Suggested Changes

I'm trying to test a rule locally on a project that uses yarn v1.

Following the instructions, I run:

$ cd .../typescript-eslint
$ for package in ./packages/*; do cd $package; yarn link; cd ../..; done
$ cd .../my-project
$ yarn link @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin @typescript-eslint/parser
yarn link v1.22.19
error No registered package found called "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin".
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/link for documentation about this command.

I noticed that yarn --version prints 3.8.1 in typescript-eslint but 1.22.19 in my project. So I ran:

$ yarn set version 1.2.219

In typescript-eslint and repeated the for loop steps. After that, I was able to run yarn link in my own project.

So it seems there's a missing step in the instructions if you're using a yarn version other than the one that typescript-eslint uses.

Similar issue for the instructions with pnpm:

$ for package in ./packages/*; do cd $package; pnpm link --global; cd ../..; done
Usage Error: This project is configured to use yarn

$ pnpm ...

I assume you need to remove the "packageManager" line from package.json to make this work.
