Your logs from the vscode-haskell issue indicate that nix sets up HLS 1.5.1.0, which is outdated.

[HarmonicPool]

Well that's unfortunate since I should be using the last release

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or that I can do inorder to get the haskel-language-server v1.7.0.0?

[hasufell]

Well, I have no investment in nix. I've never used plutus-apps with it. But I've developed smart contracts with just using cabal. That should work fine with the appropriate cabal.project. I usually follow https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-starter/blob/main/cabal.project

setting up the project without ``nix``` solves the problem

hm, I don't have this issue with hls 1.5.1, nix and vscode. Did hls have the time to compile everything? there is progress status in the bottom stripe in vscode. Also maybe there is a compile issue earlier? As one can often get plutus-tx plugin errors (GHC Core to PLC plugin error).

[HarmonicPool]

yes I have lots of "GHC Core to PLC plugin error" and I have all the GHC-options specified in the plutus docs > troubleshooting > plugin errors

onestly I got used to them since when running cabal repl or cabal buld everything goes fine and any other error is showed with more priority in vscode

hls is compiled since I can use it by hand in the shell

We have switched to nix develop with newer versions of hls. Please re-open if there will be any problems with it.
