Description

Since eslint-plugin-import 2.15.0 the following Eslint configuration

settings: {
    'import/resolver': {
      'babel-module': {
        cwd: __dirname,
        alias: {
          $shared: '../shared',
          '~': '.'
        }
      }
    }
  }

  ×   8:38  Relative imports from parent directories are not allowed. Please either pass what you're importing through at runtime (dependency injection), move cli.js to same directory as $shared/kiosk-ui-message-file-reader or consider making $shared/kiosk-ui-message-file-reader a package.    import/no-relative-parent-imports

Is this new behavior intended?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the code for the no relative parent imports rule and the babel module resolver to understand how aliases are resolved. Check the changelog and git history for version 2.15.0 to identify the commit that changed behavior. Then adjust the rule to skip the check when the import is resolved via an alias that expands to a relative parent path.
