Is it possible to have the extension activated after LSP being activated?

[Vivecccccc]

Hi, my extension needs to call vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider command for certain documents upon the extension being activated. However, I discovered that this command would not return anything other than undefined until syntax highlighting on the UI was effected.

Given that typescript features may be quickly activated, other languages may not be this case. My initial thought was to have my extension being activated after the LSP extension, e.g., ms-python.python, but this #595 proved it to be not possible. Still, I am expecting if extension of LSP may have any exempt.

Sincerely appreciate for any advice.

You can call await sleep to wait for LSP to be activated. While this might not be the ideal solution, it is straightforward.

Thank you. It seems to be the only possible workaround so far.
