Failure to start extension under latest VS Code

[tthornton3-chwy]

👓 What did you see?

Upon opening up any *.feature file, I see:

  Message: Request initialize failed with message: abort(Assertion failed: bad export type for `tree_sitter_c_sharp_external_scanner_create`: undefined). Build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 for more info.
  Code: -32603 

No syntax highlighting, or any features are then produced.

✅ What did you expect to see?

I expected the extension to start properly, and have syntax highlighting, etc.

📦 Which tool/library version are you using?

Cucumber VS Code Plugin: v1.7.0
VS Code (Insiders):

Commit: 47c4c928bdaf0c81996d2dcce4286f63b9f26afd
Date: 2023-04-26T17:51:58.920Z (5 hrs ago)
Electron: 22.4.8
Chromium: 108.0.5359.215
Node.js: 16.17.1
V8: 10.8.168.25-electron.0
OS: Darwin arm64 22.4.0
Sandboxed: Yes

My guess is that it has to do with:

• Electron version (22.4.8 vs 19.1.11)

🔬 How could we reproduce it?

Be on the latest version of VS Code
Open up any *.feature file.

EDIT: This relates to -- microsoft/vscode#166265

Since VS Code 1.78.0 was released, it happens there as well. I see the following message in the output for the Cucumber Language Server:

[Error - 10:58:18 AM] Server initialization failed.
  Message: Request initialize failed with message: abort(Assertion failed: bad export type for `tree_sitter_c_sharp_external_scanner_create`: undefined). Build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 for more info.

And the output from exthost.log

Please let me know for any updates on this and how to fix this in VSCode (version: Version: 1.78.0)

[aleksdobrev]

A workaround can be to downgrade to the previous VSCode version. I'm using Version: 1.77.3 (Universal) and it is working just fine for the moment.

Reproduced with my system :

Is this more related to https://github.com/cucumber/language-service rather than this repo itself? I asked because it looks very similar with this issue and tree-sitter stuffs are related to language-service as its dependencies.

Hi,
I'm having this issue as well.
I confirm, it happens when VSCode is 1.78.* whereas 1.77.3 works perfectly. I had to downgrade VSCode.
My Cucumber extension is 1.7.0.
Best regards.

[alex20465]

Aparently, this is connected to this: microsoft/vscode#166265
