I also encountered a similar initialization problem. I have no clue how to solve this problem.

Environment

• os : Ubuntu 20.04 Linux 5.4.0-37-generic x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• extension settings :
  "terminal.integrated.shell.linux": "/bin/bash",
  "leetcode.nodePath": "/usr/bin/node"
• extension version : 0.16.2
• nodejs version : 14.4.0
• vscode version : 1.45.1 (code-server: v3.4.1)

Reproduce

1. New Ubuntu 20.04 Server
2. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
3. Install Node.js

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x -o nodesource_setup.sh
sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh
sudo apt install nodejs

4. Install VS Code via @cdr/code-server

curl -fOL https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases/download/v3.4.1/code-server_3.4.1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i code-server_3.4.1_amd64.deb
systemctl --user enable --now code-server

5. Install leetcode extension

# From the Coder extension marketplace (Same as manual installation
code-server --install-extension shengchen.vscode-leetcode

6. Click leetcode plugin icon on left bar

Some try

Clear the cache and reinstall

There is no $HOME/.lc folder after installation, so I try to restart VS Code service firstly. The situation remains the same. After that I mkdir $HOME/.lc and its subfolder leetcode leetcode.cn ,then I restart VS Code. The same error occurred.

Install VS Code by docker codercom/code-server:latest

This docker seems to be using a Debian system. I entered the container and executed the same command as above to install nodejs v14.4.0 then mannually install leetcode plugin. It works! But I am a docker rookie, I can not easily manage the server directly through code-server webpage, such as nginx mysql php on the server.

Change Nodejs Version to 13.x or 12.x

I can get return with command node -v but the same error occurred.

Change OS to Cent OS 8.2

I always want to use the latest system, even if it caused me a lot of trouble 🤣

After a simple initial update and installations of nodejs and vscode, the same error occurred.

Change OS to Cent OS 7.3 & Nodejs Version to 13.14.0

This test was on a server in China created a long time ago, when I installed nodejs v13.14.0. After installing the plugin manually, the plugin works fine.

Now I still haven't found a solution while using Ubuntu 20.04 & Nodejs 14.4.0...

@skydai From your output, the json is ruined with wrong format. So, please remove the cache ~/.lc and try again

@monsterxcn Does your problem also have in standard VS Code? Since it seems that you are using code server(a third-party distribution)

Nope. I don't have this problem on my laptop. (Windows 10

But on the server, sometimes it works normally, sometimes it doesn't. If it is a problem with code-server, it should go wrong in other situations. But I can run normally in the container codercom/code-server:latest and code-server on Cent OS 7.3 & Nodejs 13.14.0 .

That's strange. 😅

[monsterxcn]

I think I should have solved my problem. It's indeed a problem with code-server. Just install Node.js in the command line of the code-server instead of directly installing it in the SSH connection as the root user. My problem should be caused by user permissions .

@monsterxcn Good to know the problem has been solved.
