Problem description

Mason creates a bin file at ~/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin/typescript-language-server
It runs the code basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\,/,g')") to find the library cli.mjs.
This file is symlinked to ~/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/typescript-language-server/node_modules/.bin/typescript-language-server that works properly when run directly. However when run through the symlink it cannot find the library due to basedir not resolving to the correct directory.

Expected behavior

The script should resolve the directory properly even when called through a symlink,

Steps to reproduce

1. Install typescript-language-server through mason.
2. Attempt to attach to buffer

See #1315
Does running which npm return the path to the Windows npm and not the WSL one?

If so, make sure you have npm installed inside of WSL and that which npm points to the version inside WSL. See Install Node.js on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2)

Make sure to reinstall the typescript-language-server and other Mason packages that depend on node/npm afterwards
