The current behavior

The expected behavior

ES lint is upgraded successfully

Seems like the changes have been added to the library here but a new version is yet to be released on NPM

You can install the eslint-plugin-react-hooks RC to get around this for now.

npm i eslint-plugin-react-hooks@rc

That doesn't work for me unfortunately. Any idea?

@nikolailehbrink your issue is with eslint-plugin-import. I don’t use it personally, but you could try see if they have an rc/beta/preview branch with eslint 9 support.

[bsShoham]

@nikolailehbrink you can also use eslint plugin perfectionist as it has a similar feature of import ordering to eslint-plugin-import, and supports eslint v9

[DeadEnglish]

thanks @bsal649, whilst using the release candidate as work around does indeed fix the issue (and may be useful for other projects), RCs seem to be updated daily. I'm mainly worried about platform stability and ideally require a stable release version for our application.

[DAcodedBEAT]

I believe this related to #28313

[eps1lon]

Fixed in #28773. Will be released alongside React 19 as stable. You can use it today by install eslint-plugin-react-hooks@rc.
