NPM 7 installs very old version

[scottlet]

This might be related to the #1986 issue so if it is apologies for the noise.

Running npm i --save-dev eslint-plugin-import eslint-config-import in an empty project brings in a super old version of the plugin that seems pinned to the eslint-config-import version (0.13.0). In turn this is causing me problems when using eslint-import-resolver-alias which expects eslint-plugin-import@">=1.4.0

But all is fine if I force the npm install.

$ node -v
v15.11.0
$ npm -v
7.6.0

What is eslint-config-import?

I would suggest not using that package, as it hasn’t been maintained in 5 years, i don’t have publish rights on it, and i can’t find any record of that package.json file in this repo.

Additionally, its peer dep on 0.13 of this plugin means that you are forced to use 0.13 of the plugin with it, otherwise your dep graph is invalid.

OK thanks. Is an old project, will remove eslint-config-import and see what breaks :)

For posterity, here’s https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/tree/v0.13.0/config, and it was removed in 369c9dd#diff-b79606fb3afea5bd1609ed40b622142f1c98125abcfe89a76a661b0e8e343910 before this plugin reached v1.
