Extension does not start (Windows 10, VSCode 1.69)

[klausj1]

I am not 100% sure, but I think after the latest VSCode update spellright does no start anymore.

Same issue on macOS, will try to regenerate an M1 build by following https://github.com/bartosz-antosik/vscode-spellright/pull/503 and some info from https://github.com/bartosz-antosik/vscode-spellright/issues/502.

I have the same issue with VS Codium 1.69.

The same problem occurs to me as well.

There is no eye icon on the status bar. When I run any command of SpellRight, the notification like this pops up:

Seems independent of OS. I have the same error on Ubuntu.

This has happened before in #443 and #500.

The latest version of VS Code updated Electron and Node, which breaks this extension. https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_69#_electron-18-update

[klausj1]

Version 3.0.72 is working for me now :)

[bartosz-antosik]

The binary dependencies have been rebuilt. Thanks @borekb for rebuilding Apple Silicon dependencies. Also thanks to @nkuehn, who proposed to rebuild the binaries using GitHub Actions which is now implemented and should smoothly generate binaries for Windows/Linux/Macos on future Electron's version changes. It has limitations though: 1) Macos is only for Intel based machines 2) Linux is built on Ubuntu based VM so I have doubts whether it will work in other distributions (glibc version may vary also symbol tagging/versioning in glibcc may conflict).

BUT:

If anyone could check whether the extension works with RHEL rooted distributions (e.g. Fedora?) I would be very grateful!

[Altair-Bueno]

v3.0.72 works macOS Monterey (Intel)

[pvdstel]

v3.0.72 works on Windows 10 / VSCode 1.69.1 🎉

[nkuehn]

v3.0.72 works on macOS Monterey (arm64). Thank you for continuing to maintain spellright!

@bartosz-antosik, On Fedora 36 extension doesn't work. I use VSCodium.
