Remote Development Icon going red and not showing any error I could use to figure out what is wrong

[Toasterson]

Lapce Version

0.2.0

System information

I am trying to connect from a macOS 12.5.1 (21G83) Early 2015 Air to a server running illumos current and another one running ArchLinux current amd64

Describe the bug

I try to connect to an SSH host and type in the name as I have it configured in my ~/.ssh/config oibuild, Lapce tries to connect but fails and then show a red connection icon. For ssh I use the command ssh oibuild and this config.

Host oibuild
  User *****
  Hostname build
  ProxyJump ****@$PUBLIC_IP
  ForwardAgent yes
  AddressFamily inet
  TCPKeepAlive=yes
  ServerAliveCountMax=20
  ServerAliveInterval=60

I assume something with the ssh command fails but I can't figure out what as I can't find the log and no documentation on how to create one. I am a rust developer and illumos Contributor so if I need to compile pace from source I am happy to do that to get logs but I would like some mentoring to fix this bug at least.

Not official answer: Run Lapce from command line like that /Applications/Lapce.app/Contents/MacOS/lapce (Mac OS X) then you can follow app logs including ssh logs

Unfortunately not with the version I downloaded from the site. Do I need a debug build?

TLDR; Docs on remote development SSH format suck.

I tried user@host:port -- nothing. No error, only the icon turns red. Also tried a full command ssh user@host -p port, same. No output on the terminal from which I launched lapce either. I'll try with a debug build next.

Installed lapce after six months again to give it another spin. Couldn't get this to work. This is basic for me. Back to VSCode. :(

If someone tells me what I am doing wrong I'm happy to improve the Remote Development docs section and submit a PR.
