🐞 Bug report

Description

Whenever I open my VS Code with the webhint extension enabled, I get greeted with the following message: “Ensure node and npm are installed to enable webhint to analyze source files.” As you can see in the attached screenshot, I indeed have both installed, however the extension does not work.

Hi @robinloeffel,

Thanks for reporting this, I'll take a look. As a workaround you can use the Microsoft Edge Devtools extension for VSCCode. Webhint is part of it and could potentially solve your issue. Just please uninstall the webhint extension first as having both could lead to undesired behavior (we also have an open bug for this).

Same here. To add details, I installed n via homebrew, which locates node's binary to: /opt/homebrew/bin/node
