Plugin doesn't work in debug mode

[ZeroXbot]

I get following error when trying to run template as is.

Activating extension 'undefined_publisher.nrs-language-server' failed:
Cannot find module 'x:\Repos\lsp\dist\extension.js'
Require stack:
- c:\Users\ZX\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\loader.js
- c:\Users\ZX\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\bootstrap-amd.js
- c:\Users\ZX\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\bootstrap-fork.js - .

Steps to reproduce:

• clone repository
• run pnpm i and cargo build as instruction says
• run debug
• open any file in debug vscode and set language to nrs

you need to build the client code first

[IWANABETHATGUY]

Could you try running

rm -rf dist && tsc -b -w

[ZeroXbot]

Thank you for fast response, that did the job. Shame it was not mentioned in readme, for person not versed in JS ecosystem it is misleading.

[IWANABETHATGUY]

Yeah, I miss that part. But after you press, F5 vs code will automatically do that for you

[IWANABETHATGUY]

Yeah, It's my fault that I assume everyone would press F5 on vscode

Here is the preLunchTask https://github.com/IWANABETHATGUY/tower-lsp-boilerplate/blob/main/.vscode/launch.json#LL16C4-L19C9

It seems it doesn't as I use F5 and without manual tsc invocation it fails as in OP

For context, in my case the issue was due to pnpm not being found when the task is run, likely due to how my zshrc is configured leading to the PATH not being correctly set in the task runner environment?

 *  Executing task: pnpm run watch 

zsh:1: command not found: pnpm

 *  The terminal process "/usr/bin/zsh '-c', 'pnpm run watch'" terminated with exit code: 127. 

I moved it to my .zshenv and it all works now on F5

Full steps to get this template going is

• clone repository
• run pnpm i and cargo build as instruction says
• open VSCode
• run debug 'launch client', which opens a new VScode instance
• in the new vscode instance, open examples/index.rs (or any file)
• hit Ctrl+Shift+P, 'change language mode'
• choose 'nrs'

It loses the rust syntax highlighting but I think this is intentional. If you totally replace the contents with the sample from the README, the LSP works though.

You don't get any output in Output nor Debug Console, even after changing the logging to Verbose. But in the Launched Client, if you open the Output panel to nrs language server, you'll see all the logging. May have to enable 'Trace' for the language server first.

"Attach to Server" is commented out in the launch.json and doesn't appear to be needed.

Closest you can get to live reloading is

• cargo watch -x run
• going into the original host VSCode and restarting by clicking this green circular arrow at the bottom
