Hi All,

On VS Code "D Language utility extension pack", I notice that if I open a random D file, on the bottom left of the IDE, a message says "D: workspace/(0.0%): starting up...". It stays at 0.0% and doesn't go away and gives the impression that it is broken. Opening a file through a folder in explorer mode however works.

Thanks

There could be many reasons. You will see the actual error by opening the Developer Tools Window (under Help Menu).

I can't reproduce this with the master branches of code-d/serve-d so this might be something already fixed with the nightly serve-d build and ~master code-d

Not seeing an error in Developer Tools. I don't expect to because the loading sign remains there as if it is continuously trying to load and doesn't display any errors.

I have no idea how to install the ~master extension in VS Code. Under extensions when I go to "Manage" -> "Install Another Version ..." I can't see the master branch. Only the current and previous released version tags.

You have to inspect the Console-Tab inside the DevTools Window. You may need to open it first and then load your workspace to see an error like in this image:

Maybe there is no error, just a warning that is currently filtered out but breaks the app.

Also have a look in the normal output tab and in the log selection menu select "Log (Extension Host)" or other logs - could help identiying your issue.
