Why I always get a warning that Ocamlformat_rpc is not installed?

[anentropic]

Every time I start VS Code with my ocaml project open I get a notification warning:

But opam list in the VS Code terminal shows:

ocamlformat           0.19.0      Auto-formatter for OCaml code
ocamlformat-rpc-lib   0.19.0      Auto-formatter for OCaml code (RPC mode)

and everything seems to work ok (but maybe I'm silently missing out on some auto formatting?)

How do I make it happy?

You should install the package ocamlformat-rpc. It should be mentioned in this repo’s readme btw

[anentropic]

Install it where? I thought I already had it installed - see above

You only have ocamlformat-rpc-lib installed. You need to install ocamlformat-rpc.

Ah, thanks! It seems obvious, but I wasn't seeing it 🤦

The error message isn't exactly obvious. We should hint at the correct package in that message.

I improved the error message in ocamllsp#master.

thanks 👍

another notification I just encountered in another project:

I think this message could be improved in a similar way - I believe the opam package that should be upgraded is called ocaml-lsp-server rather than ocamllsp?
