Error loading module 'socket.core'

[Hesimark]

What I expected to happen
When running code/simulation (F5 or F6)the error code:

Exception has occurred: error loading module 'socket.core' from file 'c:/Users/Johannes/.vscode/extensions/nameouschangey.lifeboatapi-0.0.33/assets/luasocket/dll/socket/core.dll':
The specified module could not be found.

Additional info
It worked last week, and no changes with updates or so on. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension without luck.

This is my first installation of the extension.
I get the same error when I start debugging a script that is created automatically when creating a project.
Stacktrace is the same.
The assembly runs without errors.

quick fix for now is to use lua debug [actboy 168] version 2.0.2 or 1.61.0 these should work

this is also causing issues with simulating scripts. i have had issues with running scripts and no errors show at all. downgrading Lua Debug to 1.61.0 fixed the issue.

For some reason, Lua Debug [actboy 168] version 2.0.2 did not work for me, but version 1.16.0 did.

Hi,
I'm getting the same issue following installation of the addon within VSCode on Mac, and attempting to simulate the example created in a new project.
I've tried using debug [actboy 168] 2.0.2, 1.61.0 and even 1.16.0 (which I suspect wat a typo) - and I get the same error with each.
Is there a way of getting this to work on mac?

Is there a way of getting this to work on mac?

Just seen the following Requirements section, right at the bottom of the Extension Details:

The LifeBoatAPI simulator was written for Windows, unfortunately as Nameous Changey has no access to a Mac - this is unlikely to change in the near future; unless there is significant demand for it to be ported.

Quick glance at the source code for the simulator, and I see it is using .Net Framework 4.7.2 - and Possibly also WPF?

Core .Net functionality is available on Mac - but WPF has never been directly ported - from what I understand, .NET MAUI is now available - but that is a completely new product which shares some commonality, but for which there is no direct migration path - so if this is being used, I rmaybe a PITA to migrate...
