Missing optional components paths are considered as errors. #169

olaf-k commented 1 year ago

since Karen closed their "issue", I'm opening this one.

the extension seems to consider that some AutoIt utilities are always installed, which yields errors when you have a custom install. in my case, I didn't install Koda nor the wrapper, so I get these messages on every Code launch:

(I'm an occasional AutoIt user so I don't really know which utilities are optional though. but I'd be happy to help if you point me to the proper place in the code.)

This extension uses wrapper to run the scripts. In fact, it uses wrapper almost for everything, check syntax, show help, build executables, etc...

As of other non-essential paths, there should be another way to notify user...any suggestions?

vanowm commented 1 year ago

Maybe paths errors should only be shown when settings changed and not on startup?

Also, in case of AutoIt-VSCode used only for syntax highlighting (aka no AutoIt installed) the Check path error should only be shown once per session, instead of on each file save.
