Definition for rule 'react/no-will-update-set-state' was not found

[joetidee]

I am getting the following error thrown in the terminal:

1:1 error Definition for rule 'react/no-will-update-set-state' was not found react/no-will-update-set-state

what does this mean?

p.s. my rule definition in .eslintrc is "react/no-will-update-set-state": "error"

Any chance you're using the airbnb eslint config (which doesn't yet support v7 of eslint-plugin-react) and v7 of eslint-plugin-react? If so, npm ls should tell you your dependencies are invalid.

If not, what version of eslint-plugin-react are you using?

I have the following packages installed:

"eslint-config-airbnb": "^14.0.0"
"eslint-plugin-react": "^6.10.3"

Ran npm ls and no invalid dependencies showed up.

That rule only exists in v7 - it was added in #1139.

You won't be able to enable it until eslint-config-airbnb releases a new semver-major that supports v7 of eslint-plugin-react.

ok, thanks for that.
