Oh, that's on Linux, and I don't have powershell installed ;-) The status line shows that there is a problem with starting the language server.

Would be nice to show a nicer error with a link to the install instructions.

we recently published an update to our extension which has addressed a number of underlying architectural issues, would you mind giving it a try and letting us know if you are still hitting this issue?

This issue is being closed as inactive, if this issue is still occurring it will be re-opened
