.eslintrc is incorrectly resolved from within another .eslintrc file

[remcohaszing]

What version of ESLint are you using?
2.13.0

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using?
None

Please show your full configuration:
The following directory tree:

|- src/
|   `- .eslintrc
`-  website/
     ` app/
        ` .eslintrc

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.
website/app/.eslintrc contains the following:

extends: ../../src/.eslintrc

What did you expect to happen?
website/app/.eslintrc to extend src/.eslintrc. This does work when using eslint@2.12.0.

A workaround is to incorrectly remove one ../ from the path.

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint.

Getting this same issue, seems related to the updates in config-file.js method applyExtends(config, filePath, relativeTo);. Specifically line 384:
parentPath = (!isAbsolutePath(parentPath) ? path.join(relativeTo || path.dirname(filePath), parentPath) : parentPath );

This breaks with this as well with the same error.

"extends": "./default.eslintrc",

Confirmed it's this commit that breaks fb49c7f from pull #6359

Parent works

npm install git://github.com/eslint/eslint.git#5122f738dc6bdc85c602758b2fa3560c1ac5dceb

Commit that breaks

npm install git://github.com/eslint/eslint.git#fb49c7fb119c6d2a2a0441a01190bda8a9172353

Also, this is a duplicate of #6482 so this can be closed ^^

[vitorbal]

Closing this as it is a duplicate of #6450. There should be a patch release today with the fix. Follow #6450 for updates!
