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.

Inizia dal gestore dei componenti aggiuntivi di VS Code e dal fallimento di simple-git descritto alla riga 322 del log allegato. Riproduci la configurazione su un’installazione di Windows appena effettuata, quindi verifica che il prerequisito Git locale sia documentato o che l’eseguibile mancante produca un errore gestito utile invece di uno spawn git ENOENT non intercettato.
