Ballerina-lang: VScode cannot detect the home config var correctly when installing Ballerina via Homebrew

[xlogan]

Description:
The extension keeps warning: The configured "ballerina.home" seems incorrect.

• I've installed via homebrew. The package is located at: /usr/local/Cellar/ballerina/0.980.0
• The ballerina.home config is: "ballerina.home": "/usr/local/Cellar/ballerina/0.980.0"

Affected Versions:
0.980.0

OS, DB, other environment details and versions:

• installed the extension from vscode marketplace

Suggested Labels (optional):
Type/Bug, Component/VScode plugin

@xlogan do you have other ballerina versions installed in the same location?

[xlogan]

Yes, I do. I copied the location to config the ballerina.home variable in VScode settings.

[nadeeshaan]

@xlogan can you try having only the latest ballerina version (v0.980) in the installation directory for the moment?

[xlogan]

Nice, it works now. I removed the package from Homebrew, downloaded the package. Thanks for your support @nadeeshaan

For future references; Please note that if you are using brew installed balhome path you need to use /usr/local/Cellar/ballerina/0.980.0/libexec.

Noted! Thanks @rasika

Please note that homebrew ballerina 0.980.1 onwards; you can just use /usr/local/Cellar/ballerina/0.980.1 for the ballerina.home in the vscode plugin.
