Error - Couldn't start client textlint

[Kangie]

I'm attempting to integrate textlint into my developer's workflow using a system-wide configuration (and global textlint installation), however the linter extension fails to run with the error "Couldn't start client textlint".

Textlint has been installed globally, and is available in my path:

matthew.jolly@matt-pc ~ $ textlint -v
v11.8.2

I have provided an absolute path to a textlint configuration file (as yaml). This configuration is valid - I am able to call textlint directly from the command line using it and receive the expected output.

I am not receiving any output from the plugin that would help me narrow down the issue, and I've been able to replicate this on both Windows and Linux machines.

Is there something obvious that I've missed?

Thanks!

Still no closer to tracking this down. :(

Any thoughts?

@Kangie I faced the same situation and deleting VSCode including Application Support, Cache directory solved the problem for me. cloning this repo, and executing in debug mode was also fine, worked as expected, so I guess it's a bug related version diff or something like that.
