Using a local eslint makes node load a shell script

Running windows 10, sublime text 3, ESLint-Formatter 2.1.1.

I just created an empty project and installed eslint locally. I have auto-format turned on on ESLint-Formatter config.

Seemingly 1 in 5 saves, eslint tries to load from the local eslint, and the other 4 it uses global. I assume this is probably #17 causing it to not always find the local eslint.

Whenever it uses the global eslint, it loads node with %APPDATA%/npm/node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint which is a Javascript file, and works great. However…

Whenever it uses the local eslint, it loads node with node_modules/.bin/eslint which is a shell file, and causes this to pop up as an error message:

Unexpected error(<class 'Exception'>): Error: <project>\node_modules\.bin\eslint:2
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")
          ^^^^^^^

I’d suggest looking for node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint for local installations instead.

For me, on windows, it’s a shell script:

#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  "$basedir/node"  "$basedir/../eslint/bin/eslint.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
else 
  node  "$basedir/../eslint/bin/eslint.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
fi
exit $ret

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable approach, thanks.
