Eslint in React not correcting errors - reactjs

Question

I am working on a project that runs on node 10, "react": "^17.0.1".
"react-scripts": "^4.0.1",
On each project start is shows many warnings, for example usage o == instead of ===, etc.
Here is part of the scripts, start original, the other 3 added by me trying to find a solution:
"scripts": {
"start": "env-cmd -f .env.dev --use-shell \"react-scripts start\"",
"lint": "eslint src --ext .js,.jsx",
"lint:fix": "npm run lint -- --fix",
"eslint": "eslint \"src/**/*.{js,jsx}\" --fix"
},
I wanted to run eslint to automatically fix warnings. I tried the commands:
eslint "src/**/*.{js,jsx}" --fix
npm run eslint;
npm run lint
No matter what command I run I get such error message:
✖ 312 problems (3 errors, 309 warnings)
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! company#1.0.0 lint: `eslint src --ext .js,.jsx`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the company#1.0.0 lint script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Or:

in the package.json there is this info:
"eslintConfig": {
"extends": [
"react-app"
]
},
No eslink packages installed in package.json - is should be using the react-scripts embedded eslint.
Does anybody have a clue how to make eslint fix a plenty of warnings nobody cared about?
EDIT:
Maybe this error appears after the list of warning, because in the middle there are also few errors such as:
here path to the file
10:41 error React Hook "useState" is called in function "betaBanner" that is neither a React function component nor a custom React Hook function. React component names must start with an uppercase letter react-hooks/rules-of-hooks
EDIT 2:
Yes, after I manually corrected the two errors it now writes in yellow ✖ 309 problems (0 errors, 309 warnings) and the error at the end disappeared.

Answer 1

Sometimes reinstalling the node_modules fixes such issues for me.
These are the steps I follow:
Clean npm cache : npm cache clean --force
Delete the node_modules folder and package-lock.json file.
Do a fresh package install : npm install
Start project : npm start
For VS Code, you can try adding these settings in your VS Code settings.json
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.fixAll.eslint": true,
"source.fixAll.tslint": true,
"source.fixAll.stylelint": true
},

Answer 2

Add this config to your .eslintrc configuration file
"react-hooks/exhaustive-deps": [
"warn",
{
"enableDangerousAutofixThisMayCauseInfiniteLoops": true
}
]
