yay was stuck on downloading the package for a while now and I confirmed the same by manually trying to download the package with curl. I just temporarily disabled ipv6 and re-enabled after running yay successfully.

This package is already updated automatically via CI.

I created a script that can automatically update PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO according to the latest VSCode release information.

This is an infrastructure issue with the internet network, wherever it is... Multiple users are reporting this. I switched to a different ISP and the download worked. 🤗

The source codes aren't downloading. It's been like this for days. What's going on? 👀

@hello-world150 there is no bug. Read the previous comments.

I met the same question. The sha256sums of "code-1.103.0.desktop.in" matched failed. Could you please fix the bug? Like just change the sha256sums.

@chocolateimage my previous clean-build did not succeed, but now I'm not sure if I really chosen "clean-build" last time. This time it works - thank you! @mkurz - yes, proxy caches may also had some issue here - thanks.

Regarding the sha256sums for code-1.103.0.desktop.in
I had the same problem. After looking at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode/1.102.2/resources/linux/code.desktop
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode/1.102.3/resources/linux/code.desktop
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode/1.103.0/resources/linux/code.desktop
I found out that the line Name[cs]=Nové prázdné okno
was missing in the newer releases. However after hard reloading the files via CTRL+F5 the missing line suddenly appeared again.
So it seems that the developers fixed the files (like re-tagged the releases with the correct files) and it took some time for proxy caches to catch up.
Just try to reload the file until all three look equals and try again? Not sure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)
This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the license difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open source version.
Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date. If there is no new version on that page, it's not yet released. A tag on Github is NOT a release! If you can see the new version on the updates page but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within a day or two.
Sometimes AUR helpers do weird things. Download the tarball and install it manually with
makepkg -si
. If that works, report the problem to your AUR helper's upstream, not here.xdg-open
uses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?Install shared-mime-info-gnome. Also see this reddit thread.
Just because $X is not required to open the app, doesn't mean there is nothing that depends on it. Always search the comment history on AUR to see if that dependency has been previously discussed before writing your own comment. Still nothing? Then use namcap to make sure it's really not needed. If namcap doesn't complain, please leave a comment here and I'll investigate.
The problem might be a packaging issue (wrong paths, dependencies, icons), so please write a comment here first. If you don't get a reply, or if someone says it's an upstream issue, you can report it on Github.
No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.
