WSL Formatting issue about vscode-terraform HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @thenger thanks for including the log, as that's helpful here.

Both terraform.languageServer.terraform.path and terraform.languageServer.path are machine/remote scoped settings. This means you need to set them where the extension will run. For example, the path to the terraform binary might be in a different location/path inside WSL that it is on the host machine. This is to enable a scenario where you have terraform installed in c:/some/path/to/terraform.exe on your Windows host in your User settings and installed in /some/other/path/to/terraform in your Remote machine settings.

To set these settings in WSL, you can run the Preferences: Open Remote Settings command from the Command Palette (F1) or by selecting the Remote tab in the Settings editor. Then inout the correct path in the chosen setting.

FWIW, you don't have to set terraform.languageServer.terraform.path if the remote machine already has the terraform binary installed, it just has to be in environment variable PATH on the remote machine so that it can be resolved by the extension at runtime.

You shouldn't have to change the terraform.languageServer.path setting as that is detected by the extension at runtime, and by default it's pointed to the terraform-ls binary that is shipped with the extension and gets put in the right place when you use WSL. You would only need to set it if you are using terraform-ls from an outside install, which is not common.

eh
ok. thank you for your quick response !

It appears that I had tested some stuffs and ended up modifying the "Remote JSON settings" (without noticing) and added the following :

 "terraform.languageServer.path": "~/.local/bin/terraform",

and either because it's not the terraform-ls bin or because ~ is not expanded (but I think it's the later)
it was never going to work

now my config works : I removed every config related to hashicorp and works as I expected

Sorry for the time loss and thanks again
