VSCode extension development unable to use provideInlineCompletionItems - visual-studio-code

Question

I've tried so many variations of this from code I found on github using the provideInlineCompletionItems function but cannot seem to get it to work. Is there something I am doing wrong?
const vscode = require('vscode');
function activate(context) {
const provider = {
provideInlineCompletionItems: async (document, position, context, token) => {
const txt = 'hi'
return [
{
text: txt,
insertText: txt,
range:new vscode.Range(position.translate(0, txt.length), position)
}
]
},
};
vscode.languages.registerInlineCompletionItemProvider({pattern: "**"}, provider);
}
exports.activate = activate;
function deactivate() {}
module.exports = {
activate,
deactivate
};
Even with https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/125663 and "editor.inlineSuggest.enabled": true, set to true it doesn't work. I know inline suggestions works since I have github copilot, I just can't seem to get it to work. Copilot is also disabled so they don't interfere

I rollbacked a version of VSCode and it works now. this is the debug code I used.
// The module 'vscode' contains the VS Code extensibility API
// Import the module and reference it with the alias vscode in your code below
const vscode = require('vscode');
// This method is called when your extension is activated
// Your extension is activated the very first time the command is executed
/**
* #param {vscode.ExtensionContext} context
*/
function activate(context) {
// Use the console to output diagnostic information (console.log) and errors (console.error)
// This line of code will only be executed once when your extension is activated
console.log('Congratulations, your extension "seven" is now active!');
// The command has been defined in the package.json file
// Now provide the implementation of the command with registerCommand
// The commandId parameter must match the command field in package.json
let disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand('seven.helloWorld', function () {
// The code you place here will be executed every time your command is executed
// Display a message box to the user
vscode.window.showInformationMessage('Hello World from seven!');
});
const provider = {
provideInlineCompletionItems: async (document, position, context, token) => {
const line = document.lineAt(position.line);
console.log("420")
if (line.text.startsWith('if')) {
console.log("421")
let range = line.range;
if (line.text.indexOf(";") !== -1) {
console.log("423")
range = new vscode.Range(range.start, range.end.with(undefined, line.text.indexOf(";") + 1));
}
console.log("424")
return [{ text: 'if (hello) {\n};', insertText: "if (hello)", range }];
}
}
};
vscode.languages.registerInlineCompletionItemProvider({ pattern: '**' }, provider);
context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
}
// This method is called when your extension is deactivated
function deactivate() {}
module.exports = {
activate,
deactivate
}
