Autocomplete not working, can’t resolve modules

[0zl]

I just installed the DMD Compiler to start learning and writing some simple D applications. I followed the instructions, but I’m having trouble getting autocomplete to work in VS Code.

From the code-d editor output, it looks like the extension might be having issues resolving the module/standard library (maybe).

Reproduce

1. Initialize a Dub project using either the code-d command or dub init.
2. Write some basic code:

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    writeln("Hello, World!");
    writeln("This is a D program.");
}

Editor Output

[warning] C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\dub\packages\dsymbol\0.11.3\dsymbol\src\dsymbol\conversion\first.d:384:visit Could not locate object.d or object.di
[warning] C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\dub\packages\dsymbol\0.11.3\dsymbol\src\dsymbol\conversion\first.d:481:visit Could not resolve location of module 'std\stdio'

Additional Information

• OS: Windows 10
• DMD Installation: Installed via Scoop (scoop install dmd)
• DMD Version: DMD64 D Compiler v2.109.1
• Editor: Visual Studio Code

I noticed the user in the error path is runneradmin, which is different from my Windows username. Not sure if that’s expected or if it’s related to the issue.

I’m new to D, so apologies if I’m missing something obvious.

I am unfamiliar with Scoop, and this might be a Scoop issue. If you know where Scoop installed DMD, search for "@ext:webfreak.code-d path" in VS Code Settings and specify the Dmd Path accordingly, perhaps that helps.

Never mind, finding DMD is not your issue. DMD cannot find its runtime library, which I suspect is an installation issue.
