Vscode-spell-checker: Expansion crashes when starting up

[bheemann]

Installed version [1.7.18] and it crashes when starting up:

Error: Cannot find module 'c:\Users\benja\.vscode\extensions\streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker-1.7.18\server\server.js' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:584:15) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:510:25) at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:746:12) at startup (internal/bootstrap/node.js:282:19) at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:759:3) [Error - 10:44:36] Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted.

Visual Studio Code Version:

reinstallation and restarting vs code didn't help.

any ideas?

[Jason3S]

Sometimes VS Code doesn't correctly install it.

1. Uninstall the extension.
2. Quit VS Code.
3. Delete any directories like: c:\Users\benja\.vscode\extensions\streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker-*
4. Start VS Code and re-install the spell checker.

I have a similar issue, for me the extension is broken on VSCode when using WSL: Ubuntu. I have the version 1.7.20. The error

Error: Cannot find module '/home/my_user/.vscode-server/extensions/streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker-1.7.20/server/server.js'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:623:15)
    at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:527:27)

    at internal/main/run_main_module.js:17:11 {
  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: []
}

but, when I check ls /home/my_user/.vscode-server/extensions/streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker-1.7.20/server/server.js I can see that the file exists. I've tried re-installing it, I've tried deleting the local files, like you mentioned, but none of that worked. Any other ideas?

[Jason3S]

@pgrm you have to delete that directory and re-install. For some reason it did not download correctly.

Delete the entire: /home/my_user/.vscode-server/extensions/streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker-1.7.20 and any other streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker-* directories.

[pgrm]

@Jason3S I did that - and I couldn't find any other directories - find . -name "streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker-*" didn't return anything else except for a folder in .directory_history

This is the full stack trace after it got re-installed, after I removed every trace of it

[Jason3S]

That is super frustrating.

[Jason3S]

This seems to be a VS Code Server issue.
I have never tried it. I'll take a look.

[Jason3S]

@pgrm,
I published a new version now supports Visual Studio Code Remote Development.

I'm going to close this issue, since it wasn't related to Remote Development, but to the extension not fully installing.
