Expected {count} empty line{line_suffix} after {keyword} sta

Error message

Expected {count} empty line{line_suffix} after {keyword} statement not followed by another {keyword}.

What it means

Fires from import/newline-after-import when an import statement or require() call is not followed by the configured number of empty lines before subsequent code. The helper pluralizes 'line' from the count and interpolates whether the statement was an import or require; the labeled span covers the offending statement.

Solutions

1. Add the expected blank line(s) after the import or require statement
2. Adjust the `count` option if a different spacing is preferred
