Python language server doesn't load

[jamesjrg]

Type: Bug

The Aide box at the bottom with the button "anchored editing" highlighted shows this message inside the box:

"Loading language server for Python..."

The message never goes away, so presumably the language server never loads.

I have the same extensions installed in vanilla VS Code, and have no issues there, only in Aide.

I tried opening VS code debug tools in Aide, and found this error, though not sure if it's related:

ERR Extension 'ms-python.debugpy' appears in product.json but enables LESS API proposals than the extension wants.
package.json (LOSES): portsAttributes, contribIssueReporter, debugVisualization, contribViewsWelcome
product.json (WINS): portsAttributes, contribIssueReporter, debugVisualization

This is super helpful! Helps us triage as well, can you let us know if the extension you are using was from open vsx or from the Microsoft Store.

We had another user report the same issue so gonna dig into it more.

Will keep you updated

When I started Aide for the first time it asked if I wanted to copy the extensions from my existing VS Code install, and I clicked yes. I don't know how it goes about copying them, but the original install in VS Code was from the standard MS extension manager, so if the file is physically copied into Aide I guess it's from Microsoft Store.

https://open-vsx.org/extension/ms-python/python can you try installing this one and see if the error goes away after that?

[theskcd]

the microsoft official one does not work on any editor other than VScode, there was a way to get it to work but it doesn't work anymore VSCodium/vscodium#1641

moreover we chagned the migration process to install the extensions from open vsx but looks like that process is not iron clad yet (thats on us to fix)

[jamesjrg]

Ah installing the .vsix from open-vsx worked, thanks! I downloaded the file with my web browser and then installed it manually, not sure if the extensions window inside Aide also uses that site as a source?

I must admit I still haven't figured out how to actually use the AI box, but that's probably because I'm missing some configuration or misunderstand the UI 😅

[theskcd]

Oh dang .. I can send over some demos to show you .. I think a walkthrough would make it easier and we should think about our input

[theskcd]

sharing this post which has an intro kind of into our workflows, and agree on the setup being wonky (ideally we should just check and make sure its setup for you properly)

I have some demo videos but they are on my other disk :(

[jamesjrg]

Some or all of the issue is that I'm on the waitlist. If I chat in the "Chat" window I get a message about being on the waitlist, as expected. If I try to type some input in "anchored editing" window and press enter nothing happens. Maybe it's just that the error message hasn't been implemented for that window.

[theskcd]

can you drop me your email at [email protected] (of course I understand that you probably wont want to give it out loud to the world lol) or let me know your waitlist number and I will let you in
