Hi,

Could you please provide more logging and environment information by following these steps?

Thanks!

@andyleejordan Enabling diagnostic on the Language Server produced the root issue.

The language client requires VS Code version ^1.82.0 but received. 1.81.1

Upgraded to 1.82.2 and it's working again. I'm surprised there was no alert for this.

I...did not know it would bump that requirement! That's extremely good information. I should have looked at #4757 closer (which I assume has to be the dependency that bumped that up)...not that doing so would have done any good, I can't see anywhere that requirement is called out.

I had to dig a bit and it is indeed that package (or set of packages) as I see it updated in microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node#1312 but yeah, no mention in changelog. I'll downgrade the package and make a note of that.
