Where is eslint installed? Local node_modules or globally? This error is saying it doesn't exist in either location. Also note you are running a limited supported node version for Esling-Watch. In the past I've found bugs like this occur and resolve before LTS.

./node_modules/.bin/eslint exists and is what I was thinking this package would use.

I just tried with node 16.13.2, same result

It should look in your project node_modules and then global. Can you try invoking esw within the context of npx, package.json scripts or yarn?

I am experiencing the same problem.

[rijulg]

you have to run it as

yarn  run esw

or

npm run esw

I am not sure why this works but directly calling the executable doesn't, but probably something to do with node setting up env vars.
