eslint not working until I restart atom

Issue Description

After I run the command npx eslint --init successfully to get a eslintrc file, I have to close Atom and open it again in order to see eslint errors in the editor.
I thought that the only requirement for eslint to work was to re-open js files. But that's not the case.
Also when I try to run Linter Eslint: Debug from the Command Palette inside Atom before closing and opening Atom, I will get "Type error Path must be a string. Received undefined"

Bug Checklist

• Restart Atom
• Verify the eslint CLI gives the proper result, while linter-eslint does not
• Paste the output of the Linter Eslint: Debug command from the Command Palette below
