Description

We're experimenting with a new launching mechanism that is aimed to allow the Ruby LSP to be more resilient to Bundler related issues. The rollout is currently at 5% of users.

If you encounter any issues, please report it here, so that we can address it and continue the gradual rollout.

If necessary, you can turn off the launcher mode temporarily by adding this to the VS Code's JSON settings:

{
  "rubyLsp.featureFlags": {
    "launcher": false,
  }
}

Research direction

Start by reproducing and documenting a concrete failure in the experimental launcher mode; the issue names no source file, test, or specific failing behavior. Compare behavior with the launcher disabled via the rubyLsp.featureFlags.launcher VS Code setting, and consider the work complete only when a reproducible problem and expected fix are defined.
