Move/remove /home/jblackquill/.elm and try again, it should be recreated

I got the same error message in the developer console, nothing worked. It worked a few days before. After removing ~/.elm, all VSCode files and doing a fresh install of VScode the error still popped up and nothing worked.

elm make does not sync dependencies for me.

Running elm init in a different folder worked and filled the package cache, which solved this problem completely and everything worked fine again.

I suggest upgrading the error handling in server/src/compiler/program.ts, as a failure to construct ElmPackageCache will leave this.forest undefined, resulting in this - not very useful - error message in the developer console.

The message in the debug log is not very informative as well, instead of console.error why not use window.showErrorMessage?

[razzeee]

Would you consider sending a patch for that?

For the console.error vs window.showErrorMessage, I do think that error messages that actively get pushed to the user should have a mostly defined text and not be an exception, that we display as a string.

I would agree with you on that, but there is no indication that anything failed at all, causing even more irritation. Also, this is an IDE extension for software developers, not simple end users.

One could argue that developers should know about the output console, but for me this was a major obstacle, as I first had to figure out where VSCode provides this output. If it hadn't worked before, I would've assumed that I misconfigured something and wasted hours.

[RocketRace]

This is still an ongoing issue, the extension does nothing besides basic syntax highlighting and crashes up to multiple times a second when editing Elm files

Here are my logs
