Hi, any chance there is someone that could help me figure out why am I getting errors when trying to use Flint VS Code extension to create folders and modules in scripting?

I still get error like this:

`Ignition Gateway Provider not available`

When I try to create folder, it does nothing and throws this error, when I create a module, it throws the same error but creates the module.

I have the Project Scan Endpoint module installed. My local gateway is running in docker and i can reach it on localhost:9088, and can verify that the module is working. This is the config i use in VS Code:

```python
    "ignitionFlint.ignitionGateways": [
        {
            "label": "The_Project",
            "address": "http://localhost:9088",
            "projectPaths": ["/workspaces/bwdesign-docker/data-folder/projects/The_Project"],
            "updateDesignerOnSave": true,
            "forceUpdateDesigner": true,
            "supportsProjectScanEndpoint": true
        }
    ]

```

I tried providing projectPath as absolute, relative and this weird /workspaces path.

Does this GET request show `{"supported":true}`? This just makes sure your issue is with the VS Code extension and not the gateway module.

Just to be sure, when you say config file, you mean the `.code-workspace` for your project right? The correct way is to use a `.code-workspace` at the root of your project and then the projectPath’s are the relative paths.
