VSC not showing any problems

[MFredX]

Describe the bug
No Betterer problems appear on VS Code when the Betterer extension is installed

To Reproduce
I have initialized my Betterer project using npx @betterer/cli init and currently 2671 issues exist

My betterer.ts file is defined as;

import { typescript } from '@betterer/typescript';

export default {
  'strictNullChecks compilation': () =>
    typescript('./tsconfig.json', {
      strictNullChecks: true
    }).include('./src/**/*.ts')
};

Expected behavior
I expect the Problems tab on VS Code to show Betterer problems

Observed behavior

These are logs from the Betterer Output Terminal

^ This is super interesting! Does the problem go away if you restart VS Code?

[MFredX]

I have restarted VS Code, the following logs came up. The same error and no change was overserved in the problems tab

[phenomnomnominal]

Oooh do you have --debug enabled somehow? Or BETTERER_DEBUG set?

[MFredX]

Are you referring to this setting?

[phenomnomnominal]

Yes, if you turn that off does it work? It's something I need to remove, but just curious if that fixes it!

[MFredX]

This seems to change the logs shown in the Output tab.

The following error does not come up now

Error: Cannot find module './register'

The new logs are;

However, I see no errors on the Problem tab.

When I do run npm run betterer results the app/shared/services/store.service.ts is shown to have issues

  Object is possibly 'undefined'. - C:/Users/xxxx/Documents/app/ui/src/app/shared/services/store.service.ts:150:8

The logs above don't seem to pick these issues up;

i am having the same issue here, Error: cannot find module './register'

i can confirm that disabling Debug fixes it and it now shows issue properly

[stity]

I have the same issue with the extension reporting 0 issue while I have some in the .betterer.results file.
Betterer extension version: 5.2.1
VScode version: 1.101.0
Betterer version: I tried 6.0.0-alpha.1 and 5.4.0 with the same issue.
The command line works but the extension does not report any issue.
The debug option is disabled.
Did you find a solution @MFredX or @phenomnomnominal ?

Output of the extension:

[Info  - 7:33:52 PM] Validator: No issues from Betterer for "stricter compilation2"
[Info  - 7:33:52 PM] Validator: Sending 0 diagnostics to "file:///c%3A/Repos/test_betterer/src/index.ts".

Content of .betterer.results:

exports[`stricter compilation2`] = {
  value: `{
    "src/index.ts:1339271645": [
      [0, 4, 1, "tsc: Type \'null\' is not assignable to type \'number\'.", "177604"]
    ]
  }`
};

.betterer.ts file:

import { typescript } from '@betterer/typescript';

export default {
  'stricter compilation2': () =>
    typescript('./tsconfig.json', {
      strict: true,
      "strictNullChecks": true,
      noEmit: true
    }).include('./src/**/*.ts')
  }

[stity]

I fixed this issue in my PR: #1247
It was related to the way the file path are normalized in the extension.
