workspace.library works for the addon, but workspace.userThirdParty does not

[evmorov]

This is more of a question than a bug report because I might be doing something wrong.

Here's my simple code using the lpeg Lua library I installed using luarocks:

local lpeg = require("lpeg")

p = lpeg.R("az") ^ 1 * -1
print(p:match("hello"))
print(lpeg.match(p))

It works (an intentional error is included to test the LSP Addon).

I downloaded the lpeg addon from here: https://github.com/LuaCATS/lpeg.

evgenii.morozov:~/projects/lls-addons $ tree
.
└── lpeg
    ├── LICENSE
    ├── README.md
    ├── config.json
    └── library
        └── lpeg.lua

I added the following .luarc.json to the root of my project:

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LuaLS/vscode-lua/master/setting/schema.json",
  "workspace.library": [
    "~/projects/lls-addons/lpeg/library"
  ]
}

This setup works. However, if I change it to:

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LuaLS/vscode-lua/master/setting/schema.json",
  "workspace.checkThirdParty": "Apply",
  "workspace.userThirdParty": [
    "~/projects/lls-addons"
  ]
}

It doesn't work. According to https://luals.github.io/wiki/addons/#automatically-enabling, it seems it should be automatically enabled because the addon includes config.json.

Am I missing something?

My env:

• MacOS
• Using both VSCode and Intellij IDEA
• Lua 5.4.7

userThirdParty does't support ~, while library supports it.

.luarc.json:

  "workspace.userThirdParty": [
    "/Users/evgenii.morozov/projects/lls-addons"
  ],

Making it like that solved the issue.
