Failed to load the ESLint library for the document when eslint is installed by yarn

See original GitHub issue

I’m seeing Failed to load the ESLint library for the document when eslint is installed by yarn. I have configured the following -

🐍 $ yarn global add eslint
yarn global v1.1.0
[1/4] 🔍  Resolving packages...

~/.config/yarn/global

To find the node path I did -

🐮 $ which node
/Users/junger/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.3/bin/node

And then in settings.json set the following

"eslint.nodePath": "/Users/junger/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.3/bin/node",

Then I receive this error message -

[Info  - 06:27:58] 
Failed to load the ESLint library for the document /Users/junger/dev/stanley/shedview/configurator/src/middleware/analytics-middleware.js

To use ESLint please install eslint by running 'npm install eslint' in the workspace folder stanley
or globally using 'npm install -g eslint'. You need to reopen the workspace after installing eslint.

Alternatively you can disable ESLint for the workspace folder stanley by executing the 'Disable ESLint' command.

Is yarn installation of eslint supported?

Argh looks like this setting fixed it -

"eslint.packageManager": "yarn",

Maybe it could just autodetect / try both?

Someone stumbling upon this problem in 2021: Add following to .vscode/settings.json

 "eslint.nodePath": ".yarn/sdks",
 "npm.packageManager": "yarn",

And also, add @yarnpkg/sdks to your dependencies

yarn add @yarnpkg/sdks --dev

And then:

yarn sdks vscode vim

Should wrap the ESLint with pnp.js supplied properly. Please restart VS code afterwards.
