You might remember the blog post from a while back about workspace-d and serve-d, I just released a beta version on the visual studio marketplace that allows you to try out the latest features of serve-d. Note that this version might easily break in the future, but for the next few days I am trying to gain some feedback. If you are a user of code-d and if you want to try out the new version please uninstall code-d and install code-d-beta (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=webfreak.code-d-beta, it's version 0.16.1) and just try to use it.

You no longer need workspace-d or dfmt with this release as both are included inside serve-d now which replaces most of the plugin which was written in typescript before. Now that serve-d uses Microsoft's language server protocol we get a fully featured D IDE for vscode, eclipse, emacs, GNOME builder, atom and theia with very little effort to implement them! For all the basic features you can simply start serve-d with the `--require D` argument and all the basic features you would expect from a auto completion plugin would be there. (See full list of editors here: https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol/wiki/Protocol-Implementations#editors-ides-supporting-the-protocol). serve-d adds some custom commands that give the user more control so they might be implemented for decent implementations too + serve-d depends on 2 custom notifications on the client side for automatic installation of dscanner & dcd.

Some new features in the serve-d branch include:

* automatic module naming: when you rename a file you are currently in or create a new file a module statement will be added/changed
* the English, German and Japanese translations are finally used! Thanks to Seiji Fujita for the Japanese translation
* dfmt is now included inside serve-d (also in the normal code-d if you update workspace-d)
* nice ddoc preview: the old preview was really chunky, this one now converts the ddoc to markdown and highlights embedded D code blocks correctly
* dedicated output log: you can now attach a very verbose output debug log to issues by opening the bottom panel, going to output and copying the code-d & serve-d output. This will hopefully make debugging issues much easier!
* live DScanner linting: you get errors from dscanner while you type now. Sometimes the issues are a bit off but after saving they get fixed.
* Argument parsing got an update: the current parameter highlight inside the DCD tooltips should be a bit better now
* goto definition should work better now and use less memory and be faster (well it's written in D now so that was to be expected)

So basically if you want to try out the latest bleeding edge version of my visual studio code plugin, uninstall the old code-d and get code-d-beta from the marketplace.

I'm getting this error: "Could not initialize dub. Falling back to limited functionality!". I don't get this error in the other version and dub is installed: DUB version 1.4.0, built on Jul 19 2017.

Awesome! Once I worked around the binary placement issue, this actually gave me completion options, which is better than the previous version ever did for me.

Same person made one https://github.com/Pure-D/sublime-d. Although it looks like it hasn't yet been updated to take advantage of the latest features.

There was one update to workspace-d recently which removed the need for dfmt, so I guess it got a little better. But it needs more work to implement all features, the issue with implementing it is always only figuring out a way to display all the features in the editor UI.

Can you cd C:\Users\Dmitry\AppData\Roaming\code-d\bin\serve-d
and then try the following commands in this order and tell me if one of them worked:

dub build --compiler=ldc --build=release --combined
dub build --compiler=ldc --combined
dub build --compiler=ldc --build=release
dub build --compiler=ldc

There is a new output log at the bottom now, can you try it out on a project with no personal information and send me the debug log per pastebin?

To access it open the panel at the bottom (F1 -> View: Toggle Output / Ctrl-K Ctrl-H) and at the top right select code-d & serve-d. Then just select everything, copy it and paste it somewhere.

I use
      dub build --compiler=ldc2
and get these error messages below:
