Error "connection got disposed off" (but not on save as in #247 and #142 but on start/load) about vscode-reasonml

This sounds related to #236

Try setting reason.path.ocamlmerlin to "ocamlmerlin-server"

P.S.: If this helps, I can provide a set of CMD and bash scripts which exactly reproduce my environment from scratch, including setting up cygwin, opam and compiling Merlin for MinGW.

I just encountered the same problem. Same Windows 10.

Thanks, indeed this works!

P.S.: There is one more caveat: I found that sometimes VSCode leaves hidden processes after closing and if it is started from the command line, it might pick up this hidden process rather than creating a new one. This has the effect that VSCode has the wrong environment, notably possibly a wrong path without ocamlmerlin-server. In case you have unreproducible errors, open a terminal from VSCode and inspect that PATH. If the PATH is wrong, close VSCode, check that there are no VSCode processes left (or kill them) and restart.
