Server install fails in wsl2 (Ubuntu-20.04)

Open hsmyers opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Claims that it is unable to determine what TeX distro I'm running…I'm running a TeX-Live with extensions, BTW.

Thanks for the report. I am assuming you are running texlab outside of WSL. In this case, we do not have implemented scanning the Tex Distro yet. However, this issue should not prevent you from using the language server, as detecting the TeX distro is only required for one feature, namely providing completion for locally-installed packages. If you are not using this feature, then texlab should work perfectly fine. Just ignore the message for now. In the next version, this will be a warning in the log, and not a message anymore. In addition to that, I will add support for detecting distributions inside WSL.

Closing this issue:

  • texlab no longer reports this warning message
  • Running language servers inside WSL has become quite easy so it is much simpler to run texlab inside WSL too
