esphome/esphome-vscode

Can't seem to make it work at all

I hate to ask such a novice question here, since it's clear that the extension does work and I'm overlooking some prerequisite or other step, but:

I've tried installing the extension a few times, and have never seen any of its intended results. No validation, etc.
My esphome instance is local (/usr/local/bin/esphome), version 1.17.2; VSCode 1.45.1
VSCode workspace includes a directory with all my .yaml files. They all compile cleanly and are running in production.
But if I open one in VSCode to edit, the extension doesn't seem to be active.

I've confirmed the extension settings are for a local instance, and even tried setting the path to esphome in the URI field.

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing incorrectly, I'll be grateful for.

Make sure esphome is shown at the bottom right as language instead of YAML. not sure if docs explains that

Do you see any output in the output tab select ESPHome language server

glyndon commented

Yes, I do:
The language client requires VS Code version ^1.52.0 but received version 1.45.1

I am using VScode supplied by the OS distro (Ubuntu 20.10 at the moment).
Will I need to depart the distro's vscode pkg and install/update manually?

Ahh that makes sense then, yes.. you'll need to update, as it's linux I'm not sure how that works.

Works now! (now that I've updated to the latest VSCode).
Thanks!
