Psalm not able to use psalm.phpExecutablePath setting in VS Code, uses default php instead

[matlinski]

Hello, I never write git issues so forgive me if it's not well structured.

I have a WSL set up in my windows and there are multiple project inside. Most need PHP 7.4 and that's how default php is configured. There is one project where I need to run php8.1. In that project there is no way to set the alternative binary path for psalm. I tried introducing the following changes to workspace.code-workspace:

{
   "settings": {
        "php.validate.executablePath": "/usr/bin/php8.1",
        "psalm.phpExecutablePath": "/usr/bin/php8.1"
   }
}

the first path solved the issue for default VS code validation, the second path was added automatically by from VS code Psalm extension GUI (see the screenshot).

This should defitelly solve the problem but it didn't. Both VS code extension and composer extension are up to date.

This is working fine for me.

Note that I went and set: "psalm.phpExecutablePath": "/usr/bin/ppp" which is invalid and I got an error message that its not executable. I then set it to /dev/null which worked as well

I believe the desired effect is in a multi-root workspace, config settings which are relevant to Psalm should have a scope of resource or machine-overridable instead of window.

In other words, every member of workspace.workspaceFolders should spawn an individual LanguageServer.ts, run an individual vendor/bin/psalm process.

I have a sample implementation of how this might work in https://github.com/limarkxx/psalm-vscode-plugin/compare/integration-testing...limarkxx:psalm-vscode-plugin:folder-level-settings?diff=split
