More diagnostic information from "The Haskell (...) server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted."?

I get this error on one of my projects, but my other haskell projects work fine.

It their a way to get more details of the failure?

Hi, yeah, crashes does not show much information, has you changed log levels?

You also can run the haskell-language-server-${version} -d executable in a shell. It the executable has been downloaded by the extension it would be here: https://github.com/haskell/vscode-haskell#downloaded-binaries

@marklemay did the comment help you to trace the isue?

Hey @jneira, I'm getting the same error running an IHP project on my Mac. When I run haskell-language-server -d in the VSCode shell it works, since I believe direnv loads the haskell-language-server already bundled with IHP.

I changed the log levels based on your recommendations and here's what I got:

Running haskell-language-server -d on a normal shell did not work. I also looked at the location the haskell-language-server binary is supposed to be located in my file system, and couldn't find it. Not sure if this is a problem with the extension not downloading the binary correctly.

Here is my info:

Extension Version: 1.6.0
OS Version: OSX 11.4
VS Code version: 1.59.0

@jneira thanks for the quick response! that helps a lot. I'll follow up with a separate bug if there are still issues.

it might make sense to put these very good instructions into the issue template:

https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-issue-templates-for-your-repository

[jneira]

really a good idea, thanks

We have now more detailed logging in the client side (including the executable discovery and download) so there should help to diganose why the server cant be started.

it might make sense to put these very good instructions into the issue template:

I opened a dedicated issue to generate it: #488

So i think this can be close, thanks all for the feedback
