Clang-tidy not working

[bcaddy]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get clang-tidy working on VS Code all day and getting nowhere. Occasionally it will seem like it's working then it will just randomly stop. I've reinstalled VS Code on the remote server, manually set the clang-tidy path, and manually set the .clang-tidy path and those don't change anything.

Reproduce

// testFile.h

namespace mhd
{
namespace utils
{

}  // namespace utils
}  // namespace mhd

// testFile.cu
#include "testFile.h"

This should throw a warning related to modernize-concat-nested-namespaces saying that I can concatenate the two namespaces. I get that error when running clang-tidy on the command line but not when running within VSC. There's no flame icon in the lower right corner either.

I'm really tearing my hair out. Any suggestions?

Edit: it randomly started working again but I'm getting weird buggy behaviour so I opened Issue #10375
