Doesn't seem to work with WSL and/or pnpm

I'm trying to set up a new project with oxc, but I'm having problems with the WebStorm plugin. It throws the following error:

This is my first time trying to set up oxc, but I'm pretty sure I've done everything I should have, and the file it complains about (\\wsl.localhost\Debian\path\to\my\project\node_modules\oxlint\bin\oxc_language_server) does exist and is executable. It is however in a symlinked directory, as pnpm creates the oxlint directory as a symlink to .pnpm/oxlint@1.24.0/node_modules/oxlint, which I suspect is why the plugin can't find the file.

Not sure if this is a WSL issue or a pnpm issue, or both.

Plugin version 0.0.18
WebStorm 2025.2.3
Windows 11 with Debian on WSL2

Tested pnpm/macOS with https://github.com/oxc-project/oxc-intellij-plugin/tree/main/sandbox/nested-configs and didn't have any issues. Could you try WSL with NPM to see if that works? My guess is that it won't and WSL isn't working correctly.

I don't have any WSL experience though or access to it, so it probably won't be easy for me to fix myself.
