Language Support for Java isn't working in GitHub Codespaces

[snebjorn]

For some reason Language Support for Java isn't working in my GitHub Codespace. The extension seems to like being run there.
It was working a week or so ago but for some reason it just stopped and I cannot get it to function again.

Cleaning the project doesn't function

See this discussion for more info https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/35119

Environment

• Operating System: "linux", version: "5.4.0-1090-azure", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"
• JDK version: 11.0.16.1
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.72.0 (system setup)
• Java extension version: 1.11.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open https://github.com/snebjorn/openapi-generator/tree/feature/devcontainer in GitHub Codespaces
2. Observe Language Support for Java isn't working

Current Result

Language features like code navigation doesn't work in GitHub Codespaces.

Expected Result

Language features like code navigation should work.

I saw there is an error in console:

Will it help if you change the folder's permission?

[snebjorn]

thank you that put me on the right path - I think 😸

However this does seem like an issue with the extension

[renderer4] [error] [Extension Host] Error: command 'java.execute.workspaceCommand' not found
    at S._tryExecuteCommand (vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20VS%20Code/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:1715:3532)
    at S.executeCommand (vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20VS%20Code/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:1715:3414)

Seems like it tries to execute a command on my local VSCode, which doesn't have the extension installed, instead of executing it inside the GitHub Codespaces remote container

I think it's the permission issue that cause the java extension cannot be activated successfully, then the command not found exception is observed.

Hmm how do I do that?
I ran sudo chown -R vscode: /home/vscode and sudo chmod u+rwx /home/vscode but to no avail

I tested to create a codespaces for the spring-petclinic project and it works. Have no idea why your project has the permission issue. Let's wait to see the response from upstream: devcontainers/images#155

I opened https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator in Codespaces and the Java LS worked. So I'll close this issue as the folder permission is either solved or a user-specific issue.
