Failed to start flow on networked directory

[JonathanTroyer]

Freshly installed the extension and was promptly met with this error:

{
  "flowconfig": "\\\\dtc\\files\\TestMyCorp\\...\\.flowconfig",
  "flow": {
    "path": "c:\\Users\\u61jtro\\.vscode\\extensions\\flowtype.flow-for-vscode-1.3.0\\node_modules\\flow-bin\\flow-win64-v0.104.0\\flow.exe",
    "version": "0.104.0"
  },
  "serverStatus": {
    "state": "error",
    "message": "Failed to start flow\nError: (Failure\n  \"not localhost - file://dtc/files/TestMyCorp/...\")",
    "actions": [
      {
        "title": "Retry"
      }
    ]
  }
}

I've already searched for this particular error, and cannot find anything related to localhost that's been reported previously.

Using VS Code 1.37.0 1.38.1, with extension version 1.3.0 1.5.0. Thanks!

I think flow doesn't support networked directory. Is flow status through terminal working for you?

[JonathanTroyer]

Sorry about the late response. I'm actually using the bundled flow (work doesn't allow us yarn/npm 😭). Calling C:\Users\u61jtro\.vscode\extensions\flowtype.flow-for-vscode-1.5.0\node_modules\flow-bin\flow-win64-v0.107.0\flow.exe status gives

Unhandled exception: (Sys_error "\\\\dtc\\files: No such file or directory")

Not sure how helpful that is.

Looks like flow doesn't support your use case. Create issue in flow repo (https://github.com/facebook/flow).
