Eslint in Visual Studio 2017 fails when the JS file contains `async` or `const`

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2017 and eslint 2.0 (I assume), which is built into Visual Studio.

Eslint works fine except when the JS file contains ES6 features such as async and const. In this case, the Error List window in Visual Studio remains empty and there are no eslint messages displayed. It seems that eslint just fails silently when it stumbles upon a file with those keywords.

Eslint must support ES6 and I also enabled ES6 in the .eslintrc file.

I am not sure how to see the output from eslint to see if there's any error, because Visual Studio runs it in the background.

How do I run eslint in Visual Studio when my JS file contains ES6 features?

Here's my .eslintrc:
