Integrate with vscode

[harrygr]

I'm having some trouble with a VSCode extension that executes a ruby command: htmlbeautifier (via the vscode-erb-beautify extension).

I have no trouble executing the htmlbeautifier command from my shell (having chruby'd to the correct version), but vscode errors with couldn't run htmlbeautifier 'spawn htmlbeautifier ENOENT', presumably because it's still using the system ruby.

Any ideas on how to get this working?

This is likely due to VSCode not executing commands in a shell, but executing them as separate processes (JetBrains RubyMine used to do this).

One workaround appears to be installing the Ruby VSCode extension by Peng Lv, which supports detecting the Ruby via RVM, rbenv, chruby, and asdf.

Another workaround would be to try executing VSCode from the terminal in your project directory, so that in inherits the PATH, GEM_HOME, etc, set by chruby.

Many thanks for the response. I actually have that extension installed, but it only seems to work sporadically. An exit of vscode and executing in the project dir seems to have done the trick for now. Will see if the continues to work.

Problem: Prettier was getting stuck while formatting code in a GUI-opened VSCode, and the root cause was found to be a bash environment issue.

Solution:

1. Create a wrapper script named vscode-launcher.sh:

   #!/bin/bash
   source /usr/local/share/chruby/chruby.sh
   chruby ruby-3.3.5
   /usr/share/code/code "$@"

2. Update the launcher command to use this script. Replace /usr/share/code/code %F with "path/to/vscode-launcher.sh %F".
