[cortopy]

• code-server version: 2.1523-vsc1.38.1-linux-x86_64

• Extension: todo tree

Description

When I open vscode I get this error

todo-tree: /bin/sh: 1: /src/build/code-server2.1523-vsc1.38.1-linux-x86_64-built/node_modules/vscode-ripgrep/bin/rg: not found

I've tries to install this dependency in the extension package itself,but it doesn't solve the issue

I'm not sure how we're going to solve this one. The extension tries to find ripgrep but it's not going to be there. We can't execute binaries within our binary so we copy it out to /tmp and run it from there.

Setting todo-tree.ripgrep.ripgrep to /tmp/code-server/rg would be a workaround. In a future release we'll be moving it to $XDG_CACHE_DIR/code-server/rg though.

Maybe we could pre-populate this setting or maybe we can do some kind of injection at run time with the correct path somehow.

As code-asher suggested, the problem was fixed by adding -
"todo-tree.ripgrep.ripgrep": "/tmp/code-server/tg"
to the settings.

After that I had another error when opening the Tree tab which I fixed by creating a "/globalStorage/gruntfuggly.todo-tree" directory where it couldn't find one.

Will be fixed by #1306
