Troubleshooting

This extension is in a preview state and it has not been fully tested. Crashes may occur.

Start troubleshooting by looking at the server logs. Log messages are found in the Output > GLSL Language Server channel. If you see a backtrace, that means the server has crashed. Log messages from this extension's language client are found in the Output > GLSL Client channel.

To fully capture the messages between the editor and the server, set the glsl.trace.server setting to "verbose". These messages will be logged to the Output > GLSL Language Server Trace channel.

If you encounter a crash or bug, please file an issue in the repo. The issue guide outlines the steps necessary to produce a high quality bug report; this is really appreciated as it makes the bug quicker to track down and fix. You can get the current version information by running GLSL: Show version from the command palette.
