Tip : you can use npx 😃 (if you have npm > 5.2, you have npx)

npx stylelint "**/*.scss" --fix

Autofixing is available for a limited amount of rules. What rules exactly aren’t autofixed?

Additionally, can you confirm that you are definitely running version 8.1.1 and that you don’t have an older version installed globally e.g. npm -g uninstall stylelint.

Problem found & fixed 😃 I uninstalled the global version and now things work. for future researchers: the command to use local should be similar to

./node_modules/stylelint/bin/stylelint.js "**/*.scss" --fix

Trying npx stylelint "foo/*.css" --fix Doesn’t work. Windows 8.1, VS Code. NPM installed locally.

Good stuff! I’m glad you got it working. The local/global install stuff does pop-up occasionally and I just remembered it.

NPM should move the executable to a .bin folder for you, and so the following should suffice to run the local package:

./node_modules/.bin/stylelint "**/*.scss" --fix
