Description
1. Describe the bug
AL Language Extension initializes forever if used with an external ruleset file.
2. To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Use a workspace file. I have not tested if the issue occurs without a workspace.
- Set
"al.ruleSetPath": "../.vscode/any.ruleset.json", - Add a file to that path, referencing a ruleset file containing an url:
"includedRuleSets": [
{
"path": "https://any.valid.url/al-rulesets/any.ruleset.json",
"action": "Default"
}
],
3. Expected behavior
Normal workspace loading.
4. Actual behavior
The workspace loads forever...
Loading workspace: : Preparing project: 'AAR-app'
5. Versions:
- AL Language: 18.0.2668733
- Visual Studio Code: 1.134.0
- Operating System:
- Windows

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in a VS Code workspace using al.ruleSetPath set to ../.vscode/any.ruleset.json, with an includedRuleSets entry pointing to the external URL shown in the report. Start by tracing the workspace loading state reported as “Preparing project”; done means the workspace finishes loading normally with that external ruleset configuration.
