can you help me to set-up eslint in vs code

I tried it a lot of times now, I thought it's a lot better to ask someone else.

Error message:

Cannot read config file: C:\Users\itsjzt\.eslintrc.json Error: Unexpected token � in JSON at position 0

Settings:

{
  "editor.tabSize": 2,
  "files.eol": "\n",
  "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true,
  "workbench.colorTheme": "Dracula",
  "editor.minimap.enabled": false,
  "workbench.iconTheme": "material-icon-theme",
  "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 16,
  "eslint.packageManager": "yarn",
  "eslint.options": { "configFile": "C:\\Users\\itsjzt\\.eslintrc.json" }
}

plugins:

dbaeumer.vscode-eslint
dracula-theme.theme-dracula
lukehoban.Go
PKief.material-icon-theme
WakaTime.vscode-wakatime
WallabyJs.quokka-vscode

.eslintrc.json

{
  "extends": "airbnb"
}

Also, I think we used this guide to set up ESLint with Airbnb flavor:
travishorn.com/setting-up-eslint-o...

@maestromac would be able to confirm.

Any reason you're not using npm to configure your ESLint?

got the problem, it was due to some weird file format.

I didn't know how to make a global .eslintrc, so I googled and copy pasted the config.

Hmm interesting. Might be a Windows thing. I always had issues creating irregular file extensions with Windows. Glad you figured it out though.

Sometimes Windows sucks

Hmm what happens if you change .eslintrc.json to an empty object {}?
