Hi @moleksyuk
The first screenshot leads me to thinking that this may have something to do with how the IJ plugin launches the server. It looks like this is already a known bug reported here: gtache/intellij-lsp#147

The second one suggests that it eventually did launch it, because the error message comes from the language server.
It means that you likely need to run terraform init in a folder (root module) where you'd typically run it, so that plugins are available for the language server to pull data from. Have you tried that?

👍 thanks

Tried to run terraform init but couldn't reproduce it again due to issue with start server. Didn't know how it was launched yesterday 🤷‍♂️.

Unfortunately there isn't much the server can do when it comes to being launched. That will have to be addressed on the client side (i.e. in the IntelliJ extension) but I would be happy to look into any issues which happen after the server starts.

I managed to launch it as per instructions - I tried IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 and language server 0.4.0 - both absolute or relative path. That said I did run into a bug, which I filed under #203 - I wonder if that's what you're also experiencing?

File /tmp/tf-exec-{{lsPid}}-{{args}}.log doesn't exist.

The file logging is not enabled by default, it needs to be enabled by adding -log-file flag, see the Troubleshooting section for more.

Let us know if you manage to launch it and need further investigation/help, otherwise @hashibot will close this issue in 30 days automatically as it's not actionable without further details.

Got it. Close it and will wait till gtache/intellij-lsp#147 will be fixed.
