EDIT - I got Solargraph working with WSL / VS Code, but I couldn’t get SketchUp debugging working. So I switched to a Windows environment, and everything’s working fine.
The Solargraph issue: It seems that solargraph was scanning across directories in my VSCode workspace, and getting an error from a non-ASCII character - � . Specifically this character was in a comment within a ruby snippet included with Alex Schreyer’s ruby editor, version 4.3. I’ll message him.

=====================
Trying to set up for development & debugging in VSCode – following the guides here, and I’m having a problem with Solargraph:
Upon starting VSCode and loading a ruby file, I got:
Solargraph gem not found. Run gem install solargraph or update your Gemfile.
The gem was already installed. But I did some re-installing things and fiddling around and now I’m getting a new error:
Failed to start Solargraph: Error: [ArgumentError] invalid byte sequence in UTF-8
I do all my coding in WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS), and I’ve never been able to get Solargraph working. Otherwise, WSL has been great. I’m using VSCode & Windows Terminal (bash). Ruby 2.7.1 is installed to the Ubuntu WSL, via ruby-install / ch-ruby.
I installed gems to WSL (via Windows Terminal bash): solargraph, yarn, rubocop, sketchup-api-stubs.
which solargraph returns /home/bubba/.gem/ruby/2.7.1/bin/solargraph
I tried changing Solargraph: Command Path to that path – same error.
I also tried starting vscode via WSL bash code .
I can set up for development in Windows if I need to, but WSL has worked so nicely up until now. I hear that Ruby on Windows can be troublesome, but I’ve never tried it.
edit- I tried reinstalling everything ( WSL Ubuntu / Ruby / VSCode ) – this time installing ruby as user instead of root – same error. Upon reinstallation of VS Code I noticed it kept all my old settings and my local extensions – WSL extensions were wiped.
Encountered an unrelated issue of etc 1.2 having problems with ruby 2.7.1 – solved by deleting etc gem files and reinstalling gem install etc -v 1.1.0
