Biome plugin not working with WSL

[niklas-e]

I tried to use the plugin with a project in Windows Subsystem for Linux. I couldn't get it to work and tried to gather some relevant log entries from the IDEA logs.

First I tried with Automatic Biome configuration. The plugin seemingly loads fine, no errors. However the formatter hangs on save and I got this in the logs:

Then I tried with Manual Biome configuration pointing executable and biome.json to files inside WSL. The plugin immediately indicates the language server is terminated (screenshot below). In addition when saving any file the log contains entries about invalid path (see below).

Probably requires some additional handling to get it working with WSL, but I guess it should be doable since IDEA works nicely with WSL.

On a side note: would be worth it to add some error handling too, because especially with the automatic configuration there's no errors so the plugin just shows as not working or buggy for the user.

I've got somewhat of the same issue here. My situation is a little different as I'm running my server inside docker instead of inside WSL, but the issue is very likely to be the same thing since I expect in both cases, IntelliJ is being run as client/server.

The LSP server starts then exits immediately with error code 137 as can be seen in logs below.

I've read that exit code 137 can often mean running out of memory, but in my case everything looks perfectly fine from inside my docker container:

I'm not sure how to test if it's actually working, but when I run the command manually, it seems to be working, waiting for input and not exiting, so the lsp-proxy just won't stay up when running from the IDE.

I just noticed while running ps -aux that the lsp-proxy is actually running even though IntelliJ reports it as stopped.
