cannot upgrade eslint to v9 due to eslint-plugin-react-hooks peer dependancies

[DeadEnglish]

eslint-plugin-react-hooks does not currently support the latest version on eslint, eslint@9.10.0

React version: 18.3.1

Steps To Reproduce

1. create a new react application
2. install eslint @ 8.56.0
3. install eslint-plugin-react-hooks @ 4.6.2
4. try to install eslint @ 9.10.0

Link to code example:

The current behavior

cannot install due to eslint-plugin-react-hooks only having eslint version 8 as a peer dependancy.

npm i output:

The expected behavior

ES lint is upgraded successfully

Seems like the changes have been added to the library here but a new version is yet to be released on NPM

You can install the eslint-plugin-react-hooks RC to get around this for now.

npm i eslint-plugin-react-hooks@rc

npm i eslint-plugin-react-hooks@rc

That doesn't work for me unfortunately. Any idea?

@nikolailehbrink your issue is with eslint-plugin-import. I don’t use it personally, but you could try see if they have an rc/beta/preview branch with eslint 9 support.

[bsShoham]

@nikolailehbrink you can also use eslint plugin perfectionist as it has a similar feature of import ordering to eslint-plugin-import, and supports eslint v9

thanks @bsal649, whilst using the release candidate as work around does indeed fix the issue (and may be useful for other projects), RCs seem to be updated daily. I'm mainly worried about platform stability and ideally require a stable release version for our application.
