vscode: --user-data-dir not not taken into account

[nclemeur]

I was trying to add the MCP server in vscode and could not manage to get installed in vscode. So looking in the code I believe this could be because I am using the --user-data-dir options. See here.

Looking in the code it seems that the config is using APPDATA environment variable (for windows at least) for the configuration. See here.

This is probably not correct when using --user-data-dir command line switch

Do you remember which command you ran that yielded this result?

[nclemeur]

That was just:
npx -y @vuetify/mcp config

which just return with no output at all when running. Then I tried to run it using npx -y @vuetify/mcp, it's starting something (I have the message "Welcome to the Vuetify MCP Server". It's running but no showing in the "MCP Servers" view in VSCode. And when I try to use it in the chat, it does not seems to work see screenshot below:

@AndreyYolkin can you help with this?

@nclemeur can you try the PR #18 locally? It works on my computer™

How to

1. Clone the repo
2. run pnpm install
3. run pnpm build
4. run node dist/cli/index.js

@AndreyYolkin , sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately this is still not working in my environment. But I think the issue, is that I don't have vscode (code) in the path (I am starting vscode from a shortcut), and the script can't detect the IDE with the which command. So, I believe the script does not find anything to setup and therefore exit without doing anything. I think my setup is not really common, so maybe it's not worth spending too much time on that, maybe adding a few more diagnostics messages would help, but I think I can't probably use the manual configuration instead

Oh, yeah, my attempt was to peek into processes and take a look which command options they were using. I'm also working on per-project installation, so probably this would resolve the issue partialy
