In our team, we use visual studio code (macOS, linux) for nodejs debugging.
As we work with several version of node, we need to specify the runtimeExecutable path in launch.json file. That works well.
However, we need to automate the generation of this file (launch.json), and for that we need to specify the home folder (~). Does someone know how to specify it ? I tryed ~, $HOME, ${HOME}, but none of these seems to work.
Thank you,
Alcyon
Try ${env:HOME}. See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks#_variable-substitution for a list of the allowed substitution vars, and how they work.

Whenever i try save a go file inside vc code i get this pop up Failed to run '/usr/local/go/bin/go env. The config change may not be applied correctly. . Also there is any no go intelliSense, code navigation, and code editing support.
I guess, you are using go modules and have go.mod file inside project directory. In this case, inside VsCode, go to preferences. Under extensions, select Go. Untick checkbox labelled "Infer GOPATH from the workspace root." for both "User" and "Workspace".
Close all terminal and VsCode instance, and restart VsCode. It should no longer display the error, and prompt message to install Go Tools. Else you can manually install go tools from VsCode (pressing crtl/cmd + shift + P), which will bring back intellisense and linting.
In case you are using Mac OS and installed Go via homebrew add
"go.goroot": "/opt/homebrew/opt/go/libexec"
To your settings.json file. The path may be different. Check it via export GOROOT="$(brew --prefix golang)/libexec".

I have solved this issue. The solution is that, create a new Golang project and move all the required logic files from older project to newer project and it will work. The problem is with .mod and .sum files. It is a older project that i have created on my other laptop that has Ubuntu based Feren OS. When I moved this project to my newer laptop that has Ubuntu based Zorin OS. It creates problem. So after trying lots of solution, I just created a new Golang project and moves all the required files and it works.
I'm new on this Makefile thing, and I'm having some issues trying to install the Makefile Extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
First of all, I'm using VS Code to connect to a remote machine, with RedHat8 kernel. It uses makefile and it works perfectly on a linux terminal, but now we are trying to migrate to VS Code.
So I was searching and I found this Makefile Extension.
On the extension settings, I have my Makefile Path defined, and it works, but I have some problem with the Make Path, because it is expecting a make.exe kind but I don't have any, because it's a linux server.
I know my make path is on /usr/bin/make, but it says it cannot find make path.
What should I put in there?
PS: Sorry for my bad english, and thank you!
You should not have to set the "Make Path" to anything, it should default to make.
By default the "Makefile Path" is ${workspaceFolder}/Makefile, but you can change it to whatever is required.
If you have a separate build folder, then it's better to set the "Make directory" instead.
For example, Debian packages are built under debian/build/main so set the makeDirectory like this:
{
"makefile.makeDirectory": "${workspaceFolder}/debian/build/main"
}
I am trying to make haskell-linter to work on VS Code on my windows 10 machine. Apparently you need to add a path to the .exe file for it to work. I get this error message.
Cannot hlint the haskell file. The hlint program was not found. Use the 'haskell.hlint.executablePath' setting to configure the location of 'hlint'
In the Dependencies options there is following information.
It expects a version of hlint >= 1.9.1 to be installed and already added to >the path. If it is installed but cannot be found, add the path to your >preferences as seen below"
"haskell.hlint.executablePath": "Path\To\Executable"
I tried adding a path in the system environment as such.
Variablename: haskell.hlint.executablePath
Variablevalue: C:\Users\name\.vscode\extensions\hoovercj.haskell-linter-0.0.6\node_modules\.bin
I am fairly sure the variable value is the thing wrong here. I think I need to find the path to the .exe file for for the extension, but I can't seem to find it in the folder containing the extension itself. There is probable an easy fix that I am just to inexperienced to see. Please help, and if you do, explain it as if I was 8. :)
Edit 1: I now know where to put the path to what i assume must be the .exe file for Haskell-linter, however i don't know where that file is. As stated i cant find any .exe files in the extension folder.
Edit 2: I reinstalled hlint and added the new path. it finally seems to work as intended.
Is there a way to launch Microsoft Visual Studio Code from the command line in windows? I can't even seem to find the directory for code on my computer. It didn't even ask me where to download it.
Navigate to the directory that you want to open and type code . to launch VS Code.
As many folks already suggested ways to open code from command prompt using code . command. This will only open Visual Studio Code Stable build. But If you have downloaded Visual Studio Code Insider build/version (Which has all latest build/features but unstable version) then you need to follow below instructions in windows :
Go to Control Panel\System and Security\System. Click on Advanced System Settings
Click on Environment Variables
Under System Variables tab, Click on Edit for Path Variable
Add a new path C:\Users\tsabu\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code Insiders\bin
(or)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code Insiders\bin based on location at which you have installed vscode insider in your machine.
Open a new command prompt and type code-insiders . to open vscode-insider
build/version
Short answer:
code your_path your_filename
Long answer:
Here your_path can simply be . if you want to use the current directory as your working path. Or .. for 1 level up, etc.
code is the name of the executable of Visual Studio Code (code.exe). If it doesn't launch, perhaps your VSC path hasn't been added to the path environment variable. Run this command to add it:
set PATH=";C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin"
Of course you'll need to specify a different path if your VSC is installed somewhere else.
How can you find out the installation path? (click for screenshot) Go to "Start" menu, type in "Visual Studio Code", right click on the found program, "Properties", check "Target". Now you'll see!
It may come already added to your path when installed. Try using code <filename> in your command line. If it's not you can add the command line script's directory to your path. The command line script's directory is downloaded by default in the following location
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Code\bin
Point your command prompt to the specific folder that has the file that you want to open. Let's say you want to open the file titled main.scss. Simply run this command:
start code main.scss
If Visual Studio Code is already open, you can simply do:
code main.scss
I have just started working with cocos2dx android and I am following wonderful tutorial of http://www.raywenderlich.com/33750/cocos2d-x-tutorial-for-ios-and-android-getting-started . Now, I have successfully run my first hello world demo project by following this link. I also set environment parameters:
NDK_ROOT_LOCAL="/MY ANDROID NDK PATH/"
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT_LOCAL="/MY ANDROID SDK PATH/"
I followed tutorial perfectly as given in it, still I am facing problem while running my project second time, means I have to export DNK_ROOT every time from terminal to run my project & it's really tired and seemed not working for my further implementation.. and while I run project it says please define NDK_ROOT though I already define
second thing
I also manually define these variables in my .bash profile (create-android-project.sh) this way
NDK_ROOT_LOCAL = "/MY ANDROID NDK PATH/"
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT_LOCAL = "/MY ANDROID SDK PATH/"
What am I missing in setting up this?
To make those variables permanent (so every terminal shell you open hereafter has then) use your favorite text editor to update your bash profile (I chose vi to keep it in the terminal)
NOTE: the use of "~" in a path is just shorthand for your user directory. In your case it appears to be synonymous with saying "~" = "/Users/alex"
vi ~/.bash_profile
add the following lines and save (update these names and paths to match your actual environment, I am assuming everything is in the root of your user directory here):
export NDK_ROOT_LOCAL=~/android-ndk-r10b
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT_LOCAL=~/sdk
Use source to run the profile in the current terminal session or just open a new terminal
source ~/.bash_profile
You can test to see if the variables are defined here (use whatever you named them)
echo $NDK_ROOT_LOCAL
echo $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT_LOCAL
[EDIT: noted that paths need to be tuned to your environment]
this way i can define my NDK ROOT
export NDK_ROOT=/Users/alex/android-ndk-r8b
If you are using MAC OSX please consider adding NDK_ROOT variable in Environments file. Linux directly read it when the instance of bash is initiated but in MAC you need to add it in a bit more detail. Try adding it.
