As the title says, VS Code is not recognizing cl compiler although opened via Visual Studio 2022 Developer Command Prompt:
VS Code terminal:
I have tried using VS Code external terminal with %comspec% /k "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"
which did not work.
Setting the comspec manualy in the terminal did solve the issue for the terminal instance:
But the C++ extension is still complaining about cl.exe:
cl.exe build and debug is only usable when VS Code is run from the Developer Command Prompt for VS.
I have never used VS Code for C++ before and I don't use windows for development at all so go easy on me.
What could be the reason for the issue and how it can be solved?
Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt must be elevated(run as Administrator) in order to correctly open VS Code with the needed permissions.
Running Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt as Admin solves the issue.
One solution that worked for me is to go directly in the setting for C++ extension and find compiler path setting, and manually set it to cl.exe path on your computer.

When I open my visual studio code my terminal is blank, neither ubuntu, nor command prompt, nor powershell, nor JavaScript debugger work.
I tried to change the path by which vs code calls my ubuntu but it didn't work.
I have installed visual studio 2019 which works fine for c++ but unable to create folders and sections to store multiple code files. So thought of switching to visual studio code and followed all tutorials available on youtube and documentation. But Visual studio IDE has got nothing showing up when Run Build task is initiated, which is expected to show the c++ extension downloaded. Mingw64 is installed and checked in the terminal too.
no output or terminal opened on Run
compiler installation checked
From the image attached regarding no output in the terminal or terminal opened, it looks like the exe is made because it says 'Build finsihed succesfully'. You'll need to run this executable from the terminal.
For this, if youre in the same directory all you have to do is type the filename. helloworld.exe in the cmd, if its powershell, then ./helloworld.exe. (Also note that for exe files you dont need to explicitly mention .exe at the end of the file name)
The powershell method should work on cmd too.
And if youre not in the same directory as the executable, you can either change directory by typing cd path/to/file and proceed as above, or run directly by typing path/to/file/helloworld.exe. where path/to/file is the directory of your helloworld.exe file
I'm a new user of Visual Studio Code and I came across the following error (see below) when trying to launch a Terminal inside VS Code.
The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" terminated with exit code: 3221225477.
I've tried fixing this by following the instructions on [Visual Studio Code Troubleshoot Terminal] (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/troubleshoot-terminal-launch) and also going through the Get Started documentation on the Visual Studio Code website.
I've also tried copying the error message and pasting on Google to search for a solution but only one relevant site came up here and I still could not find a fix.
I'm using a Dell XPS machine running Windows 10 (x64) and Visual Studio Code 1.51.0 (x64 UserSetup).
Can someone please assist? Thanks in advance!
Try the following:
If your computer is running powershell, turn it off.
Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on of off
Search Window Powershell 2.0 -> Uncheckbox -> OK
Restart
I have just started with löve because of an internet course I'm on, and I'm using Visual studio code as my editor. The course recommends that I use the "Love2D Support" extension with Visual Studio. It allows me to run the code directly from VS by pressing Command + L.
Although when I do it, VS outputs me this error:
The setting specified in pixelbyte.love2d.path must be an executable file, not a directory. Check your settings.
The path I have input in the settings is /Users/My_Username/Desktop/love.app
I am 100% sure that it is the correct directory. What is the problem?
Thanks for answering!
The actual executable file in Mac is /Applications/love.app/Contents/MacOS/love so put this in your pixelbyte.love2d.path command in vscode and you are good to go.
I like to navigate to my working dir via GitBash and upon launching VSCode via
code .
the terminal locks up in the process and I have to launch another GitBash to execute my commands. I am having troubles figuring out why its behaving like this since its happening only on 1 out of 3 machines I'm using. Google is so far no luck.
How can I change this to the default behavior I'm used to? On the other two machines it just launches VSCode in the directory where I am at and prompts to a new line to accept further cli commands.

Finally found the problem, the issue was in the PATH environment variable. It pointed to Code.exe in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code
it is supposed to point to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin
