How to tell eslint to: disable next line "'import' and 'export' may appear only with 'sourceType: module'"

Question

How to tell eslint to: disable next line for

"'import' and 'export' may appear only with 'sourceType: module'"

Without configuration, it has to be inline.

The following doesn't seem to be working

/* eslint-disable */

// eslint-disable-next-line

Why:

Let's say you are writing a test inside a NON module project, and you want to prove you can or cannot dynamically import an ESM module.

describe('my test', it("doesn't work", ()=> require('./my.esm.js'))

Where 'my.esm.js' could be

export function noop {}

...or whatever

But the main project, nor the tests are module based.

You can try to add "sourceType": "module" to your eslint config file. Here's example:

{ "parserOptions": { "ecmaVersion": 6, "sourceType": "module", "ecmaFeatures": { "jsx": true } }, "rules": { "semi": "error" } }

Thank you, but I need it be in-line as a comment.

@Dan okay! I understood your concern. but did it work?

,The configuration ? I'm pretty sure it will ... , don't see why not. But is not what I need :(

I suggest you to refer original eslint docs for this. I have already mentioned a link in my answer. I hope you may find your answer there.

This answer does nothing for me. I still see the same error. Any ideas?
