Unable to repro against master.

Likely you have an old version installed.

Otherwise - please provide a repro repo and we can look into it.

Same issue here:

"@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^4.14.1",
"@typescript-eslint/parser": "^4.14.1"

@Brooooooklyn - not to be rude - but that's a pretty useless comment as it doesn't add anything to this issue.
It doesn't provide any additional information - no repro, no code sample. It contains just a copy paste from a package.json.

All it does is create noise.

If you're able to repro it yourself - follow my previous comment:

please provide a repro repo so that we can look into it.

@bradzacher here is a repo to reproduce.
chunghha/nest-gql@1978ca7
"yarn lint" with the 4.13.0 throws no warnings/errors but with the 4.14.1 throws two warnings.

nest-gql/src/country/country.resolver.ts
2:10 warning 'Observable' is defined but never used @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars
4:10 warning 'Country' is defined but never used @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars

✖ 2 problems (0 errors, 2 warnings)

✨ Done in 4.41s.

@bradzacher Maybe some effects of the TS version? I apologize, but when testing version 4.14.1, I mistakenly reported that TS 4.0.5 was used, but in reality, it was 4.1.3. Version 4.1.3 is also used in the repro @chunghha mentioned above.

Likely you have an old version installed.

No, I used version 4.14.1.

@chunghha My case is very similar, but it's not actually in the public repo, so I think your repro is enough for the problem reproduction at this moment. If it would be necessary, I can create a simple public demo of it also.

Can confirm that the issue is still there. Use https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail/tree/wip to repro if needed (wip branch, yarn lint runs linting).
"@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "4.14.1",
"@typescript-eslint/parser": "4.14.1",
"typescript": "4.1.3",

I can also confirm this.

    "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^4.14.1",
    "@typescript-eslint/parser": "^4.14.1",
    "@vue/eslint-config-standard": "6.0.0",
    "@vue/eslint-config-typescript": "7.0.0",
    "typescript": "4.1.3",

Cool! With @chunghha's repro case I'm able to reproduce this now.

The issue is only occurring for users that are using type-aware linting AND are using emitDecoratorMetadata.

This highlights the value of providing as much detail as possible in the initial post and in follow up comments.
In this instance - I was unable to repro this because what was required was both the ESLint config and TS config.

The more information you can give when you file an issue - the more likely it is that the maintainer can look into it sooner.

The OP contained minimal information - two one-line code fragments, and that was it.
Which meant that I could not reproduce it.

If they had provided their configs (ESLint and TS), then I wouldn't have had to wait for others to provide a repro.

Never be afraid to dump as much info as you have. All of it. Just dump it.
It's much better to sift through information to find what's relevant, rather than get no information and have to burn time on a back-and-forth asking for more info.

@bradzacher You are right on 100%. The same arguments I am using in other projects. 👍 But you know, the one thing is what you know, and the other is to keep it on 100% on each step. So, thank you for your patience to all of you.

@bradzacher , thanks for the update. Just tested setting the emitDecoratorMetadata: false and the symptom disappears. Unfortunately I cannot use this solution as our code base does contain code that relies on reflection and without the emitDecoratorMetadata we will likely have some bugs around the app.
Is there anything I can provide to help?

Cheers and thanks for the prompt replies.

This has been fixed in #2975.
This will release to the latest tag on NPM next Monday (Feb 1st) as per our release schedule.

If you need it ASAP, it has also been released to the canary tag on NPM (4.14.2-alpha.1)
To install it:

$ npm i @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin@canary @typescript-eslint/parser@canary

# or

$ yarn add @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin@canary @typescript-eslint/parser@canary

4.14.2-alpha.1 appears to be working. Thanks.

The final version of 4.14.2 works as expected.

Thanks.

We have still the same issue in our Angular project.

constructor(
    public IsMobile: IsMobile,
    private DialogsService: DialogsService,
    private UiState: UiState,
    private WindowRef: WindowRef,
    ....
  ) {

IsMobile, DialogsService, UiState and WindowRef are reported as no-unused-vars.

{
    "typescript": "4.1.3",
    "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "4.14.1",
    "@typescript-eslint/parser": "4.14.1",
    "eslint-import-resolver-typescript": "^2.3.0",
}

I am still having this problem happen in multiple files. Here is one example:

@kmaraz @vegerot As explained above, there are several scenarios and conditions under which your problem can persist.

So it's crucial to have a simple reproduction project to demonstrate the concrete case 100%. It really helps a lot and also allows eliminating the problem as fast as possible. So invest the necessary time to create it. Thanks.

With such info, this closed issue should be re-open or a new one created.

@kmaraz thanks for taking care of this for us ❤️

@mlc-mlapis sorry for not having a repo. Here it is: https://github.com/kmaraz/no-unused-vars-issue
I'll show you the issue in the pictures:

This works as the class property thisWorks has different name from the Test.

This does not work, as the class property Test has the same name as Test import.
Hope it helps! :)

@kmaraz Can you confirm that your case didn't have a problem with version 4.13.0?

@mlc-mlapis Yes, I confirm. It worked.

@bradzacher It looks like that there is one special case, where @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars is falsy positive (and is probably also related to the context, what is the variable name and what is the type/interface/namespace/... name, because in this case, they are the same, but it's allowed in TS in general).

#2972 (comment)

The showed repro has been working correctly in 4.13.0.

Please open a new issue.
That issue is unrelated to this one.

New issue: #2994

no - you just have misconfigured.
make sure you read our FAQs and documentation before commenting or raising an issue.

@bradzacher I was wondering if you knew if my issue I describe here (vuejs/vue-cli#3145) is from a bug in vue or a bug in consistent-type-imports. Appreciate the assistance, thanks

please file a new issue, as it is unrelated to this closed issue
