you can try configuring your eslint plugin to detect your workspaces under vscode settings.

eslint.workingDirectories: [{ "pattern": "apps/*" }]

i'm still trying to find out why this happens with pnpm in the first place or why this resolves it.

Even though this proposal can also be applied to WebStorm there is an inherent incompatiblity with pnpm that's not fixed by this. For the time being I applied the pattern I used in the nx-version of my repo with declaring ignorePatterns: ['**/*'] in the eslint-config-custom and then reverting this in the .eslintrc.js within my apps and packages as follows:

module.exports = {
  root: true,
  ignorePatterns: ['!**/*'],
  extends: ['custom'],
};

Maybe this patch from Rush, could also improve things:

Sadly I won't be able to test the suggested patch since I completely gave up on pnpm again.

Every few months when I try it out there is still issues with packages not adhering to decent standards and thus being incompatible with pnpm. This time around it was prisma... but that is offtopic and another story.

I get a similar error though I am using yarn :(

Try using degit to clone down the directory instead of cloning this whole repo. I've added readme instructions in #1884 and I was able to run npm run lint successfully that way and also don't see any issues in VSCode (which is admittedly not WebStorm, but since we've had multiple issues reported about this, I think it is probably a similar config issue)

I still look to be having this issue using VS Code 😬

This may be the same root cause as #1911 in that next dependency isn't available, rather than an issue related to pnpm 🤔 . Not sure when I'll have time to dig into it, but our examples/ setup needs a bit of love.

Any update on this issue? When I generate the default project using pnpm create turbo@latest (with Next 13), I keep getting the error "cannot find module next/babel". I tried adding the working directories, but this didn't resolve the error.

found out a hacky way to fix this
create a settings file .vscode/settings.json or add it to your global settings.json

  "eslint.workingDirectories": [
    { "pattern": "apps/*/" },
    { "pattern": "packages/*/" }
  ]

@Hamziss Didn't work for me 😞

@Hamziss Installing next in root package.json solves this but it's hacky solution to me and I don't like it. I used it though.

@ImBIOS has put up a nice approach to address this here: #3489

Merged, going to close for now, but please reopen if this issue comes up again!
