The extension doesn't work until you open a blank tab

[kanlukasz]

Hi,

I haven't been paying attention to it lately, but this extension seems to stop working. I will try to show you a step-by-step reconstruction of my tests below. The description of the problem is long, but I would like to give you a full detailed situation

Easiest reproduction of the problem (the process shows how the extension is not working)

1. Download portable VSCode version from https://code.visualstudio.com/#alt-downloads (64 bit zip)

2. Create a directory data in the program folder to be able to run this instance with clean original settings

3. Download you add-on from menu Extensions -> Search extensions (no other extensions are installed except yours now)

4. Open folder with simple project

5. Now everything looks like this:

6. Ok, now I'll try to:

   • auto-complete this css class in the html file
   • use go to option

7. As you can see in the gif video above, nothing works

The environment I am testing on

Version: 1.51.1
Commit: e5a624b788d92b8d34d1392e4c4d9789406efe8f
Date: 2020-11-10T23:34:32.027Z

Chrome: 83.0.4103.122

Additional notes:

• I tried reload VsCode but still not working
• path VSCode installation is c:\Users\username\VSCODE (i mention this because of https://github.com/pucelle/vscode-css-navigation/issues/29)
• path project folder is c:\Users\username\VSAPP (i mention this because of https://github.com/pucelle/vscode-css-navigation/issues/29)
• dev console is clear (no errors here):

AND NOW THE WEIRDEST THING

The extension starts working when I open a blank tab

• I'll show it to you in the video gif below:

The thing you may be interested in is Log (Extension host)

1. After running VsCode with my project it looks like this:

[pucelle]

Thanks, I will check it.

[pucelle]

Seems that this plugin only been activated for plaintext files. I remembered that when I made this plugin, plaintext means any readable types, but now it means Unknown language files (from https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/overview#_changing-the-language-for-the-selected-file)

I already checked in new codes, hope it works. Otherwise I will implement more features, so it will be released at tomorrow, I will give a comment here after released.

[pucelle]

Just released v1.10.1, please check it, thanks.

Seems to be working well now. I would like to thank you very much for your quick reply and quick fix. Thank you
