1.4.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

An ESLint formatter that extends the default "stylish" formatter by making file paths, line numbers, and column numbers into clickable links in terminals that support hyperlinks. Version 1.4.0 is the latest stable release (no recent updates, likely stable). Supports ESLint 8 and 9. Differentiators: automatically generates hyperlinks without requiring IDE-specific plugins, works in VS Code, iTerm2, and other hyperlink-aware terminals.

Common errors

error Error: Cannot find module 'eslint-formatter-autolinkable-stylish' ↓

cause Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run npm install --save-dev eslint-formatter-autolinkable-stylish

error Error: Invalid option '--format' - perhaps you meant '--format=autolinkable-stylish'? ↓

cause Typo in the format name.

fix

Use exactly --format=autolinkable-stylish

error TypeError: formatter is not a function ↓

cause Using import instead of require in a Node.js script.

fix

Use const stylish = require('eslint-formatter-autolinkable-stylish');

Warnings

gotcha The formatter does not export an ESM module; using import will fail. ↓

fix Use require() instead.

gotcha Hyperlinks require a terminal that supports the OSC 8 escape sequence (e.g., iTerm2, VS Code terminal). Standard terminals like cmd.exe or plain xterm may not work. ↓

fix Use a hyperlink-compatible terminal.

gotcha The formatter is only usable via CLI --format flag; it cannot be used directly from Node.js code. ↓

fix Use the CLI or eslint.executeOnFiles() with the formatter name string.
