lsp-sample does not work

[hak33m16]

Extension sample

lsp-sample

VS Code version

1.92.0

What went wrong?

The autocomplete and analysis that's supposed to be provided by the lsp-sample extension does not work

If you follow the instructions outlined in the README

• There are no such autocomplete options available on a brand new plain text document in the Extension Development Host window
• Entering text content does not emit any diagnostics

Here you can see it built perfectly fine, and in a brand new plain text document I have no autocomplete options:

VSCode: 1.92.0
Node: v22.5.1
npm: 10.8.2
Windows 11:

Works for me.

Please note the code completion and errors are generated for plain txt files only that exist on disk. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/blob/main/lsp-sample/client/src/extension.ts#L37

So it doesn't work for untitled files.

Interesting, it does appear to work if I save the file to disk. That's unexpected behavior in my opinion, given that the format in the bottom right of a new untitled file that's yet to be saved is "plaintext". Thanks for clarifying

@hak33m16 you can provide support for unsaved files as well. Simple define a document selector that includes a filter with the untitled scheme or with a * scheme.
