VSCode extension on Google Cloud Editor

[ckir]

Hi,

I'm trying to start a project at Google Cloud Shell. So far, I have discovered that to make the server start, you have to sudo apt install libinput-tools

For the live preview, I'm getting errors

The Slint live preview crashed! Please open a bug on the Slint bug tracker.

Is it possible to use it?

I am not familiar with the google could editor, but it would be great to make it working.
The google cloud editor is a fork of Visual Studio Code?
Where does the server run (the slint-lsp), does it run on your own machine, or "in the cloud"?

The error indicate that Slint can't open a suitable display server (neither connection to x11, wayland, or even the framebuffer was possible), meaning the slint-lsp probably run in some sort of container that doesn't have access to graphics.

In VSCode, there is an option in the setting to use the Slint › Preview: Provided By Editor setting to render using wasm on the client. Does that work?

Ideally we should detect this kind of setting and always fallback to that setting but that hasn't been implemented.
