Please clarify that you need a local installation of git for the addons to work

How are you using the lua-language-server?

Visual Studio Code Extension (sumneko.lua)

Which OS are you using?

Windows

What is the issue affecting?

Libraries

Expected Behaviour

I expected the extension to work out of the box or have a a set up guide.

Actual Behaviour

Currently on windows the addon manager throws an uncaught spawn git ENOENT without any details. I had to go back through the logs to figure it out, that I need a local git installation.

Reproduction steps

1. Install Visual Studio on a fresh windows machine
2. Install the lua lls extension
3. Try to open the addon manager
4. Get the spawn git ENOENT error with the trimmed logs

Additional Notes

It would be enough to include a section in the documentation, or handle this error.

Log File

I'm including the extension log as this is a dependency issue with simple-git

exthost.log

The relevant line is line 322.

Comienza en el administrador de complementos de VS Code y en el fallo de simple-git descrito en la línea 322 del registro adjunto. Reproduce la configuración en un Windows recién instalado y, después, verifica que el requisito de Git local esté documentado o que la falta del ejecutable produzca un error gestionado útil en lugar de un spawn git ENOENT no controlado.
