Hello @pgoldrbx, are you sure that there is no .eslintrc file in your home folder (/Users/<username>) ? This would be consistent with this error. In newer eslint versions the name of the rule space-unary-word-ops has been changed to space-unary-ops. I suspect you have an old .eslintrc file in your $HOME directory which is used for defaults. Please note that rules used for linting are computed from all the .eslintrc files found in the file directory hierarchy.
