Argument list too long; env multiplies with windows

[skjbulcher]

I have an issue that I am trying to troubleshoot:

Failed to start LSP-copilot - disabling for this window for the duration of the current session.
Re-enable by running "LSP: Enable Language Server In Project" from the Command Palette.

--- Error:---
[Errno 7] Argument list too long: '/home/[myuser]/.cache/sublime-text/Package Storage/lsp_utils/node-runtime/18.18.1/node/bin/node'

This issue most frequently occurs when I open a Sublime Text new window. However, it does occasionally occur in code windows as well. Today I had to find and click on the error quite a few times in order to access Sublime Text, which is a problem.

While I was searching around for ways to troubleshoot the issue, I discovered this when running LSP: Troubleshoot Server:

Note that I keep a lot of windows and tabs open in Sublime Text from time to time.

Running "LSP: Dump Window Configs" yielded this result for env:

env={'PATH': '/home/[myuser]/.cache/sublime-text/Package Storage/lsp_utils/node-runtime/18.18.1/node/bin:/home/[myuser]/.cache/sublime-text/Package Storage/lsp_utils/node-runtime/18.18.1/node/bin:/home/[myuser]/.cache/sublime-text/Package Storage/lsp_utils/node-runtime/18.18.1/node/bin:/home/[myuser]/.cache/sublime-text/Package Storage/lsp_utils/node-runtime/18.18.1/node/bin:/home/[myuser]/.cache/sublime-text/Package Storage/lsp_utils/node-runtime/18.18.1/node/bin:/home/[myuser]/.cache/sublime-text/Package Storage/lsp_utils/node-runtime/18.18.1/node/bin:'}

Depending on the window, the env is repeated more or less. I suspect that each window appends to the env, without any duplication.

I don't know if the "argument list too long" issue has anything to do with the environment, but even if it isn't the env could be handled better.

Can you open Sublime Text in safe mode and then open the console and run

import os; print(os.environ["PATH"])

And could you just run LSP: Troubleshoot Server for LSP-copilot and paste the result here?

I have found the culprit is in lsp_utils. I will file a PR there soon.

Note that I keep a lot of windows

This triggers the bug.

The upstream has merged the fix so we just have to wait for its new release.
