03/14/2025, 7:52 PMHi all!
Is there a known issue with installation of BoxLang 1.1.0 on VSCodium 1.98 for Zorin (deb) LINUX?
Specifically the "The BoxLang extension requires Java 21 or higher"... notification flashing 64 times during each startup, config change and extension restart, even tho I've given it the correct path to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-23.0.2-oracle-x64/bin
??

03/14/2025, 7:59 PMThanks Jacob. Here's a quick grab in case you can see something amiss right off the bat. This stuff is often user error in my case ;-]

03/14/2025, 8:01 PMA couple of suggestions. Can you try and remove the
/binBoxLang: Output Version Infoa
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:03 PMDid you mean the 1.1.0 from my OP?
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:05 PMThe loss of /bin might have done it... hold on.
After that, try hitting `ctrl`+`shift`+`p` and runWhere would the results appear?and share the result here.BoxLang: Output Version Info

03/14/2025, 8:05 PMThat command should open a new text editor with the output

03/14/2025, 8:09 PMHmm, if removing the
/bin1.3.14a
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:10 PMNope, the flashing message is back after restarting the IDE
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:11 PMsorry 😔
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:11 PMIt's set to auto update, but this is Linux, so maybe that doesn't apply?
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:12 PMRemove and re-install ?

Jacob Beers
03/14/2025, 8:13 PMNo worries! I'm sorry it's giving you so much trouble!
You can give that a shot. I think I will probably need to spin up a VM similar to your environment and see what is going on.

alholden
03/14/2025, 8:14 PMI'll try that first, before you go thru the hassle

Jacob Beers
03/14/2025, 8:14 PMOh! One more place you could look for information - open the output tab (usually at the bottom of your editor) and select the "BoxLang" option. If you can share the output of that channel that may help debug.

03/14/2025, 8:16 PMWell I've already hit Uninstall...
But it's still listed there, under Installed extensions now.
Only the settings gear is gone...
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:17 PMrestarting it again
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:18 PMOK, now it's really gone, installing again...
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:20 PMhmmm. You're not in the Marketplace are you... I'll need to D/L the latest vsix apparently
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:29 PMOK well I've uninstalled the extension, and it's not in the Marketplace, and I need to digest the web site instructions on how to get it back again...
so I'll return here eventually, thanks for the help.
alholden
03/14/2025, 8:51 PMCommand line ext install doesn't work. It wants a local file.
I'm too dumb to locate the vsix for 1.3.14 online.
So just reinstalled from the orig 1.1.0 I downloaded last July.
Back to square one, I'll either file a ticket if I get a rush of energy or just turn notifications off.
