i had the same issue.

In your root workspace you have a .vscode folder with a settings.json.

Add the following:

{
  "eslint.workingDirectories": [
    "./{PATH_TO_CLIENT}" // replace {PATH_TO_CLIENT} with your own path
  ]
}

typescript - ESLint error: Failed to load 'eslint-plugin-jsdoc' in IntelliJ on Ubuntu - troubleshooting tips? - Stack Overflow
I am struggling with ESLint not being able to load in IntelliJ 2023.1 on Ubuntu 22.04. It seems like there are several syntax errors in the libraries, but I just could not belive that. ... If I correct this specific one (yes, I should not overwrite libraries, especially when I'm not an expert on that stuff), a new syntax error comes again. ... Recent versions of eslint-plugin-jsdoc depend on Node 16 as a minimum version.

r/typescript on Reddit: Setting up eslint-plugin-jsdoc
October 13, 2024 -

I'm trying to set up eslint-plugin-jsdoc to enforce JSDoc in my TS project, but for some reason the linter is not complaining at all when I don't add JSDoc above a function. My config file is as follows:

{
  "extends": ["eslint:recommended", "plugin:jsdoc/recommended"],
  "env": {
    "node": true,
    "es6": true
  },
  "parserOptions": {
    "ecmaVersion": 2021
  },
  "plugins": ["jsdoc"],
  "rules": {
    ...
  }
}

To my (limited) knowledge, as long as I have the recommended rules, the linter should enforce JSDocs for every function. Could someone please help me understand why this isn't working? I do have both ESLint and eslint-plugin-jsdoc installed:

  "devDependencies": {
    "@eslint/js": "^9.12.0",
    "@types/eslint__js": "^8.42.3",
    "@types/node": "^22.7.4",
    "eslint": "^9.12.0",
    "eslint-plugin-jsdoc": "^50.3.2",
    "globals": "^15.11.0",
    "tsx": "^4.19.1",
    "typescript": "^5.6.3",
    "typescript-eslint": "^8.8.1"
  }

eslint v9 does not support the config style anymore. You need to either move down to v8, or upgrade to use flat configs.

November 9, 2020 - The plugin name is spelled incorrectly in an ESLint configuration file (e.g. .eslintrc). 2. If ESLint is installed globally, then make sure 'eslint-plugin-js' is installed globally as well.

Set Up for JSDoc Plugin | TypeScript Analyzer (ESLint, Prettier)
This is the usual default configuration file for the TypeScript Analyzer modified to enable the JSDoc plugin. The actual changes made are detailed at the end of this article. On the Tools/Options/TypeScript Analyzer/ESLint screen, check that both ‘Enable local config (.eslintrc.js)’ and ‘Enable local node_modules’ are set to True, which is the default. Test the rules work. Open app.js, and replace the code with the code below. This is taken from the plugin docs, and is the first example of code that fails with the plugin enabled.

VSCode/eslint will not pick newly installed npm packages in the node_modules directory. After running npm i eslint-plugin-prettier restart the VSCode workspace. Happens to me consistently, every time I setup a new Javascript/Node/React project and add eslint & prettier, using this guide in the order it suggests.
