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 license 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?

Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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.

  • 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. Also see this reddit thread.

  • 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.

@nix6839, since that was done on purpose, you should report it upstream.

Please re-add "StartupWMClass". Without it, an error occurs. The error is as follows the dock contains multiple copies of the same icon.

@teohhanhui, thanks for the heads up. This should be working now, e.g xdg-open vscode://file/etc/pacman.conf or xdg-open vscode-insiders://file/etc/pacman.conf for the insiders build.

teohhanhui commented on 2018-12-14 16:29 (UTC)

Please add the code-url-handler.desktop file (visual-studio-code-url-handler.desktop in our case) to support vscode:// URIs. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/pull/56727 and https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/pull/63750

I'm on Manjaro Deepin, and VS Code cannot access my system-wide $PATH variable. I am not being able to properly debug .net core apps because of that.

On VS Code, "echo $PATH" prints:

/home/matfantinel/.nvm/versions/node/v11.3.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl

Which seems to be a default configuration, but doesn't update if I set $PATH outside of it. If I set the variable inside VS Code Terminal, it will reset after restart.

I've noticed this behavior in the Flatpak version of VS Code in Linux Mint once. In that case, installing from the website worked.

For delete to trash to work, this environment variable needs to be set: ELECTRON_TRASH=gio

(or trash-cli, kioclient5, kioclient)

there is new code version build specially for the flatmap-stream https://dev.azure.com/vscode/VSCode/_build/results?buildId=10878&view=logs

ckolos commented on 2018-11-26 22:57 (UTC)

version 1.29.1 uses/installs flatmap-stream 0.1.1 for the references-view extension.

If you have installed this package, you should read over https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream/issues/116#issue-382854428 and determine if you are affected or not.
