I'm having the same problem just now

[IsabellaRey]

Note there is no .eslintrc.json file generated in the root folder - is that what the problem is?

If I add one manually, running npm run lint again seems to be running the actual linting

@FrancescoSaverioZuppichini @IsabellaRey Please provide a repro so as to investigate.

[devjiwonchoi]

@IsabellaRey If that is the case, add .eslintrc.json as:

{
  "extends": "next/core-web-vitals"
}

[IsabellaRey]

Repro steps are as described by @FrancescoSaverioZuppichini:

1. create bare-bone web app with create-next-app
2. ensure package.json has scripts.lint = "next lint"
3. run npm run lint

Expected:
the first run of npm run lint generates the appropriate .eslintrc.json file in the root folder. Subsequent runs do the actual linting

Actual:
the first run of npm run lint does not generate a config file. Subsequent runs keep asking the user which configuration they want to set up, only to tell them it's already set up (which it isn't)

@devjiwonchoi thanks - I'll be adding a config file manually as a temporary workaround, but please note that this is not in line with the docs: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/configuring/eslint
Half of the point of prompting the user seems to be auto-generating that config file

[devjiwonchoi]

I've checked that create-next-app does create the default .eslintrc.json.
I'll investigate the issue for not creating the file though, thanks.

[IsabellaRey]

@devjiwonchoi thanks for looking into this.

I should add in my case I actually started with a Nextjs template which does not include eslint to start with:
it's the recommended template with Redux:

https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-redux

npx create-next-app --example with-redux with-redux-app

[devjiwonchoi]

Fixing this issue will resolve that also, appreciate you for sharing.

[devjiwonchoi]

In order to make this issue clear, I'll port this issue.
