/* eslint-env */ comments are no longer supported — ESLint 10 reports them as errors; declare globals in config

eslint@10#eslint#eslint-env#globals#v10-migration
/* eslint-env */ comments are no longer supported
Fix

Delete the comments and declare globals in eslint.config.js using the globals package, scoped with files where needed:

// eslint.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config'
import globals from 'globals'

export default defineConfig([
  { files: ['src/**/*.js'], languageOptions: { globals: globals.browser } },
  { files: ['scripts/**/*.js'], languageOptions: { globals: globals.node } },
  { files: ['**/*.test.js'], languageOptions: { globals: globals.jest } },
])

For a single file, a /* global myVar */ comment is still supported. The codemod npx codemod @eslint/v9-to-v10 handles other v10 config cleanups.

Symptom

After upgrading to ESLint 10, files that start with an environment comment fail linting:

error: /* eslint-env */ comments are no longer supported at file.js:1:1:
> 1 | /* eslint-env node -- Used in Node.js */
    | ^

Agents (and older tutorials) often add /* eslint-env browser, node */ or /* eslint-env jest */ to silence no-undef for globals.

Cause

eslint-env comments belonged to the eslintrc system. Flat config (default since v9) silently ignored them; ESLint v10.0.0 (2026-02-06) now reports them as errors.

Verify

grep -rn 'eslint-env' src returns nothing and npx eslint . reports no no-undef for the platform globals.
