Unable to use extension about vscode-php-intellisense HOT 6 CLOSED

Please notice the big Work in progress notice in the README. This extension is not published yet, but in a public repository to enable collaboration.
This extension is only a thin wrapper that spawns the https://github.com/felixfbecker/php-language-server, so bugs need to be fixed there

Feel free to contribute.

Yes, contribution is my goal :)

For now I'm trying to understand if my initial steps were correct and I didn't missed anything important. After I will have working version I will be able to start playing with implementation of https://github.com/felixfbecker/php-language-server

from vscode-php-intellisense.

Yes I basically created this extension already because I needed some way to test the language server. That being said though, I got initialize already working. I think you were missing some steps:

• run composer install to install the language server as a dependency (you need composer installed)
• run npm run compile to compile
  This should be highlighted more in the README, I build the 3 packages in just two days and published them on GitHub as quickly as possible without writing extensible documentation :D

My next step is implementing documentSymbols because it is trivial with an AST. But I couldnt debug it properly, the server crashed and I couldn't get STDERR output, so I asked the VS Code folks how to do it, and got help here: microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node#82. I couldn't find the time to implement it yet, but that way we can get STDERR output with stacktraces. But ultimately I want all features of the language server to be verified through unit tests, because it is designed to run with many IDEs, not just VS Code. Tracking test coverage is on my todo list aswell.

I also used my own debug adapter https://github.com/felixfbecker/vscode-php-debug to debug the language server with success.

I am also open to adding more maintainers, would be nice if this could become a community project.

Thanks for clarification. It looks that I was able to reach initialization step. I just thought something else should work ;) I will try add simple description to README to summarize what I did.

I added a solution to the problem in felixfbecker/php-advanced-json-rpc@53808d3

documentSymbols is working now! 🎉
