proxy issue: log in time out

[shaoxul]

Dear friends,

For the sake of the gateway firewall, the http proxy must be used to connect internet.
But the log-in always times out. It looks like to try to connect to the leetcode server directly instead of through the proxy.

Is there any configuration I missed?

@shaoxul Hmm, I have not met this problem before. But just found that the VS Code has proxy related settings. Maybe you can have a try?

[shaoxul]

@jdneo Thank you for your reply. Yes, I tried, but it works for the VS code itself(e.g. extension market), but not works for this this extension.

So far, I have no idea what I can do for your problem...

Need some more investigation here...

@shaoxul I have met the same problem as you.

@edvardchen Provided a solution in #147.

Root Cause

The root cause is that when we trigger a leetcode-cli command, we will spawn a new child_process to send the request, which may bypass the proxy setting in VS Code.

Solution

So, we need to read the proxy setting of VS Code. and set it in the created child_process.

New Behavior

Now the extension should honor the proxy setting in VS Code

More details can be found in #147. And the fix will be released in 0.11.0
