Eslint cannot read config file

Question

I am setting up my first eslint. For some reason in other computers it works except on mine ..

Im using VScode

As soon as I open my editor I get the following message: Cannot read config file: /Users/user/Documents/repos/project/C:/mydirectory/.eslintrc.json Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open Source: ESLint (Extension)

.eslintrc.json is on my root directory.

This is my config file:

This is my package.json

}

I've tried several things, including: adding { "root": true }, opening from project, installing/uninstalling eslint extension

It looks like this relates to VSCode, the configuration file should be setup with a path to your config. See the guide here

The eslintOptions.configFile should be an absolute path to your config file.
