[plugin] Cannot use Tool Tree in theia

[meng-jpg]

I installed the extension in theia, but cannot use it. It works fine in vscode and the tool ripgrep has already installed. What should I do to fix the problem?

theia version: electron 1.57.0
Operation System: macOS Sequoia 15.1.1

Hey @meng-jpg,

You can set the todo-tree.ripgrep setting to <theia-install-directory>/resources/app/lib/backend/native/ripgrep. We use ripgrep ourselves, but in a different directory than in vscode, so the extension cannot find it.

It really worked. Thank you very much for your reply.

@msujew Would it make sense that we create a link to ripgrep wherever VSCode is placing it?

[msujew]

Sure, that might make sense. See here for the logic that the extension is using to figure out any deployed ripgrep instance.

That's good news, when can I expect to see this change in the releases?
