Doesn't work with VS Code Remote Dev Container

Hello,

I’m not sure if it’s the right repo (vs elixir-lsp/elixir-ls) but since it’s related to VS Code (with its Remote Dev Container features) I’m asking here.

Simply put, nothing happen with this extension when it’s installed on the Remote Dev Container (and that the container is up and running etc.)

To contrast, if I disable (or uninstall) this extension on the container and use back the original one from jakebecker/elixir-ls), everything work out of the box.

Does this extension need something particular to set up and that I’m missing?

For example, the default installation folder when installed on a Dev Container is ~/.vscode-server/extensions rather than ~/.vscode/extensions. Could it be a problem with an harcoded path?

I have VS Code 1.43.2, Elixir 1.10, and this extension as 0.3.2

@sanjibukai yes, this is the right place to ask about this. Any help tracking down the root cause would be greatly appreciated. Although personally I don’t like trying to configure docker I’m not sure when I’ll take a look at this. A good first step would be to look at all the changes in this repository compared to the current master of https://github.com/JakeBecker/vscode-elixir-ls Since there’s been much less changes in this repository as compared to elixir-ls and elixir_sense if one of the changes did affect the Remote Dev Container support it should be feasible to track down. Also, what operating system are you running? I wonder if this problem affects certain operating systems more.

Although actually there are some elixir-ls PR’s that come to mind and you might want to look into removing:

• https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls/pull/118
• https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls/pull/78
• https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls/pull/15

Does this extension need something particular to set up and that I’m missing?

No it does not
