ENOENT running JS linter

[richardlau]

Seeing this on both the Jenkins CI and GitHub Actions:
e.g. https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-linter/50063/console (from yesterday's daily build)

08:00:20 + make lint-ci PYTHON=python3
08:00:20 Running JS linter...

#48328 looks like the culprit -- the "lint-js-and-md" workflow has the same error for 1b4ce69 but the error doesn't occur for e30e716 which is the preceding landed PR on main.

The error is not causing the CI to actually fail.

happens to me locally as well

as a workaround locally I added a file with an empty json called package.json to the root

I guess it works but it will print the error: gajus/eslint-plugin-jsdoc#1117, this was just added in the latest https://github.com/gajus/eslint-plugin-jsdoc/releases/tag/v46.2.6
I think it is possible to disable it gajus/eslint-plugin-jsdoc#1118

Updating eslint-plugin-jsdoc appears to fix this.
