Example vim configuration won't work with nimsuggest path

In the readme it says to use this config

"nimsuggestPath": "~/.nimble/bin/nimsuggest"

I found that it was not finding nimsuggest with the following error

Unable to start nimsuggest. ~/.nimble/bin/nimsuggest is not present on the PATH

But it was there, and when I changed it to be an expanded path it works, i.e. /home/wes/.nimble/bin/nimsuggest.

Clearly something is supposed to expand that path and isn't.

@nickysn I was able to repro this on VIM (not NVIM) with nimlangserver installed with nimble install nimlangserver and using coc. The fix mentioned with hardcoding the path seems to fix it, but would be helpful to know if this is WSL2 specific or not. I was running wsl2.

Probably not. I fixed the issue, and I don't use WSL, I use Fedora, so I could probably reproduce this under a real Linux distro. However, I don't remember the specific details, if you really won't to be 100% sure, you have to test under real Linux distros in a VM. In other words, I'm 99% sure it's not WSL specific, but if you need 100%, you need to test it. Why are you asking?
