Language Support for Java isn't working in GitHub Codespaces

[snebjorn]

For some reason Language Support for Java isn't working in my GitHub Codespace. The extension seems to like being run there.
It was working a week or so ago but for some reason it just stopped and I cannot get it to function again.

Cleaning the project doesn't function

See this discussion for more info https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/35119

Environment

• Operating System: "linux", version: "5.4.0-1090-azure", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
• JDK version: 11.0.16.1
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.72.0 (system setup)
• Java extension version: 1.11.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open https://github.com/snebjorn/openapi-generator/tree/feature/devcontainer in GitHub Codespaces
2. Observe Language Support for Java isn't working

Current Result

Language features like code navigation doesn't work in GitHub Codespaces.

Expected Result

I saw there is an error in console:

Will it help if you change the folder's permission?

[snebjorn]

thank you that put me on the right path - I think 😸

However this does seem like an issue with the extension

[renderer4] [error] [Extension Host] Error: command 'java.execute.workspaceCommand' not found
    at S._tryExecuteCommand (vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20VS%20Code/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:1715:3532)
    at S.executeCommand (vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20VS%20Code/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:1715:3414)

Seems like it tries to execute a command on my local VSCode, which doesn't have the extension installed, instead of executing it inside the GitHub Codespaces remote container

I think it's the permission issue that cause the java extension cannot be activated successfully, then the command not found exception is observed.

Hmm how do I do that?
I ran sudo chown -R vscode: /home/vscode and sudo chmod u+rwx /home/vscode but to no avail

I tested to create a codespaces for the spring-petclinic project and it works. Have no idea why your project has the permission issue. Let's wait to see the response from upstream: devcontainers/images#155
