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Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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

@dcelasun the latest PKGBUILD throws an error due to the missing license file mentioned by @ventieldopje: install: cannot stat ‘/tmp/yaourt-tmp-user/aur-visual-studio-code/src/VSCode-linux-x64/license.txt’: No such file or directory

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-09-11 16:53 (UTC)

Updating the PKGBUILD is as simple as bumping the version to 0.8.0 and commenting the line that copies the license file. It might be a mistake but this version doesn't ship with a license.txt :/

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-09-11 16:43 (UTC)

Version 0.8 is out! :)

marcs commented on 2015-08-13 08:07 (UTC)

Thank for this package! Version 0.7 is out.

dcelasun commented on 2015-07-30 13:37 (UTC)

Nice catch! Fixed.

There is a typo on the PKGBUILD line 16. source_i1686=(https://az764295.vo.msecnd.net/public/${pkgver}/VSCode-linux-ia32.zip It should be source_i686=(https://az764295.vo.msecnd.net/public/${pkgver}/VSCode-linux-ia32.zip

hey! You could use the named src file syntax (see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#Sources) to avoid having a source archive in the PKGBUILD dir that is always outdated, when the PKGBUILD is updated. --- source_x86_64=("VSCode-linux-x64_${pkgver}.zip::https://az764295.vo.msecnd.net/public/${pkgver}/VSCode-linux-x64.zip" [...] ---

I already made a pkgbuild for myself, but thanks!:D

dcelasun commented on 2015-07-14 09:14 (UTC)

@zota: You are the first person to ask for it :) I've updated the PKGBUILD, but I don't have a 32bit machine to test it on. Let me know if it works!

enkeyz commented on 2015-07-14 09:00 (UTC)

Hello guys! Where is the 32bit version?
