Description

As far as I can tell, VLS no longer works correctly on Windows in V version 0.5.1 and later.

When the extension is launched, you will typically see two popups. These enable code highlighting (immediately) and popup functionality (after any changes have been made to the code).

  • V Language Server is starting.
  • V Language Server is now active.

It worked fine up to version 0.5.0, but in version 0.5.1, the popup function sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t.

In commit 5dd162f, only the following single popup appears, and only code highlighting works. The popup function does not work at all.

  • V Language Server is starting.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the Windows behavior in VLS 0.5.1 or later, then compare it with 0.5.0 and commit 5dd162f, focusing on the language-server startup and popup behavior. Done means code highlighting and popup functionality both activate reliably after launch and code changes.
