Hi!

I found a bug, please take a look, thanks!

npx eslint src_site/pages/HomePage.js

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 8.8.0

TypeError: Error while loading rule 'react/prefer-stateless-function': Cannot read properties of null (reading 'version')

In .eslintrc I have:
"settings": {
"react": {
"version": "latest"
}
}

With version: "17.0.2" it doesn't throw this error.

Thanks, fix incoming.

Actually, the issue is that "latest" is an invalid value. It supports a semver version range, or "detect". "latest" is not a semver range, it's just an npm tag.

I'll try to improve the error message here, and avoid a crash, but you'll still need to fix your eslint config.

v7.29.1 is released.
