CRA ignores ESLINT_NO_DEV_ERRORS, DISABLE_ESLINT_PLUGIN

[lukenzo]

Hi,

I have a react app with react-scripts 5.0.0 and eslint.
If I have any eslint errors they are displayed in console and browser with error overlay. I'd like to disable that browser error overlay and keep errors/warnings in console only.
I found a bunch of posts to use .env file with ESLINT_NO_DEV_ERRORS=true or DISABLE_ESLINT_PLUGIN=true but none of them work for me (https://create-react-app.dev/docs/advanced-configuration/). The only thing that worked was to set TSC_COMPILE_ON_ERROR=true, but then it compiles with any kind of errors, not necessarily eslint (but it confirms that .env file is working). Ejecting project doesn't sound like an option as well.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Came here to report the same. @lukenzo
Did you find a reason/solution?

This is the most ridiculous issue I've ever run into...

It even triggers for files that are no longer used... This is just infuriating.

I found this annoying as well, but setting the env var directly in the start script solved it: in package.json, in the scripts section, change "start": "react-scripts start" to "start": "ESLINT_NO_DEV_ERRORS=true react-scripts start". This should do the trick!
