no autocomplete (command 'extension.tdCompletesMe.start_server' not found)

[BjarneJensen]

Hi I am not getting autocomplete functionality in vs and I see this error Command 'Touch Designer: Start AutoCompletion Engine' resulted in an error (command 'extension.tdCompletesMe.start_server' not found) vscode when I try to run the start command. I am inexperienced building extensions myself. Ihave tried disabling other plugins, but I cannot get vscode to converse with touchdesigner. I TD, the tcip dat says binding socket error access denied Any tips for where to look to solve the issue?

Thanks

Thanks for looking at the extension. Looks like you resolved this issue. Would you mind sharing the steps that you took to resolve this issue and or any thing that I could add to the documentation and or the TS to make it easier for folks who are interested in adding auto completion to their TD projects?

Sure thing! I'll add some info to my github post too if you'd like. I discovered it was a port issue. Port 1338 was occupied by some other software (Inventables Easel Driver defaults to 1338). It did not initially work when I tried to manually configure the port, so I just deleted the other software for now . So it really was not an issue at all but a good reminder to check traffic on ports. I learned some stuff about my configuration and building extensions from source so It was not a loss. And now this awesome tool works! Great job bringing this to life! Thanks

I'm glad to hear you got it working, always fun to get a deep dive into the port structure. I'll look into making it a little less painful for users to change the port that the extension is communicating on. Thanks for your interest in the project.

It really should have been the first thing I checked. I guess I was partially surprised by how easy it was to set up, so I thought it must have been something more complicated. Thank you for your contribution to the community.
