I have tried setting the sonicPiRootDirectory in the extension preferences and in the settings.json inside the examples directory, with variations on the empty string in Sonic Pi.app to no avail.

    Thanks for the help, I would love to be able to edit sonic pi code and run it easily from VSCode, the editor inside the Sonic Pi app is rough!

    Turns out I needed to double escape the space in it. So setting it like this worked:

    "/Applications/Sonic\\ Pi.app/Contents/Resources"

    However, the startup is hanging in initAndCheckPorts here

    I am not sure I want to dig into that right now

    Hi @drewgbarnes

    I just tried this plugin today and found it not to work. It doesn’t work with sonic pi v4.3 and looks like it isn't compatible with 4.x in general.

    This is because

    /Applications/Sonic Pi.app/Contents/Resources/app/server/ruby/bin/sonic-pi-server.rb

    doesn’t exist, I mean the file sonic-pi-server.rb doesn’t exist.
    There seems to be a new file called spider-server.rb a new server maybe?

    I tried to create a symbolic link so sonic-pi-server.rb points to spider-server.rb
    This got me further but crashed out with errors I would guess spider-server.rb’s API is just too different?

    Generally, with software lifecycles, a major version update (e.g 3->4) you can expect major API changes.

    So it looks like this plugin needs to be updated for sonic pi v4.x ?

    or in the meantime you could try rolling back to sonic pi 3.x ?

    I have raised a ticket #24

    scripts like

    port-discovery.rb which the extension calls are no longer available in v4.x so it can not find the port to connect.
    Looks like it needs to work with a completely different setup.
