Can't update ThemeKit, "Access is denied" - command-line

So I've been using ThemeKit to build a Shopify theme and I've been getting a notification in the command-line window that ThemeKit has an upgrade available. It says to use theme update as the command to run to get this done but when I do I get this error message, Could not update and had to roll back. open C:\Program Files\Theme Kit\.theme.exe.new: Access is denied. Anyone else have this issue? I'm working on Windows 10 if that helps...

Thanks, #drip, for the solution, which was to open up the command prompt as administrator and then running theme update. Worked like a charm!

If you are using WSL, it would be sudo theme update, then put your WSL password and it's done.

Error loading webview: Error: Could not register service workers: TypeError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker for scope

When I update my VSCode to v1.56.2 and open webview, I get these messages:
Error loading webview: Error: Could not register service workers:
TypeError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker for scope
('vscode-webview://867f875b-c5a3-4504-8de2-2e8614bdc0f8/') with script
('vscode-webview://867f875b-c5a3-4504-8de2-2e8614bdc0f8/service-worker.js?platform=electron&id=867f875b-c5a3-4504-8de2-2e8614bdc0f8&vscode-resource-origin=https%3A%2F%2F867f875b-c5a3-4504-8de2-2e8614bdc0f8.vscode-webview-test.com'):
ServiceWorker cannot be started.
How can I solve this issue?
If you are using Ubuntu, there is probably another (maybe hidden) vscode process, which is causing the problem.
Close the vs code first and in terminal try: killall code.
In Windows, you can simply fix this error by clearing the cache for VSCode. Please follow the steps below:
Close VSCode and also kill any background processes running in the task manager.
Go to the file explorer and to the path C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Code and clear the contents of the folders Cache, CachedData, CachedExtensions, CachedExtensionVSIXs (if this folder exists) and Code Cache.
Open VSCode and you are good to go.
I encountered this issue and am not a Windows user, so this is my resolution:
I found that there was an instance of VS Code open that was erroneously not shown on my dock. I closed this instance and opened a new instance. The problem was gone.
I think the issue happened because I had a VS Code instance open, allowed a software update to run in the background, postponed the restart, opened a new and updated VS Code instance, and the old instance remained open causing conflicts.
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
#tritemio on GitHub has a great answer:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/125993#issuecomment-912439561
in short, delete cache folder:
rm -rf ~/.config/Code/Cache
This is a known bug in VS Code 1.56. It happens for some Windows users when running VS Code as an administrator
As a workaround, you can try launching VS Code with the --no-sandbox command line flag:
$ code --no-sandbox
#tritemio, thanks for sharing.
This also seemed to solve my issues on Windows for "Extensions - Details View", "VS Code Release Notes View", "Gitlab integrated Interactive Rebase Editor", etc.
I followed your suggestion and deleted the following folders;
%appdata%\Code - Insiders\Cache
%appdata%\Code - Insiders\Code Cache
On *nix systems, first close VS Code app then run pgrep -f '/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app' | xargs kill to clean up vscode's processes. Reopen vscode and the issue will be gone.
If on macOS, you can run the above command verbatim. If you're not on macOS or installed vscode on a different location, you need to change the argument passed to pgrep. You can run ps auxww | command grep -i --color code to find the path of vscode's running processes.
Happened to me when started code in windows cmd. Closed vs code and opened it from my taskbar shortcut instead, and the error was gone
The simplest solution for this problem in any version of Linux is simply to close other instances of VS code and use only one instance of VS code.
OS: Linux 20.04.3 LTS
I've also encountered the same "Error loading web view" Error.
I've solved this issue by moving "vscode.app" into "Application folder" instead of "Download folder" on macOS.
I'll describe my "symptom" here.
OS: macOS 12.0.1
Installed 2 versions of vscode somehow, 1 under "Application folder", another under "download folder"
Run both vscode at the same time, the "download folder" version has no error display plugin pages, the "Application folder" version has the "Error loading webview" error
Checked and see 2 vscode instances running in the background
What I tried to solve this issue:
Tried to kill "download folder" instance, and the error remains for "application folder" instance
Moved "download folder" to "application folder" and both vscode works correctly on plugin page!
What I suspect on what the problem is?
Maybe these 2 vscode are sharing the same resource(could be some shared file), however they have different permissions since one is under application folder and another is under download folder.
This answer applies if using VSCode in GitHub Codespaces in Firefox or Brave browsers. I had to disable "Enhanced Tracking Protection" for the site, and that is all. To do so, click on the shield icon which is to the left of the displayed web address.
If anyone is using Brave, please turn off the brave shields as well.
For Mac/Apple computer Monteray version the following steps worked for me:
Delete VSCode from downloads folder.
Turn off VSCode
Open Activity Monitor and delete VSCode "Code" process.
Try closing all the process cmd+qof vscode and reopen vscode and everything should work well.
I have just restarted VS code and it worked for me. OS was Windows 10.

Unable to uninstall vscode from my computer

the app does not show up in the control panel and I've gone through %appdata% deleted any file that says anything about vscode and I have tried launching the installer again hoping that it would give me a option to uninstall it but instead it just downloads it again without realizing I already have it downloaded. If anyone knows what to do or just a idea on what to do that would be great.
Do you have admin rights to install the visual studio code.Try for run as administrator.
Also facing any issues as below.

Visual Studio Code - PHPCS error (Unknown error ocurred. Please verify that returns a valid json object)

I am trying to set up the PHPCS plugin, but so far I am only getting this error:
phpcs: Unknown error ocurred. Please verify that /home/[user]/Documents/offprojects/vet_direct/vetsdirectapp/vendor/bin/phpcs --report=json -q --encoding=UTF-8 --error-severity=5 --warning-severity=5 --stdin-path=/home/[user]/Documents/offprojects/vet_direct/vetsdirectapp/app/Http/Controllers/JobController.php - returns a valid json object.
I followed the installation guide from the plugin page and installed PHPCS both globally and in the project. Also, the command in terminal shows this error:
zsh: command not found: phpcs
Any idea what is wrong here?
This might not help you, but for me, the executable path wasn't correct and the version of PHPCS didn't support PHP 7, it was still using PHP 5.
I'm going to assume you're on Linux based OS.
Since you have already installed PHPCS globally, access the phpcs file. This should be somewhere like ~/.config/composer/vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/bin if you're on Debian based Linux OS (like Ubuntu Focal Fossa 20.04LTS). But it might differ depending on versions.
If you use a text editor to peek the phpcs file inside it (this will be the same on your Executable Path), it might say PHP 5, that's how I found I needed to upgrade mine.
To upgrade your PHPCS do composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*" this might fix your issue. After that, you might need to fix your Executable Path again, I had to do mine.
To edit the executable path on Visual Studio Code Command + , (or go to settings) then search for PHP CodeSniffer. Go down to Executable Path and make sure it's correct.
This might not work, but it's worth a try.
After trying a lof of different things, this is what worked for me. I'm on a Mac and using Zsh.
First, installed PHP Code Sniffer (phpcs) with Composer, as Hugo suggested on the answer above:
composer global require "squizlabs/php_codesniffer=*"
But then, I had to edit my .zshrc and added this line:
export PATH=/Users/YOURUSER/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
After that, close the Terminal and I was able to run phpcs -h
In my case an error was being thrown by various processes "Could not load xdebug because it is already loaded". This did not show in VSCode, but did if I ran php -v or php --ini.
This is what cleared the error for me:
Edit the /etc/php/8.0/apache2/conf.d/xdebug.ini file and comment out the line zend_extension=xdebug.so. Restart apache with sudo systemctl restart apache2, then try php -v. The "Could not load xdebug because it is already loaded" error should be gone. Restart VSCode and this phpcs error should stop showing.
I have VSCode configured to debug php and have the xdebug configuration settings in both the etc/php/php8.0/apache2/php.ini and etc/php/php/8.0/cli/php.ini files.
How I discovered this is I downloaded the source code and searched for where that error was being thrown. What I found was that ANY error in stderr outside of a very narrow range gets this error message. I had noticed this error showing in my terminal, and I researched how to clear it. When I did, the VSCode phpcs error went away!
On Windows:
Open the XAMPP Control Panel.
Apache -> Config -> php.ini
Search for zend_extension=xdebug.so or something the like and delete it.
Restart Apache.
Try again.
In my case, It was happening due to XDebug and resolved after disabling xdebug from Xampp.
Goto C:\xampp\php\php.ini
find and disable (add ;) before following lines
Change :
xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.start_with_request=yes
zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
to :
;xdebug.mode=debug
;xdebug.start_with_request=yes
;zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
Restart Apache and then vscode. It should fix that.

Using submit50 in VSCode

I'm doing CS50 AI ( a course from harvard on EdX) and as a result been using submit50 (the command we use to submit assignments) in VSCode via the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Until I updated my IDE to the April update, submit50 used to ask my GitHub username and password in the the terminal itself similar to CS50 IDE.
After the April Update, it redirected me to the GitHub website for authentication and ever since then, I've been getting an error and can't figure out how to fix this.
I've tried re-install VSCode and submit50, upgrading submit50 and none of this has helped.
The Error I'm getting
I deleted VSCode and Code from Appdata to try and delete all data but that did not help.
Git Asking for permission
Any help would be appreciated!
This is due to the new automatic GitHub authentication introduced in VSCode version 1.45.
The temporary fix for this is to disable Git: GitHub Authentication in your VSCode settings either via the settings UI, or by adding the following line to your settings.json:
"git.githubAuthentication": false,
When you try to run submit50 again, a popup prompt for your username and password will appear instead!
Alternatively, you can disable Git: Terminal Authentication in your VSCode settings either via the settings UI, or by adding the following line to your settings.json:
"git.terminalAuthentication": false,
Via this method, you'll get the login prompt for submit50 inside the terminal as per usual.

vscode is not lauching for me on windows 7

I downloaded the latest ZIP file of VSCode for windows from VSCode website.
Unzipped it and tried running the Code.exe from it. It does nothing no crashing message juts output nothing.
I tried running Code.exe from command prompt [after CD to the directory where I have unzipped it], nothing happens, no out put.
Then I did some googling to do more troubleshooting and found out I need to run Code.exe or bin\code.cmd with --help and --verbose command.
No output on command line.
I am totally confused and don't know how do I make VScode work on my windows 7 machine or how do I troubleshoot why its not working.
I have appropriate .Net Framework installed [the one suggested by the VSCode website].
I have also tried installer , with all above debugging steps , same outcome as above.
I checked the code.exe in task manager to see if its running in background, nothing in there too.
What do I do ?
Check if the process is running in Task Manager.
Check for "code.exe". If it is running, then end all instances, and try again.
Otherwise, try opening event log, in Application or System. Look for errors or warnings which may have been logged and give some insight into why Code didn't open.
So guys seems like new version of VSCode has this problem.
Try downloading an older version of VSCode and do not upgrade it once its installed.
After I installed : V 1.18.1 , its working fine.
