Failed to load plugin import: 'eslint-plugin-import'

Run today in the same problem. Had upgraded ESLint 5.16 to 6.6.0 and had been using the vue-eslint-plugin 5.2.3. Had to install this packages:

npm install eslint-plugin-import --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-node --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-promise --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-standard --save-dev

Try this

npm install -g eslint

then

eslint --init

The issue is resolved for me after installing the following in a row:

npm install eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-flowtype eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y eslint-plugin-react

Have you tried installing eslint locally, like

npm install eslint-plugin-import --save-dev

?

Edit -Solution:

Instead of installing eslint packages one after another, the problem can be alleviated by

npm install react-scripts

as react-scripts is taking care of webpack, babel and eslint and the dependencies thereof.

This may avoid conflicts, as in your case.
