"ESLint: Error while loading rule 'react/display-name': Cannot find module 'react' from '/home/...'.

[sgehrman]

This version works:
"eslint-plugin-react": "7.11.1",

But new versions are broken. My project is a bit non standard. We have the package.json inside the source folder, so it seems the new versions don't find it in this case, but it has worked fine when using 7.11.1

[ljharb]

are you on eslint 5 or 6? eslint 6 made some changes that tend to force standard configurations.

[sgehrman]

I'm using 5.16.0

[ljharb]

Can you explain a bit about your project layout, including where package.json and your eslint config lives, and where you ran the eslint command?

@sgehrman, I faced the same today. The cause was a corrupted react module in node_modules. It was partly deleted after installing eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y. Try to remove node_modules and reinstall it.

I am facing the same issue as OP (using eslint 5.16.0), downgrading to 7.11.1 worked for me as well.

[HofmannZ]

I can confirm downgrading eslint-plugin-react to 7.11.1 while running ESLint 6.0.1 is a temporary work around.

The following PRs have been merged since 7.11.1: #2225, #2137, #2109, #2002 and #1098.

As for myself, downgrading to 7.13.0 was enough. This issue starts appearing at 7.14.0.

[lbebber]

It seems the error is being caused by this commit specifically golopot@bdd61922d373f71d8

[ljharb]

ah - that might be fixed in #2336 / #2276, just unreleased.

[michaellopez]

@ljharb any info on when a new release containing that fix will be published?

[yannickcr]

@michaellopez I just published v7.14.3 with the fix 🙂

[geoseong]

I just remove and reinstall, problem solved. my version is 7.12.4

"eslint-plugin-react": "^7.12.4",

[devuxer]

I just ran into this with the latest version. I tried (1) restarting VSCode and (2) deleting node_modules and re-running npm install, but neither of those helped. Finally, I tried downgrading to 7.11.1, running eslint, then updating to latest, and running again. This worked!

(Perhaps the issue is caused by trying to run eslint with a much newer version than it was previously run. Maybe you need to run with a somewhat newer version before just suddenly upgrading to the latest version like a crazy person. I'm sorry, I'm just making this up. I have no idea 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.)

[ljharb]

@devuxer you should be able to upgrade to latest eslint 7 just fine. upgrading to eslint 8 might be trickier.
