eslint/eslint #1238 · read the original issue
I've authored a plugin [eslint-no-exclusive-tests](https://github.com/tlvince/eslint-no-exclusive-tests) that warns if certain Jasmine methods are used (`ddescribe, iit` etc.)
When eslint is installed globally (as normal), a module loader error is thrown:
``` shell
❯ eslint spec.js
module.js:340
throw err;
^

As the [docs](http://eslint.org/docs/developer-guide/working-with-plugins.html) say to add eslint as a peerDependency, it gets installed locally to the project. If using the local eslint, the plugin runs as expected:
``` shell
❯ ./node_modules/.bin/eslint spec.js
spec.js
3:0 error Unexpected ddescribe no-exclusive-tests/no-exclusive-tests
```
`package.json`:
``` json
...
"devDependencies": {
"eslint": "^0.8.0",
"eslint-plugin-no-exclusive-tests": "^0.2.0"
...
```
`.eslintrc`
``` yaml
plugins:
- no-exclusive-tests
rules:
no-exclusive-tests/no-exclusive-tests: 2
```
