VSC not showing any problems

[MFredX]

Describe the bug
No Betterer problems appear on VS Code when the Betterer extension is installed

To Reproduce
I have initialized my Betterer project using npx @betterer/cli init and currently 2671 issues exist

My betterer.ts file is defined as;

import { typescript } from '@betterer/typescript';

export default {
  'strictNullChecks compilation': () =>
    typescript('./tsconfig.json', {
      strictNullChecks: true
    }).include('./src/**/*.ts')
};

Expected behavior
I expect the Problems tab on VS Code to show Betterer problems

Observed behavior

These are logs from the Betterer Output Terminal

^ This is super interesting! Does the problem go away if you restart VS Code?

[MFredX]

I have restarted VS Code, the following logs came up. The same error and no change was overserved in the problems tab

[phenomnomnominal]

Oooh do you have --debug enabled somehow? Or BETTERER_DEBUG set?

[MFredX]

Are you referring to this setting?

[phenomnomnominal]

Yes, if you turn that off does it work? It's something I need to remove, but just curious if that fixes it!

[MFredX]

This seems to change the logs shown in the Output tab.

The following error does not come up now

Error: Cannot find module './register'

The new logs are;

However, I see no errors on the Problem tab.

When I do run npm run betterer results the app/shared/services/store.service.ts is shown to have issues

  Object is possibly 'undefined'. - C:/Users/xxxx/Documents/app/ui/src/app/shared/services/store.service.ts:150:8

The logs above don't seem to pick these issues up;

i am having the same issue here, Error: cannot find module './register'

i can confirm that disabling Debug fixes it and it now shows issue properly
