Visual Studio code error for "openHAB Language Server": "getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND openhabianpi"

[ErikDB87]

Expected Behavior

The openHAB Language Server loads.

Current Behavior

I think I read all the documentation I can find, but I'm still encountering an error. Let's start with setting the scene: I've made some changes to settings.json:

{
    "openhab.connection.basicAuth.password": "myAPItoken, which I didn't include here",
    "openhab.connection.host": "192.168.1.9",
    "openhab.connection.port": 8080
}

Setting openhab.connection.host to 192.168.1.9 finally made openHAB extension work. Figuring this out took me some time. :)

But now the openHAB Language Server still trips over openhabianpi, which I don't really understand. Where does it get that from...? This is the error:

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND openhabianpi
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (node:dns:108:26) {
  errno: -3008,
  code: 'ENOTFOUND',
  syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
  hostname: 'openhabianpi'
}

I searched package.json, found here (https://github.com/openhab/openhab-vscode/blob/main/package.json) for openhabianpi, and only found it under openhab.host So I tried adding it to settings.json:

{
    "openhab.connection.basicAuth.password": "myAPItoken, which I didn't include here",
    "openhab.connection.host": "192.168.1.9",
    "openhab.host": "192.168.1.9",
    "openhab.connection.port": 8080
}

But then Visual Studio compains about "deprecated config values":

My initial reaction was "so what", but then it turns out, the openHAB Language Server is no longer in the dropdown menu (which I assume means it's not being loaded):

The actual problem
In order to escape any 'XY problem', this is what I want: I want to write rules in Visual Studio (on my Windows 11 pc) directly to M:\, which is \\192.168.1.9\openHAB-conf. From my understanding, that's how it should be setup? (192.168.1.9 is a Linux pc, and I installed via apt, so no Openhabian, if that matters.)

But without openHAB Language Server (I at least assume that's the missing piece), there's no visualisation of the code (for example: "rules.JSRULe" is not in colors, as I would expect it):

(I also don't understand what's supposed to be wrong with line 1, but that's another matter (or is it because openHAB Language Server isn't loaded?):

PS This is a copy of https://community.openhab.org/t/visual-studio-code-error-for-openhab-language-server-getaddrinfo-enotfound-openhabianpi/152191/1, but maybe it's a bug, rather than my configuration not being on point?

I believe (!) that this.globalSettings.host and this.globalSettings.port should have been changed to this.globalSettings.connection.host and this.globalSettings.connection.port respectively here

openhab-vscode/serverJS/src/Server.js

Line 73 in f470214

const err = await this.itemsCompletionProvider.start(this.globalSettings.host, this.globalSettings.port)

and here

openhab-vscode/serverJS/src/Server.js

Line 90 in f470214

this.itemsCompletionProvider.restartIfConfigChanged(this.globalSettings.host, this.globalSettings.port)

Patching this locally makes the error disappear, but I'm unsure whether the validation now actually works.

I do have this issue also.

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND openhabianpi
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookupall [as oncomplete] (node:dns:120:26) {
  errno: -3008,
  code: 'ENOTFOUND',
  syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
  hostname: 'openhabianpi'
}

The actual strange issue here is that my OpenHAB server is not "openhabianpi". I have no idea where this name comes from.

I have configured openhab.connection.host, openhab.connection.port and openhab.connection.authToken correctly.

@tl-photography and @ErikDB87 try adding an extra line "openhab.host": "openhab.site.com"

This seems to be deprecated.
