Package "esbuild-darwin-arm64" could not be found, and is needed by esbuild.

Hey, this package looks awesome. I think most of us have been waiting to preview React components right in our IDE for some time.

I do have a problem with installation of the Vs Code extension though. When trying to click to "Open preview" I get error: 'Package "esbuild-darwin-arm64" could not be found, and is needed by esbuild' in Vscode.

I am on an M1 Mac.

Have you encountered this before or know any way to correct it? Thank you so much.

Found this link that I may give a go later.

Hey @cole-robertson, I develop React Preview on an M1 Mac and haven't had that issue before!

What version of Node do you use? (node --version)

It's also possible that this is due to a bug that got fixed just a few hours ago in esbuild: https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/releases/tag/v0.13.4. You may need to delete ~/.vscode/extensions/zenclabs.reactpreview-0.7.1 before reinstalling so that React Preview can reinstall dependencies in a fresh state.

Ah great I seemed to fix it by clearing the node_modules manually rm -rf node_modules and then running npm install esbuild without the "--no-optional" flag.

Awesome! I'll see if I can reproduce and introduce a fix on my end :)

I had the same issue and cole's solution worked for me as well.

This method is particularly effective, thank you ~

Removing node_modules did not work for me, but forcing no caching in npm did npm install --force
