module.exports = {
	root: true,

<script lang="ts">
	const mySnippetInDisguise = mySnippet;
</script>

{#snippet mySnippet()}
	<p>Hello World!</p>
{/snippet}

{@render mySnippetInDisguise()}

What did you expect to happen?

No errors.

What actually happened?

ESLint reported two contractory errors:

  • Line 2:22 reported an error: 'mySnippet' is not defined (no-undef).
  • Line 5:11 reported an error: 'mySnippet' is defined but never used (@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars).

Additional comments

My initial assumption is that snippets in Svelte 5 act like hoisted functions. However, it appears that ESLint does not recognize them as such. As a result, when these snippets are utilized within a <script> tag, ESLint mistakenly identifies them as undefined. Moreover, following their declaration, ESLint incorrectly marks them as unused.
