求助：VS Code中的Motoko语言扩展无法显示语法错误下划线

Hey fellow Motoko developer! I know how frustrating it is when core IDE features like error underlines don't work—let's go through some practical steps to get this sorted out:

• Check the Motoko Language Server logs
  Open VS Code's Output panel (press Ctrl+Shift+U on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+U on Mac), then select "Motoko Language Server" from the dropdown. Look for any error messages here—common issues include failed server startup, missing dependencies, or path conflicts. If you see red error entries, that's likely the root cause.

• Verify DFINITY SDK version compatibility
  Make sure your local dfx version matches the requirements listed in the Motoko extension's VS Code Marketplace page. Run dfx --version in your terminal to check your current version. If there's a mismatch, upgrade or downgrade dfx using dfx upgrade or specifying a version like dfx install 0.15.0.

• Reset Motoko extension settings to default
  Sometimes custom settings can break the language server. Open VS Code settings (Ctrl+, / Cmd+,), search for "Motoko", and reset any modified settings (look for the tiny reset icon next to each setting) to their default values. Pay special attention to motoko.languageServer.path if you manually configured it.

• Reinstall the extension and clear cache
  Uninstall the Motoko extension from VS Code, then close the editor entirely. Navigate to your VS Code extensions directory:

  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
  • Mac/Linux: ~/.vscode/extensions
    Delete the folder named something like dfinity-foundation.vscode-motoko-*, then restart VS Code and reinstall the extension. This clears any corrupted cache files.

• Ensure your workspace is trusted
  VS Code's Workspace Trust feature can restrict extensions from accessing project files. If your project is in an untrusted folder, click the "Trust Workspace" button in the bottom-left corner to grant the Motoko extension full access—this is necessary for the language server to analyze your code for errors.

• Test with a fresh project
  Create a brand new Motoko project using dfx new test-motoko-project, then open it in VS Code. If error underlines work here, the issue is probably with your existing project's configuration (like a malformed dfx.json or conflicting dependencies). Compare the fresh project's setup with yours to spot differences.

If none of these steps fix the issue, sharing the full logs from the Motoko Language Server output panel would help narrow down the problem further.
