Additional comments

I'm also confused by the ESLint: 8.6.0 in the on-screen message. The package.json shows a different eslint version:

{
  "name": "eslint_config",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint": "^7.32.0",
    "eslint-config-standard": "^16.0.3",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.25.4",
    "eslint-plugin-node": "^11.1.0",
    "eslint-plugin-promise": "^5.2.0",
    "eslint-plugin-react": "^7.28.0"
  }
}

it should have been fixed in the @eslint/create-config. can you try npm init @eslint/config?

[cek333]

Yes, that works. This time, during the setup, I'm prompted to downgrade eslint. Here's the full output:

$ npm init @eslint/config

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help resolve the discrepancy between npx eslint --init and npm init @eslint/config.

[cek333]

Oh, I just saw the pull request #15150. It seems npm init @eslint/config is intended to be the new method of doing the setup. Is that correct?

[aladdin-add]

yes, it's just merged but not released yet.
