What happened?

I can run it from the CLI just fine, but the extension throws this error:

Expected result

It should work just fine.

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow Biome's Code of Conduct

[ematipico]

Is your OS supported? I saw this error before, most of the time it's because Biome runs on an OS that is not supported

[hyoretsu]

It definitely is, I'm running Ubuntu (on WSL) I also don't think running VSCode Remote on WSL2 messes something up.

[erictaylor]

I rolled back to 1.2.1 which works, but 1.2.2 is giving me the same issue on macOS. nvm it doesn't work

[Mirasaki]

Starting using Biome in Bun environments and it ran mostly fine, tried to adopt it in a NodeJS environment (running on WSL2 Ubuntu) and running into the same error (exit code 127):

Is there a way to run vscode extension with bun?

We don't have a bun script with the bun shebang, but if you're interested we welcome any PR to do so

[bkniffler]

@ematipico unfortunately vscode languageclient does not yet support bun as a runtime microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node#1321

I'll try submit a PR on biome once there is advances on vscode.

@hyoretsu have you tried this? ⬆️

[varna]

Same problem on macOS 13.5.2 (22G91) with node v18.13.0 (via nvm).

@hyoretsu have you tried this? ⬆️

It didn't work, I tried restarting both WSL and my computer.

[nhedger]

Hey 👋, this issue may be fixed in the latest nightly version.

Could you try it and tell us if you're still experiencing the issue?

Here's the command to install the nightly version

code --install-extension [email protected]

After your tests, you can revert to the current stable version with the following command.

code --install-extension [email protected]

[Mirasaki]

This was not fixed 4 days ago for me (not speaking for anyone else), but a couple of hours ago with the most recent VSCode update. I'm not sure if VSCode updates also bump all the plugins to their latest versions, or if this was released in a non-nightly version - but it's definitely fixed, amazing! 🥳

[nhedger]

@Mirasaki, could you tell which version you’re currently on ?

[Mirasaki]

Biome 1.2.2
And VSCode 1.83.0

It actually looks like the last local VSCode update was a week ago, so I'm not sure of anything anymore relating this haha. Except that it still works. Sometimes it loses the connection to the server, but very quickly recovers.

[BoscoDomingo]

Biome doesn't work for me either in WSL. Funnily enough, it isn't working on Windows either, when both Prettier and ESLint do, and I have installed biome both in the local as well as the global environments. I've tried with Node 18 and 20, no luck. VS Code is up to date

Edit: It's because my config file is inside the ./configs/ folder, instead of in the root. Could we add support for this?

[ematipico]

@BoscoDomingo you might want to open a different issue/discussion in the biome-vscode repository, and propose the feature

Yup, did so right after editing the comment. Thanks!

[nhedger]

I believe this issue has been fixed in a previous release of the extension.

I'll close the issue to keep the repo tidy, but feel free to reopen it if you reencounter it.

Thanks!
