[Bug] Extension seems to be not registered in VSCode

[she11sh0cked]

Description

1. Launching a kotlin debug configuration results in the following error message:

   Couldn't find a debug adapter descriptor for debug type 'kotlin' (extension might have failed to activate)

   And the following error in the developer tools console:

   ERR timeout after 1000 ms: Error: timeout after 1000 ms
     at t.RawDebugSession.handleErrorResponse (file:///C:/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:3061:355)
     at file:///C:/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:3060:679
     at async t.RawDebugSession.shutdown (file:///C:/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:3058:772)

2. Running "Kotlin: Restart the Language Server" from the Command Palette results in the following error message:

   Command 'Kotlin: Restart the Language Server' resulted in an error (command kotlin.languageServer.restart' not found)

   (the same error is also in developer tools console)

Additional context

There is also no mention of kotlin in my Extension Host log

Reproducing

1. 1. Create the following debug configuration:

      {
          "version": "0.2.0",
          "configurations": [
              {
                  "type": "kotlin",
                  "request": "launch",
                  "name": "Kotlin Launch",
                  "projectRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
                  "mainClass": "path.to.your.MainClassKt"
              },
          ]
      }

   2. Launch the configuration

   3. See error

2. 1. Run "Kotlin: Restart the Language Server" from the Command Palette
   2. See error

Environment

Extension: 0.2.11
VSCode: 1.45.0 microsoft/vscode@d69a79b73808559a91206d73d7717ff5f798f23c
OS: Microsoft Windows 10.0.18363

Issue solved by first reinstalling VSCode (also deleting %userprofile%/.vscode and %appdata%/Code) and then opening a .kt file. This triggered the installation of the language- and debug server. (Strangly this did only work after reinstalling VSCode)

I'm keeping this issue open because it isn't documented, that you need to open a .kt file to install the the language- and debug server

Well... I was too fast to comment. It didn't work anymore after I synced my extensions with settings sync.

I get this error in the Developer Tools console after i install or uninstall the vscode-kotlin extension:

I went through and checked every extension in my list. The following extensions resulted in vscode-kotlin not working:

• mikestead.dotenv
• richardwillis.vscode-gradle

[bleper-shoprunner]

I can confirm that the vscode-gradle extension collides with this one. Looks like we can either have Gradle, or Kotlin. :)

[she11sh0cked]

I also have a problem of code beeing duplicated when formatting

[zrno]

any movement here? Is the gradle extension creator aware of this issue?

[she11sh0cked]

I switched to developing kotlin under a wsl / ubuntu setup. The extensions works (mostly) as expected under these conditions. Last time i checked the the code duplication and gradle issues were no more, but dependencies weren't resolved.

After reading through the comments of this issue, I almost believed I'd have to completely reinstall VSCode. Fortunately, after reading through the console in VSCode's developer tools, I noticed logs stating something along the lines of "Debugger disabled because kotlin.debugAdapter.enabled was set to false". I went to my settings.json to investigate. Sure enough, it was set to false, but right above it, kotlin.languageServer.enabled was also set to false!

So, I set both to true. Immediately after enabling, it instantly kicked into action, even with richardwillis.vscode-gradle installed. Thinking back, I think I did skip over some initial prompts the extension gave me. Although it is very weird it would have set it to false over just skipping some introductory notification. So, before reinstalling and scrapping all your VSCode configs, try changing that setting to true. :)

+1 for @danii's solution!
