console.log causes a "EPERM: operation not permitted, write" in Atom editor

[sompylasar]

The bug has since been reported in several places but the cause is using console.log unsafely in the eslint-plugin-react.

• Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, write AtomLinter/linter-eslint#579 (closed because the AtomLinter team cannot do anything with that)
• the rule "react/jsx-quotes" is deprecated, please revise it to "jsx-quotes" #416 (comment) (closed because the issue was not stated properly, or simply comments on closed issues were ignored)
• react/require-extension is deprecated airbnb/javascript#978 (comment) (can't be fixed in eslint-config-airbnb yet because of other dependencies)

Here's the exception that pops up in Atom:

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, write
    at Error (native)
    at Object.fs.writeSync (fs.js:706:20)
    at SyncWriteStream.write (fs.js:2064:6)

Here's one of the faulty lines:
https://github.com/yannickcr/eslint-plugin-react/blob/v3.16.1/lib/rules/jsx-quotes.js#L52

      /* eslint-disable no-console */
      console.log('The react/jsx-quotes rule is deprecated. Please use the jsx-quotes rule instead.');
      /* eslint-enable no-console */
      isWarnedForDeprecation = true;

There are more occurences of this pattern:
https://github.com/yannickcr/eslint-plugin-react/blob/e84af68a3bf48c9a34f14e73a8b4dc1ed7488bab/lib/rules/require-extension.js#L103

        /* eslint-disable no-console */
        console.log('The react/require-extension rule is deprecated. Please ' +
                    'use the import/extensions rule from eslint-plugin-import instead.');
        /* eslint-enable no-console */
        isWarnedForDeprecation = true;

Please consider wrapping console.log in a try..catch or removing it entirely, because the eslint plugin is supposed to run in a multitude of environments without errors, but implying a valid console is an unreasonably strict requirement.

This is a node module. It is meant to run in node, which has console. It is a perfectly valid requirement. There is no unsafe way to use console methods in a node module.

Thanks, that's the right place to fix it :-)
