Build error no-undef for flowtypes with class properties

[ubershmekel]

Can you reproduce the problem with npm 4.x?

Yes

Description

An error when running yarn run build occurs if I add a class property with a type to a react component. E.g.

interface MyType {
  what?: string;
}

// works fine
var status: MyType = {};
console.log(status);

class App extends Component {
  // no-undef build error
  state: MyType = {};
  render() {
...

Expected behavior

✨ Done in 11.24s.

Actual behavior

./src/App.js
  Line 16:  'state' is not defined  no-undef

error Command failed with exit code 1.

Note that yarn run flow raises no issue. So I'm guessing it's an eslint problem but there's no way to tell from the build output. Would be nice if the errors were tagged with their source (vs code does this in the problems panel).

Environment

Run these commands in the project folder and fill in their results:

1. npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected): [email protected]
2. node -v: v7.9.0
3. npm -v: 4.6.1

Then, specify:

2. Browser and version: This is a command line build issue

I gave this a 👍 earlier, but I just downloaded your example and can't reproduce the error. I'm using Node 7.10.0, if it matters.

The weird part is, I can still reproduce similar problems on my own project. For one of my components:

export default class Something extends Component {
  props: {
    foo: string,
  };

results in:

'props' is not defined no-undef

Weirder still, and I'm not sure if it's related, I have another component where adding an arrow function property:

export default class SomethingElse extends Component {
  handleChange = (event) => {
    console.log(event);
  };

results in:

'handleChange' is not defined no-undef

But weirder still, changing the method's name to test works fine:

export default class SomethingElse extends Component {
  test = (event) => {
    console.log(event);
  };

I can't pin down an exact pattern, but I feel like this is all related. Thoughts?

[ubershmekel]

I've also experienced the issue with arrow functions. Though I think running flow by itself found other issues that later alleviated the arrow-no-undef issue.

I can't reproduce this with https://github.com/ubershmekel/create-react-app-flowtypes on Node 7.9.0.

I tried both with npm 4.6.1 and with Yarn 0.24.3.

We'll need more details about how to reproduce this.

[ubershmekel]

On a fresh clone I wasn't able to reproduce the issue either. I folder-diffed vs the reproducing check out and saw no differences. Then I moved my bugged folder elsewhere and it stopped bugging out.

I narrowed it down to a node_modules two folder levels above my original checkout. I've updated the repository https://github.com/ubershmekel/create-react-app-flowtypes so now if you want to see the error you need to:

# at the root
yarn

cd folder2/folder1/

yarn

yarn run build

./src/App.js
Line 16: 'state' is not defined no-undef

I guess for me the surprise is that the build isn't folder-local.

I think this issue might be from eslint 4.0 since when I upgraded from 3.19 to 4.0 a while ago I got this issue. So I had to stick with eslint 3.19. Though I'm not entirely sure why upgrading eslint would cause this

[gaearon]

Oh, I see. Thank you so much for the repro case, it will be very useful.

The incompatibility with ESLint 4.0 is a known issue. We haven’t dug into it yet because nothing is forcing us to upgrade.

I’m surprised why react-scripts doesn’t “find” the right eslint though. Have you tried not using yarn? It might be this Yarn bug: yarnpkg/yarn#3535. Although I’d expect it to only break eslint bin command rather than npm start.

[JeffreyATW]

In my case, I ran yarn add eslint --dev because I wanted to use the CLI. Doing so installed [email protected] into my own package.json. That's likely the issue - for now I'll make sure to install the same version that react-scripts uses.

[gaearon]

Aah okay that explains it. We probably need to do something to resolve eslint from react-scripts rather than top level.

[gaearon]

I think this will be fixed once webpack-contrib/eslint-loader#181 is unreverted and we can use that option.

[JeffreyATW]

In the meantime, downgrading my own version to 3.19 cleared everything up.

[gaearon]

I'll close this as it's not a bug, but caused by using incompatible version of ESLint.
We will update to ESLint 4 eventually, and as part of that work will also solve hoisting issues.

This is tracked in #2644 now.

@gaearon I just updated to the newest CRA and this seems to have popped up again for me. I'm wondering now that CRA uses eslint 4 is this is a bug now? Is anyone else running into this?

[zzuhan]

In v4.13.1, stil pop

[dancherb]

+1, still getting this

[vladimirvorobiev]

i my case conflict with react-script
removing react-script solved my problem

Commenting on a closed issue is futile. This is what the notification list looks like for me (and many other maintainers):

This is 2024 unread issues. And I only watch this and a few other projects. Do you expect anyone to be able to read through this?

If you're commenting in a closed issue, the only place where your comment appears is in the notifications. If I fail to read the notifications I won't see it. If you just add "thumbs up" to a comment that's a guarantee I'll never even have any idea you were here. :-)

This is why if you experience a problem after an issue was closed you should file a new issue. With a reproducing case. Thanks.
