Fails to start server about esbonio HOT 3 CLOSED

@alcarney I think we can use issues like #733 to document such steps so you won't need to type it all the times.

Judging from the logs, I think most things are working however, the server is not able to find your Sphinx project (#779).

Since you are using the pre-release version, there are some breaking changes - the old config values like esbonio.sphinx.confDir no longer work, instead you can set esbonio.sphinx.buildCommand to something like ["sphinx-build", "-M", "html", "docs/source", "docs/build"] which should be enough to help the server find the project.

It's also worth noting that the pre-release version is not yet feature complete, so many features include most auto completions are not yet available.

I'm coming from the restructuredText extension and had the esbonio server installed manually before. There was a notifce to use this extension and it seems like it installed the pre-release by default. Switched back to the latest release version for now and it works, thanks!
