1.86.2.24054 is out and fix the issue.

Yup. Happens here too, and just in the last version “1.86.2” In the previous version “1.85.2” it don’t happen.

Going a little deeper into this, I discovered that the error is about the TS extension not founding this file here: “/usr/share/codium/resources/app/extensions/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js”. In fact, the 1.86.2 don’t even have the “node_modules” folder, so it can’t find the typescript stuff.

Hope it helps you guys to solve this problem!

oh!

Hello @daiyam, i’ve got the same error after updating VSCodium 1.85.2 to 1.86.2 OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS Thanks for your work frérot.

edit : I have also a Volar (Vue) extention installed and it try to find out typescript.js file but can’t. [Error - 22:49:51] Server initialization failed. Message: Request initialize failed with message: Can't find typescript.js or tsserverlibrary.js in /usr/share/codium/resources/app/extensions/node_modules/typescript/lib Code: -32603 I think that it will affect any extention that depends on this file.
