EdgeJS and VSCode

[mat-mcloughlin]

Hey Guys,

This might be a bit of stab in the dark but I'm looking for some helping regarding calling out to EdgeJS from VSCode for a small project I'm working on

I imagine the problem is regarding recompiling but I'm not sure where to go. So any help would be appreciated

The error I'm currently getting is

Activating extension `test` failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
c:\Git\test\node_modules\edge\lib\native\win32\ia32\4.1.1\edge_nativeclr.node.
Activating extension `test` failed:  %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Here is the error stack:  Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

What app are you building? Is this regular desktop CLR app, a CoreCLR app, or something else?

[mat-mcloughlin]

Ah I may not have been clear in my description. This a VsCode extension that I am building

Any updates on this thread?

Hey guys: I have got a same error ,have you solved this problem?

[mat-mcloughlin]

utimatley I ended up approaching my problem in a different way and build a console app in which to communicate with

[Huachao]

@mat-mcloughlin, can this way work cross-platform?

[mat-mcloughlin]

It can, depending on how you build it, but takes more effort. Take a look at the https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn project for some examples. Starting up the console application and then communicating with it via stdin and stdout

[Huachao]

So we can achieve this by writing the cross platform application based on .Net Core?

[mat-mcloughlin]

yup, pretty much

Same problem here.

I am also facing the same problem. I am running VS Code version 1.36.1 which uses Node.JS version 10.11.0

I use npm to get edge and use build.bat to build "release" against "10.11.0" target. When activating my plugin, my plugin would run require('edge'). When attempting to load the edge module, I also hit the error "not a valid Win32 Application".

any update on this? I'd much rather call my dlls from Edge.js then using stdin/stdout :-|

@mat-mcloughlin: If stdin/stdout is the only viable option, is there a simple tutorial as how to implement this? The code base of OmniSharp is just too big and complext for me to see through :-(
