how are you supposed to install this extension on linux?

See original GitHub issue

I already built the sourcekite dependency and I think it is working, (how do I test it?). I also set my path’s according to the readme, screenshot of my settings.json

{
    "swift.path.swift_driver_bin": "/home/lucas/.swiftenv/versions/4.2-CONVERGENCE/usr/bin/swift",
    "swift.path.sourcekite": "/home/lucas/projects/swift/sourcekite/.build/release/sourcekite"
}

but I still don’t have linting support. maybe someone can help me? I also attached the built sourcekite binary onto this issue. Thanks in advance 😃 sourcekite.zip

I was having the same problem. I’ve just installed Swift / VSCode on Linux to experiment and was getting the undefined error when the extension was loading. After poking about in the source I found this:

provideDebugConfigurations(
    _folder: vscode.WorkspaceFolder | undefined,
    _token?: vscode.CancellationToken
): vscode.ProviderResult<vscode.DebugConfiguration[]> {

I found that after creating a Workspace and putting my swift files in it, the extension would then load. I have no idea if by design you are meant to need a workspace (I don’t recall reading that you need to) but maybe it is a workaround for now?

Just to confirm, after adding my project folder to a workspace, the extension works. Otherwise i get an undefined error.
