Hi @brovoca!

I'm confused about your extension version 2.21.1. Neither on the VS Code marketplace nor on Open VSX have we released such extension version. Where did you install it from?

[brovoca]

Hey @dbanck!

Oh, that's strange... Below are the details I am able to get from the extension, but now I see that Open VSX has 2.20.0 as the latest one... Please note I'm using VSCodium

Name: HashiCorp Terraform
Id: hashicorp.terraform
Description: Syntax highlighting and autocompletion for Terraform
Version: 2.21.1
Publisher: hashicorp
VS Marketplace Link: https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item?itemName=hashicorp.terraform

[brovoca]

Really strange, I uninstalled the extension and re-installed it, and now I have 2.20.0 and it's not crashing anymore.

I'm happy to hear that it's now working for you.

There were some problems regarding publishing platform-specific extensions back in May. But the affected versions were unpublished again. So do you remember when you first installed the extension, or is it somehow bundled with the editor?

We're hoping to publish the newest versions to Open VSX soon. However, in the meantime, you can update the Terraform language server manually as described here if you want to use the latest version.

Sorry Daniel, I have no clue when I installed/upgraded this extension. It might have been in May, but I can't be sure. It didn't come bundled at least. Thank you for your assistance!

[dbanck]

No problem! I'm going to close this for now, but if this is still an issue please respond and we'll re-open.

[dbanck]

Hi again,

I'm happy to report that the latest version 2.25.0 of the extension is now available on OpenVSX as well: https://open-vsx.org/extension/hashicorp/terraform

Future versions should be published automatically whenever we release an update.

[brovoca]

Superb! Thanks :D
