FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)

  • What is the difference between this package and the one in the community repo?

This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the licence difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open-source version.

  • There is a new version out, why is the package not updated?

This package depends on both the official tarball and files from GitHub. Please check this page AND this page before flagging as out-of-date. If the new version isn't on both pages, this package cannot be updated! If you can see the new version on both pages, but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within hours.

  • I'm using an AUR helper (yay, yaourt etc.) and I can't install it. Why?

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.

  • When I install this package xdg-open uses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?

Install shared-mime-info-gnome gnome-session which now includes mimemapps.

  • Why is $X a dependency? I don't like it.

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.

  • Something is broken with the app, where do I report it?

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.

  • I have a problem with this package, can I email you?

No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.

You should add "Provides: vscode" in the PKGBUILD, just like "code-oss" in the arch linux official repository.

@dcelasun @suienzan Thanks! :)

dcelasun commented on 2021-10-19 16:25 (UTC)

@suienzan, @francoism90: I've added those files, thanks for letting me know.

suienzan commented on 2021-10-19 06:44 (UTC)

@dcelasun I assume that @francoism90 is talking about the bash-completion and zsh-completions. There are completion definitions under resources/completions/ in vscode source. The code package in community repo set the @@APPNAME@@ and then install them.

ETA: Resolved by completely removing and reinstalling. Leaving the rest of my comment for the next person.

After updating to 1.61.1-1, I can no longer open code on any folder. I tried moving my Code folder from ~/.config to start fresh, no joy. I've since installed appmenu-gtk-module and no difference. Some suggestions on Stack Overflow indicate I should set DISPLAY in my shell, which didn't make a difference. I'm running Plasma 5.22.5. code was operational on the prior package version.

Here is me opening an arbitrary folder in verbose mode. Anybody else running into this?

@francoism what do you mean by completion? Be specific please.

francoism90 commented on 2021-10-13 09:59 (UTC)

@dcelasun Could you please add completion as seen in the code PKG? :)
