Eslint not showing warnings - React

Question

On my new project, ESLint is not outputting warnings like before, I'm using VSCode. If I have an unsed var somewhere in my code, it doesn't show the warning in the terminal output anymore. Only in the problem tab.

Here's my eslint config file:

.eslintrc.json

{
  "env": {
      "browser": true,
      "es6": true
  },
  "extends": [
      "plugin:react/recommended",
      "airbnb-typescript",
      "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
      "plugin:@typescript-eslint/eslint-recommended",
      "prettier/@typescript-eslint",
      "plugin:prettier/recommended"
  ],
  "globals": {
      "Atomics": "readonly",
      "SharedArrayBuffer": "readonly"
  },
  "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  "parserOptions": {
      "ecmaFeatures": {
          "jsx": true
      },
      "ecmaVersion": 2018,
      "sourceType": "module",
      "project": "./tsconfig.json"
  },
  "plugins": [
      "react",
      "react-hooks",
      "@typescript-eslint",
      "prettier"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "prettier/prettier": "error",
    "react-hooks/rules-of-hooks":"error",
    "react-hooks/exhaustive-deps": "warn",
    "camelcase": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/camelcase": "off",
    "react/jsx-filename-extension": [1, {"extensions": [".tsx"]}],
    "import/prefer-default-export": "off",
    "react/jsx-one-expression-per-line": "off",
    "react/jsx-props-no-spreading": "off",
    "react/prop-types": "off",
    "no-unused-expressions": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": "error",
    "@typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type": [
      "error",
      {
        "allowExpressions": true
      }
    ],
    "import/extensions": [
      "error",
      "ignorePackages",
      {
        "ts": "never",
        "tsx": "never"
      }
    ],
    "semi":"off"
  },
  "settings": {
    "import/resolver": {
      "typescript": {}
    }
  }
}

and Here is my package.json devDependencies:

package.json

  "dependencies": {
    ...,
    "react": "^17.0.1",
    "react-dom": "^17.0.1",
    "react-scripts": "^4.0.2"
  }
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/react-router-dom": "^5.1.7",
    "@types/styled-components": "^5.1.7",
    "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^4.14.2",
    "@typescript-eslint/parser": "^4.14.2",
    "eslint": "^7.19.0",

  }

You can check if ESLint works correctly by directly invoking the command ./node_modules/.bin/eslint .. This way you'll get more helpful error messages if there are any. Also, make sure to check if you have multiple configuration files. Have a look at this ESLint Documentation page to make sure, your configuration is the only (or the one with the highest priority).

If there are multiple configuration files in the same directory, ESLint will only use one. The priority order is as follows:

1. .eslintrc.js
2. .eslintrc.cjs
3. .eslintrc.yaml
4. .eslintrc.yml
5. .eslintrc.json
6. package.json
