What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.
Any file I create gives the "no-empty-label" error at the top of the file, no matter what is there.

Code Example:

const chai = require('chai');
chai.should();

// the following 3 lines are REQUIRED for all test files
const Lab = require('lab');
const lab = exports.lab = Lab.script();
const serverPromise = require('../../../server');

let SERVER = {};

lab.experiment('system experiments:', () => {
  lab.before((done) => {
    serverPromise
      .then((server) => {
        SERVER = server;
        done();
      });
  });
  lab.test('status route responds with data and 200 status', (done) => {
    const options = {
      method: 'GET',
      url: '/api/status'
    };
    SERVER.inject(options, (response) => {
      const result = response.result;
      console.log(Object.keys(result));
      done();
    });
  });
});

What did you expect to happen?
No linting errors.

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint.

Output on CLI (sample of error on one file). I have 7 total and it's each file at the top:

eslint --ext .js --quiet ./lib/ ./tests/ index.js

/Users/Icehunter/GitHub/project/tests/specs/controllers/system-controller.js
  1:1  error  Rule 'no-empty-label' was removed and replaced by: no-labels  no-empty-label

I'm using atom with eslint plugin as well.

Could you try running eslint filename --print-config? That should print out the whole configuration used to lint this file. If no-empty-label shows up in that list, you could try running eslint filename --debug to see which config files are being loaded. ESLint cascades configuration files, so no-empty-label might be coming from some directory above your current configuration.

It seems I had another eslintrc in the parent folder GitHub for some reason. I had incorrectly assumed it would walk the tree until it found one and stopped ^^;

Thanks! Removing that file fixed it all.

[ilyavolodin]

If you want ESLint to stop at the first file it finds, you can add root: true to that file, and it will stop the cascading. Closing, as it looks like the issue is resolved.
