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Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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

not sure if something changed in the past two days but the latest release 0.10.10 is 5b5f4db87c10345b9d5c8d0bed745bcad4533135 and is available at https://az764295.vo.msecnd.net/stable/5b5f4db87c10345b9d5c8d0bed745bcad4533135/VSCode-linux-x64-stable.zip

Stop marking this out-of-date, read the damn comments people!

dcelasun commented on 2016-03-05 17:55 (UTC)

Please stop flagging this as out-of-date without checking this page: https://code.visualstudio.com/Updates - 0.10.9 is OS-X only and isn't released for Linux - 0.10.10 is not available as an official binary. And no, a tag on Github is not an official binary release.

Nice find. Tomorrow I'll do the %f, categories and notify, but not the mimes, sorry. No other IDE package does that and it shouldn't be necessary here.

Hi dcelasun I've found the solution http://itsfoss.com/add-application-list-open-applications-ubuntu-1310/ it is necessary to add %f at the end of the Exec line into /usr/share/applications/visual-studio-code.desktop Exec=/usr/bin/visual-studio-code %f after that I can see its voice on the application list I suggest you also to add Categories=Development;WebDevelopment;IDE; StartupNotify=true and some MimeType byeeee

Hi some days ago I've installed from aur screamingfrog and I can see it from the application list from Right click -> Open With -> Open With Other Application bye

Hi I know that, but the program is not present in that application list https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/default_applications https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_entries instead I can see other editor softwares after their installation

dcelasun commented on 2016-01-24 17:03 (UTC)

I've checked PKGBUILDs for Intellij IDEA, Komodo Edit and Geany, no package does that. You need to associate programs with files yourself. For example, on XFCE, you would do: Right click -> Open With -> Open With Other Application I'm sure Gnome has an equivalent.

Hi I'm using gnome 3 x86_64 into visual-studio-code.desktop I suggest you to add these values the follow MimeType is just an example StartupNotify=true MimeType=text/html;text/css;text/x-javascript;text/x-python;text/x-perl;application/x-php;text/x-java;text/javascript;text/x-php;application/x-cgi;application/x-javascript;application/x-perl;application/x-python;application/xhtml+xml;text/mathml;text/x-csrc;text/x-chdr;text/x-dtd;text/x-sql;text/xml; Categories=Development;WebDevelopment;IDE; from the application list I can't find vistual studio code so it is not possible to open a file from nautilus using the right click I've tried to edit the files /usr/share/applications/visual-studio-code.desktop .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list but without any changes can you fix it? the editor like konodo-edit has not this problem thanks
