Error: The package "@esbuild/darwin-arm64" could not be found, and is needed by esbuild.

I get the "Error: The package "@esbuild/darwin-arm64" could not be found, and is needed by esbuild." error (thrown in the tsslint.config.ts file on the first line at import when trying to set up tsslint in a repo managed by Yarn.

This is my package:

 "dependencies": {
        "@esbuild/darwin-arm64": "0.17.19",
        "esbuild": "^0.17.19",
        "@tsslint/config": "^1.4.6",
        "@tsslint/eslint": "^1.4.6",

I can also clearly see it in my node_modules:

And I also tried running npm -g i esbuild, which didn't resolve the issue either. Where is tsslint trying to load esbuild from? My VSC workspace is the root (e.g. where package.json and tsslint.config.ts are).

TSSLint VSC version: 1.4.6

Where did you see this error? TSSLint extension does not use esbuild in your project. When the extension is started for the first time, it will run node_modules/esbuild/install.js in the TSSLint extension directory, and then install @esbuild/darwin-arm64 to the node_modules of TSSLint extension directory through npm install.

Maybe you have a corrupt @esbuild/darwin-arm64 installed for some reason, please try if this solves the problem.

1. Uninstall TSSLint extension.
2. Close VSCode completely. (Make sure VSCode clears uninstalled extensions)
3. Open VSCode and reinstall the TSSLint extension. The esbuild installation should now be performed again.

Did that - didn't fix it:

Interesting, when I do it manually in the install folder, I get this:

node node_modules/esbuild/install.js
[esbuild] Failed to find package "@esbuild/darwin-arm64" on the file system

This can happen if you use the "--no-optional" flag. The "optionalDependencies"
package.json feature is used by esbuild to install the correct binary executable
for your current platform. This install script will now attempt to work around
this. If that fails, you need to remove the "--no-optional" flag to use esbuild.

[esbuild] Trying to install package "@esbuild/darwin-arm64" using npm

and no other log. It doesn't install it. Manually doing npm i @esbuild/darwin-arm64 works.

1. What is the size of this file?
   • ~/.vscode/extensions/johnsoncodehk.vscode-tsslint-1.4.6/node_modules/esbuild/bin/esbuild
2. Do these two files exist?
   • ~/.vscode/extensions/johnsoncodehk.vscode-tsslint-1.4.6/node_modules/esbuild/lib/downloaded-@esbuild-darwin-arm64-esbuild
   • ~/.vscode/extensions/johnsoncodehk.vscode-tsslint-1.4.6/node_modules/esbuild/install.js

I currently have no idea about this problem. This is the extension installation package with built-in @esbuild/darwin-arm64 (use VSCode "Developer: Install Extension from Location..." command to install)

vscode-tsslint-1.4.6 (@esbuild/darwin-arm64).vsix.zip

If you have any clues please let me know, thanks.

I wonder if my node version manager breaks this mechanism or something.
Running npm i @esbuild/darwin-arm64 from CLI works as expected in that folder (and then also makes tsslint work)
