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 the official tarball. Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date. If the new version isn't on that page, this package cannot be updated! If you can see the new version there, 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.

I'm having a problem when I try to open an ASP.NET Core app. I've never had this problem before. In the bottom right corner I get a notification saying:

Some projects have trouble loading. Please review the output for more details.

There's more in the "show more output", including a stacktrace. This gist (https://gist.github.com/welkie/1ab978ff495124700fb8db64d0564364) includes that, along with my versions of "mono" and "msbuild". I didn't have the msbuild package installed yet, but my troubleshooting led me to manually install that to try to solve this. This GitHub issue (https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/2267) details the error when I reported it.

Using the C# plugin, I keep getting the following error: "The .NET CLI tools cannot be located. .NET Core debugging will not be enabled. Make sure .NET CLI tools are installed and on the path."

How do I resolve this?

EDIT: I just renamed my "~/.vscode/extensions" directory before changing and then renamed it back, after renaming the newly created one.

@Anty0 I realise that it replaces "visual-studio-code": "Replaces: visual-studio-code". But will the installed extensions be retained. I'm not looking forward to re-installing and re-configuring a lot of extensions. I know where to find my code config file.

@Twiki Just install "visual-studio-code-bin", it automatically replaces "visual-studio-code". Or have you got any problem with it?

Twiki commented on 2018-04-10 14:58 (UTC) (edited on 2018-04-10 14:59 (UTC) by Twiki)

Hello,

Is there a "proper" way to go from "visual-studio-code" to "visual-studio-code-bin". Right now I'm editing the 2 "visual-studio-code" installer files feeding makepkg, but it's a bit cumbersome.

dcelasun commented on 2018-04-07 18:15 (UTC)

@Sanya_M Please search for inode/directory on this link.

amezin commented on 2018-04-07 15:24 (UTC)

Please, remove "inode/directory;" from MimeTypes in the .desktop file. When "inode/directory" is there, Gnome tries to automatically open connected MTP device (phone) in Visual Studio and do other crazy things

igvalor commented on 2018-04-07 10:31 (UTC)

Looks like the problem with unresolved symbol is SOLVED. There was a rogue installation of nwjs in /opt on my system. Removed /opt/nwjs and all work again. My bad. Sorry.

@Alad, @dotfile: no, when I uninstall c++ addons, it doesn't work. And now I use visual-code-git(aur), which works well(also install c++ addons). emmm, It's strange. maybe something broken in dependencies.
