Vscode-neovim: Doesn't work at all

[junkdeck]

For some reason it doesn't work at all on one of my machines. Pressing : doesn't show the output in the statusbar, hjkl doesn't move the cursor and I can't enter Insert mode.
It used to work and then it didn't.

I'm running Debian 10, using a neovim 0.4.3 I've built from source with RelWithDebInfo, and specifying the output of which nvim in the configuration.

Did I mess something up during compilation of neovim?

okay so i ran checkhealth and there were some issues with the ruby provider that i solved - now i get the vim command line dropdown when i hit : and I can move around, but for some reason, vertical cursor movement skips a line. ???

You could try using this extension with the AppImage version of neovim to check if maybe something went wrong with building from source. You could also try running neovim without any plugins if you have any

If you have init.vim try with empty one

vertical cursor movement skips a line. ???

if line is wrapped, j/k skips the wrapped line, gj/gk takes into account wrapped lines

edit: my issues was that i wasn't on nvim >0.4.2. upgrading to .5.0 works

Can we get some diagnostic instructions, please?

I just installed neovim for the first time brew install neovim and this extension, specified "vscode-neovim.neovimPath": "/usr/local/bin/nvim" but I can see no effects. Not sure what to try next.

Plugin page says "Neovim 0.5+ is required.". Had the same problem. when I installed version 0.5 and updated path settings all works fine now.
