I realized this is probably an issue with my particular setup ill do a little more research before reopening this

[shilangyu]

Did you manage to fix this? It suddenly appeared for me as well

[johan0A]

@shilangyu no but I was back on windows shortly after so I didn't tinker a lot to get it working.
As a workaround you can use directly the path to the zig and zls executables.
I'll reopen the issue.

There isn't enough information in this issue to identify the cause. I have some questions that could be helpful to figure out what is going on:

• What version of the vscode-zig extension has been installed?
• How was Zig and ZLS installed?
• If Zig was installed manually, was it added to $PATH? If so, how was it added?
• What value is $PATH in the integrated VS Code terminal?
• What value does which zig and which zls output in the integrated VS Code terminal?
• What Zig or ZLS related vscode settings have been set? Specifically the zig.path and zig.zls.path options.

good point

What version of the vscode-zig extension has been installed?

0.6.10

How was Zig and ZLS installed?

I use zvm: https://github.com/tristanisham/zvm
It creates a symlink to the zig and zls installation directory, and you can add it to $PATH
Installing zig manually does not help.

If Zig was installed manually, was it added to $PATH? If so, how was it added?

By modifying .bashrc

What value is $PATH in the integrated VS Code terminal?

(after manual installation)
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/home/johan/.local/bin/zig:/home/johan/.local/bin/zls

What value does which zig and which zls output in the integrated VS Code

$ which zig
/home/johan/.local/bin/zig/zig
$ which zls
/home/johan/.local/bin/zls/zls

What Zig or ZLS related vscode settings have been set? Specifically the zig.path and zig.zls.path options.

"zig.path": "zig",
"zig.zls.path": "zls",

By modifying .bashrc

I think I've run into this, if so it should work as expected when launching vscode from the terminal (which of course shouldn't be required).

yep it does for me as well
