1950917 - eslint's `--setup` switch seems to run the linter instead of setting it up

Status: NEW

(Developer Infrastructure :: Lint and Formatting, defect)

Description

[Robin Steuber (she/her) [:bytesized] (Out until April 4)]

I'm pretty confident that ./mach eslint --setup used to make sure eslint was properly installed. The --help text seems to indicate that it should. But it doesn't seem to work. Instead it does this:

> ./mach eslint --setup
warning: linting the entire repo takes a long time, using --outgoing and --workdir instead. If you want to lint the entire repo, run `./mach lint .`

But I don't want it to lint anything. I just want it to check that my linter configuration is up-to-date.

This is on Windows, if that matters.
