Problems with executing the extension

[jakobjung10]

Hello!

I am having problems with installing rust_hdl_vscode. I cloned the repository, but I am facing errors when i execute the extension. My first guess would be that i am missing some files, that are required for execution.

I know that the rust_hdl_vscode repository is mainly responsible for the VS Code extension and the actual language Server is on the rust_hdl repository.

I am also a little bit confused by the paths in the extension.ts file.

const languageServerDir = ctx.asAbsolutePath( path.join('server', 'vhdl_ls') );

languageServer = path.join( 'server', 'vhdl_ls', languageServerVersion, languageServerName, 'bin', languageServerBinaryName + (isWindows ? '.exe' : '') );

In the above code samples from the extension.ts file, the path includes a folder named 'server', but i can't find a folder with this name in the extension. Is this something that should be automatically created or rather be manually created?

I am very new to the topic and would be grateful, if someone could explain how to get the extension running and files i am missing etc. I am interested in the project, but haven't found any proper documentation yet.

PS: my goal is to integrate the language server in an own small extension

The extension downloads the latest language server from github release artifacts. In that way the server is always up to date without having to republish the extension itself.

When i execute the extension, i get an error. "The preLaunchTask 'npm: webpack' terminated with exit code 1.". By pressing "Debug anyway", i get the errors like below:

Activating extension 'hbohlin.vhdl-ls' failed: Cannot find module 'c:\Users\Jakob\Documents\GitHub\rust_hdl_vscode\dist\extension' Require stack: - c:\Users\Jakob\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\loader.js - c:\Users\Jakob\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\bootstrap-amd.js - c:\Users\Jakob\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\bootstrap-fork.js - .

So in my case, the extension doesn't work by default...

Furthermore, the terminal-output is:

Node.js v18.14.1

I would suspect the nodejs version. The CI pipeline uses version 16.

That solved the problem for me. Thank you very much! :)
