Hi folks,

I several time during using VS Code see error like this:

Failed to load eslint library. Please install eslint in your workspace folder using ‘npm install eslint’ or globally using ‘npm install -g eslint’ and then pres

Of course i`ve tried to install it locally and globally as well, but no result - still the same error. My OS - Windows 10. Version of VS Code - 0.10.8

Does somebody has the same issue and maybe you have thoughts how to fix it? Thanks.

The ESLint extension has currently no support for globally install eslint module via yarn. I opened: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-eslint/issues/187

After chsh -s /bin/zsh, reboot the mac osx, then the vscode will detect the default shell to ‘zsh’, then the global installed ‘eslint’ will be found.

I have a different case but with the same error. By the way I tested my project that is using eslint is it is working for me (I installed it locally).

My case is when opening a project that does not have package.json, eslint not installed, and there are no.eslintrcor.eslintrc.*in the project. In this case thevscode-eslint` should not be activated.
