How do I set up JDK in VS Code? - visual-studio-code

I've tried setting up VS Code so many times. But it just does not point to the right shady path. I think I messed up something in one of the previous installations.
So now every time I just try to run a Java program, this is the error that pops up.
Is there any way I can fix this by making some changes in the settings?
I've also installed the extension which is a complete package for Java development in VS Code.

This helped me :
You can try following this.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/java/java-tutorial
Also, try going to settings in VSCode. Search for jdk, it opens up a settings.json file. Now try this.
And sheck this :
Changing the java.home path in VS code

VS code doesn't detect UnityEngine.UI library - Unity

The issue is VS code doesn't see UnityEngine.UI library.
I had this issue before and I solved like it this:
I changed the code editor in preferences to Visual Studio, regenerated files and launched c# project. On the start, vs created needed .csproj files and then I closed vs and changed it back to vs code and it workeed.
However, now I am working on another project and I encountered same issue, I tried the method I described above but it didn't work.
Any ideas?
So, after days of tinkering and trying different solutions I found on the internet I finally found out how to solve it (all by myself).
Switch to VS and make sure it detects the UnityEngine.UI library. Then don't close VS, switch to VS Code, don't hit "regenerate files", launch c# project, enjoy!
These steps covered several possible issues:

Why do no programs run in visual studio code?

I recently got a new computer and reinstalled visual studio code but I haven't been able to run any of my files. The error has occurred with both python and C++, so I feel as though it is the IDE that is the problem. I have looked online and there are no straight answers as I have tried following some solutions which have resulted in different errors.
The error above comes up when I run (F5) a simple line of code in c++. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks, Jacob
[EDIT]
For my python files to work I have to manually select 'Python: current file' but for c++ files they still have the same error.
First step, uninstall python from this machine.
Second, reinstall and make sure that you check the box "add to path".
It's pretty easy to miss as it's a small box, and I missed it my first time installing python earlier in the year. Here's the box you may have missed while installing.
It could be your extensions.
I had a similar error message and simply updated all of my extensions and then my SDK. I was then able to run my code within the IDE. I was using VSCode for c++ and also updated my GCC compiler along with the extensions.
Also look into your computer's environment variables, if you have changed the %PATH variables it may be affecting your ability to run/compile programs.

VS code, julia linter doesn't work (on mac)

having assured myself that julia is enabled and that the linter is too (in vs code settings: Julia › Lint: Run), i get syntax highlighting on my xxx.jl script but no linting at all.
im on the latest vs code + latest julia 1.07 extension + latest macosx.
i did a clean installation of vs code, wiping all old related folders prior to installation (https://stackoverflow.com/a/53839847/11608725)
so julia is the only extension/package installed, no conflicts should be present.
what am i missing?
thanks!
edit/update:
i also found that i can NOT run an open script (via the leftmost button)
a pop-up says
and clicking on open launch.json gives
from which point on im pretty much stuck. googling around, a couple of very similar issues appeared (eg. https://stackoverflow.com/a/61284896/11608725, https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/94725#issuecomment-612062020), but which should presumably have been fixed with vs code 1.44 and i am on 1.49.
perhaps the no-linting is related to this?
Have you tried Julia Formatter 0.3.0 for vs code? This has always worked for me.
similar message "Please first open a folder in order to .." pretty annoyingly appeared, my end, on a different platform [Win] [Visual Studio Code version: 1.56.2], too
meaning : it's likely the workflow/settings logic specific to VS Code, not an os/platform issue as such
all problems solved, my end, simply by
after launching VS Code
via "File" > "Open Folder..." : just do first -- before doing anything else in VS Code and/or with code-files -- open the current/working project folder [ie. the very folder with a ".code-workspace"-file in it for the given project (source file dir) ]

Visual Studio Code freezing up my computer

So I have been using VS Code for a while now, and as of recently when I start up the program, within a couple minutes, my entire computer freezes. I have attempted re-installing it. I have made sure im on the latest update, and I have not recently installed any extensions in the days leading up to this issue.
It is consistently freezing though. Even after restarting my computer and re-installing the application. I have no clue what could be causing this but I really do enjoy VS Code and would like to not have to swap to something else.
Any help is of course greatly apprecaited. Thanks!
I got the same issue in my Ubuntu 16.04.
I did switch off git.autorefresh in the Settings, then it works flawlessly and smoothly
If the problem keeps occurring, I guess an extension is causing the issue (must be).
Try to remove the extensions one by one or disable it in settings then test again. I got the same issue and its fixed after removing the git blame extension.
I had the same problem and adding these settings to Visual Studio Code the PC freezing doesn't happen anymore:
Open VS Code settings (press F1 -> "Preferences: Open Settings
(JSON)";
Add these json properties at the end of your settings
"search.searchOnType": true,
"search.followSymlinks": false,
"search.collapseResults": "auto",
"search.maxResults": 2000,
Save settings.
It freezes a lot too
if you check task manager without vs code it should okay but after you open vs code and try it its the disk has like 100% or something that's why it's freezing

VSCode latex-workshop command not found

I just cannot find any actions to work of the latex-workshop extension in VS Code, though it worked well yesterday.
When I tried to find the actions (using Ctrl+Shift+P), it shows a choice of LaTex Workshop: All Actions. However, after click on it, an error occurs as command 'latex-workshop.actions' not found, and nothing happens. And I can't use any command by shortcut keys.
I tried to reload and reinstall the extension, but they don't help.
Does anyone know what's happening here?
I had the same problem, and followed some suggestion in this GitHub issue.
Simply reinstalling the plugin won't work, but I fixed like this:
Uninstall extension
Close VS Code (Make sure all processes are shut down, maybe restart your machine)
Open Code and reinstall the extension
For me, what solved the problem (August 2021) was to revert to an earlier version - the problem was in 8.20.2, I reverted to 8.19.2. Just click on the extension to show its menu screen and hit the drop-down arrow of the "Uninstall" button.
I solved the issue by uninstalling the extension and deleting the folder
/.vscode-oss/extensions/james-yu.latex-workshop-8.14.0/
