Parsing error: Cannot find module '@react-native/babel-preset'

[flixyudh]

Description

I just create a new library with CRNL, I used .js instead of ts/tsx in my code but everytime declare import React from 'react';, eslint keep saying

Parsing error: Cannot find module '@react-native/babel-preset'
Require stack:
- node_modules/@babel/core/lib/config/files/plugins.js
- node_modules/@babel/core/lib/config/files/index.js
- node_modules/@babel/core/lib/index.js
- node_modules/@babel/eslint-parser/lib/worker/babel-core.cjs
- node_modules/@babel/eslint-parser/lib/worker/handle-message.cjs
- node_modules/@babel/eslint-parser/lib/client.cjs
- node_modules/@babel/eslint-parser/lib/index.cjs
- node_modules/@eslint/eslintrc/dist/eslintrc.cjs

I've tried installing @react-native/babel-preset using yarn add -D @react-native/babel-preset, but the error still persist,

is it expected error from eslint? or CRNL is not supported for .js extension?

Same issue here (fresh library with latest crnl)

I ran into this exact problem. I upgraded react-native to 0.73.2 as listed in my info output and was able to run the tests.

Hey, I'm not able to reproduce this issue, seems like we are missing the @react-native/babel-preset dependency in our root package.json but it's not causing this problem on my end. Obviously we should fix that but the author of the issue says adding it didn't change anything on their end.

To test the library, I basically created a new project using npx create-react-native-library babel-plugin-test and selected Native Module, Kotlin and Swift. Then I removed all the TypeScript files and created a .js and a .jsx file with bad linting, yarn lint worked just fine (it showed the problems). Then I created a .test.js file and a .test.jsx file and yarn test ran just fine.

Could you describe better reproduction steps? In the Selected Options, you only listed the command you ran, not the answers you gave to the CLI. Also, could you provide a reproduction repo? Any help would be appreciated, we want to get this one fixed.
