Description
Hey, I had some issues with setting up the extension on a macOS computer so I wonder if it would be possible to make it easier for other people.
The problem
I've installed the extension from Marketplace page on macOS Big Sur but it didn't seem to work - nothing was showing up.
Then I started to dig deeper and found a note that the client requires .NET runtime (x64) on releases page.
So I installed the latest fully supported version (v6.x.x
) but the extension still didn't work, no errors were reported in logs.
Then I dug into the extension code and tried to run the binary directly:
Then I just installed version v5.0.0 of the runtime which is no longer supported ❗ and now the extension seems to work - it shows up in the VSCode bar 🎉
Request
Could we do some of these:
- Explicitly say that there is a need for .NET runtime on extension page and mention the required version?
- Support more current versions of .NET runtime?
Thanks!
