, but it seems odd (a bug?) that it can't just read these in the plugins folder when it doesn't flag as a problem for the rest of the project
languageOptions: {
globals: {
defineNuxtPlugin: "readonly",
useRuntimeConfig: "readonly",
},
},

Hi @Tincan. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
This issue you're experiencing with the
@nuxt/eslint module not recognizing global helpers like useRuntimeConfig and defineNuxtPlugin in the plugins folder is indeed unusual, as these should typically be recognized in a Nuxt project. However, based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insights and potential solutions.
1. First, it's worth noting that there's a known bug in JetBrains IDEs (PhpStorm, WebStorm) related to custom global properties in Vue. As mentioned in a Stack Overflow post, "Turns out that there is a bug in jetbrains IDEs (Phpstorm, webstorm). Tried opening same repo in vscode, plugins are typed OK" Stack Overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78484042). If you're using a JetBrains IDE, this might be the cause of your issue.
2. If you're not using a JetBrains IDE or if the issue persists in other editors, the problem might be related to how the ESLint configuration is set up for your Nuxt project. The @nuxt/eslint module is designed to provide project-aware ESLint configuration for Nuxt 3 projects Nuxt ESLint Config (https://eslint.nuxt.com/packages/config).
3. To ensure that your ESLint configuration is properly set up for Nuxt 3, you might want to check if you're using the recommended flat config format. The flat config format is the future of ESLint and is designed to be more flexible and project-aware Flat Config Format (https://eslint.nuxt.com/packages/config#flat-config-format).
4. If you haven't already, you can set up the @nuxt/eslint module using the following command:
This should generate an eslint.config.mjs file in your project root, which you can then customize as needed Nuxt Code Style (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/concepts/code-style).
5. If you're already using the flat config format and still experiencing issues, you might need to customize the configuration. You can do this by modifying your eslint.config.mjs file:
Flat Config Format (https://eslint.nuxt.com/packages/config#flat-config-format)
6. The workaround you mentioned (adding globals to the configuration) is a valid approach if the automatic detection is not working. However, it shouldn't be necessary if the ESLint configuration is correctly set up for a Nuxt project.
If you've tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, it might be worth checking if there are any conflicts with other ESLint configurations in your project, or if there are any specific settings in your nuxt.config.ts file that might be affecting the ESLint behavior.
Remember, you can also use the ESLint Config Inspector in the Nuxt DevTools to inspect the resolved ESLint flat config, which might provide more insights into your configuration Config Inspector (https://eslint.nuxt.com/packages/module#config-inspector).
If the problem persists after trying these solutions, it might indeed be a bug in the @nuxt/eslint module, and you may want to consider reporting it to the Nuxt team for further investigation.

@kapa.ai I am using flat config and the module appears to be set up correct. Using VS Code, everything is running the latest version
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

If you're using the flat config and the module appears to be set up correctly, but you're still experiencing issues with global helpers not being recognized in the plugins folder, it might be worth trying a few more troubleshooting steps:
1. Check your ESLint version: The
@nuxt/eslint module is designed for the new ESLint flat config format, which is the default format since ESLint v9. Make sure you're using a version of ESLint that supports the flat config format. Flat config is supported since ESLint v8.45.0, but it's recommended to use the latest version of ESLint for the best experience ESLint Module (https://eslint.nuxt.com/packages/module).
2. Inspect your ESLint config: Use the ESLint Config Inspector in the Nuxt DevTools to inspect the resolved ESLint flat config. This might provide more insights into your configuration and help identify any potential issues Config Inspector (https://eslint.nuxt.com/packages/module#config-inspector).
3. Check for conflicts: If you have other ESLint configurations or plugins in your project, they might be causing conflicts. Try disabling other configurations or plugins temporarily to see if the issue persists.
4. Try a clean install: Sometimes, issues can be resolved by doing a clean install of your project dependencies. Delete your node_modules folder and your package-lock.json or yarn.lock file, then run npm install or yarn install to reinstall your dependencies.
5. Report the issue: If you've tried all these steps and the issue still persists, it might indeed be a bug in the @nuxt/eslint module. Consider reporting the issue to the Nuxt team for further investigation. You can do this by creating a new issue on the Nuxt GitHub page (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/issues).
Remember, the @nuxt/eslint module is designed to provide a project-aware ESLint configuration for Nuxt 3 projects. If you're using a different version of Nuxt or a different ESLint configuration, you might need to adjust your setup accordingly.
