Couldn't start client Laravel blade lsp

[furopi]

I get the following error:

[Error - 12:51:21 PM] Starting client failed Launching server using command c:\DevTools\code-insiders\data\extensions\haringsbe-haringsrob.laravel-blade-livewire-lsp-1.2.1\laravel-dev-tools failed.

Am I missing something or am I doing something wrong in the setup?

Thank you very much!

Kind regards, Florian

Hey @furopi,

I have not really used this with vscode lately. The code may be out of date and need to be build from scratch in order to work.

[haringsrob]

Most likely this will be an issue with a laravel version mismatch.

[furopi]

To me it looks like Windows doesn't know how to execute the binary file "laravel-dev-tools" in the extension. How can I tell windows to execute this file with the php interpreter or any file beginning with "#!/usr/bin/env php"?

Thank you! 🙃

[haringsrob]

Oof, good question, I honestly do not know :). Have you considered using docker WSL using vscode remote?

[haringsrob]

Closing this for now, I feel vscode remote is the way to go until I somehow make an executable for windows (if ever). This is a non goal at this stage of the project.

[furopi]

@haringsrob You actually don't need to compile a new version, you just have to execute the file with the PHP interpreter. And maybe add a settings option to specifiy the PHP executable path for systems where it is not included in the path variable.

It's kind of sad that there is no Windows support, what should be an easy fix :_(

And no, WSL is cool and so on, but it's not an option for me as it messes up my entire setup. Also it's much slower to access native Windows filesystem via WSL, and that's where all my projects are stored... Sorry

[haringsrob]

Hey @furopi I am open to a PR if you have an idea on how to add support.

[furopi]

Well I'm not familiar with you code, @haringsrob , neither with github PR's but what you need to change is executing the devtools binary with "php laravel-dev-tools" instead of "./laravel-dev-tools" when running on Windows. At least from what I have tested the devtools binary runs fine than...

Hope I could help here in a little way!

As far as I can see it's the line 12 in the extension.ts which reads like: const cmd = context.asAbsolutePath('laravel-dev-tools') as any; should be like

let cmd = context.asAbsolutePath('laravel-dev-tools') as any;
if(windows) {
     cmd = "php " + cmd;
}
