`tiltfile.tilt.path` doesn't work as expected

[alexgorbatchev]

in my .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "tiltfile.tilt.path": "bin/.bin/tilt",
}

in terminal project root

~/development/project $ bin/.bin/tilt version
v0.33.20, built 2024-09-03

~/development/project $ curl -I http://localhost:10350

VSCode output panel:

[Info  - 9:12:49 AM] Tiltfile LSP started

[Error - 9:12:49 AM] bin/.bin/tilt: Error: spawn ./bin/.bin/tilt ENOENT

I was only able to bypass this error by specifying absolute path to tilt. This is not expected behaviour for the settings.json file, it should be able to work with paths relative to workspaceFolder.

Am I doing something wrong here?

I think this is probably a bug. The extension doesn't try to resolve the setting relative to the project. The code is here, would you be able to clone the code locally and try a suitable detection mechanism?

[alexgorbatchev]

I can probably figure out how to run it locally, yes :)
