ESLint version

8.28.0

What problem do you want to solve?

Hi from JetBrains! WebStorm ESLint integration has a wrapper Node.js process that lives for a long time and calls ESLint.lintText() as needed. ESLint config files might be edited between ESLint.lintText() calls.

In the 'flat config' mode, the eslint.config.js files are never re-read from disk. The reason is that they are loaded using import(), which caches the result forever.

So, the problem is that the ESLint results that WebStorm users see do not match the current configuration (eslint.config.js files).

Cleaning require.cache doesn't help. It looks like there's no way to drop the internal cache of import().

What do you think is the correct solution?

It would be great if the loadFlatConfigFile() function returned up-to-date result each time even if the config file has been edited between loadFlatConfigFile() invocations. Thank you!
