Parsing Error with dynamic imports

[epiqueras]

I have:

// xo
"esnext": true,

and I still get a parsing error with import(....

Adding the parser explicitly in xo config ("parser": "babel-eslint") doesn't help either.

I'm not sure import() is even supported by Babel yet. It's a very new feature. Not really relevant here. You have to make sure the parser supports it.

esnext: true sets the parser to babel-eslint right?

I'm pretty sure babel-eslint supports import()

esnext: true only adds the rules in https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-config-xo/blob/master/esnext.js. Setting the parser to babel-eslint should work though since babel-eslint supports dynamic imports.

@kevva I set the parser and it still fails

[kevva]

And you have installed it I presume?

[epiqueras]

@kevva yes.

Works fine for me:

// x.js
'use strict';
import('y.js').then(m => {
    console.log(m);
});

// package.json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "babel-eslint": "^7.2.3",
    "xo": "^0.18.2"
  },
  "xo": {
    "parser": "babel-eslint"
  }
}

Oops,

The babel-eslint readme showed babel-eslint@6 as the install. Upgraded to the newest version and it works fine now. Thanks!
