As reported automatically in flow/flow-for-vscode#458, this plugin needs to engage the shell to launch the LSP on modern VSCode on Windows, because the script is generally installed as
flow-bin/cli.cmd
and only the shell can execute those.(port of flow/flow-for-vscode#464)
Personally I still have issues using this plugin in my setup, because of the use of
bin-version
which callsexeca
which callscross-spawn
, which doesn't seem to support Flow viayarn
on Windows (which creates.js
files but no.cmd
/.bat` file) — not sure exactly why. In the future, I'd suggest moving away from this rather heavy chain of dependencies. Let me know if you'd like a PR to that effect.To test: simply run this extension in development on a Windows machine, and load any Flow project. It should work with this PR, but fail to load without it.
