eslint-remote-tester

library4.0.4jsnpmunverified

CLI tool for running ESLint rules against multiple remote repositories simultaneously. Current stable version is 4.0.4, released on an irregular cadence. Key differentiators: designed for regression testing of new or modified ESLint rules across many real-world codebases; integrates with CI via GitHub Actions; supports both flat config (eslint@9) and legacy config; ESM-only since v4. Unlike local linting tools, it clones and lints repositories from GitHub to catch false positives, crashes, and unexpected behavior before a rule is published. Requires peer dependencies eslint@>=9, importx@>=0.3.5, jiti@>=1.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Config is a type, not a value. Use type-only import. Available since v4.

import type { Config } from 'eslint-remote-tester'

Package is ESM-only since v4. CommonJS require() will throw ERR_REQUIRE_ESM.

import eslintRemoteTester from 'eslint-remote-tester'

runProgrammatically is a named export, not the default. Use destructured import.

import { runProgrammatically } from 'eslint-remote-tester'

Shows creation of a configuration file with flat config (ESM), listing remote repos, extensions, and ignore patterns. Run via npx.

// Install: npm install --save-dev eslint-remote-tester eslint // Create eslint-remote-tester.config.js (ESM) import js from '@eslint/js'; /** @type {import('eslint-remote-tester').Config} */ const config = { repositories: ['mui-org/material-ui', 'reach/reach-ui'], extensions: ['js', 'jsx', 'ts', 'tsx'], eslintConfig: [js.configs.recommended], pathIgnorePattern: `(${[ 'node_modules', '\\/\\.', 'test-results', 'docs', ].join('|')})`, }; export default config; // Run CLI: // npx eslint-remote-tester

Debug

Known footguns

breakingPackage converted to ESM-only in v4.0.0. CommonJS require() will fail.

breakingDropped support for eslint@<9 in v4.0.0. eslint@9 with FlatConfig is required.

breakingThe eslintConfig option changed from a single config object to an array in v4.0.4.

deprecatedTypeScript config loading via jiti@^1 is deprecated; jiti@^2 or importx@>=0.3.5 recommended.

gotchaThe underlying git integration requires git CLI to be installed and callable as 'git'.

gotchaLoading config on Windows could fail before v4.0.1.
