Pretty much what it says on the tin.
I'm trying to download or otherwise add the Azure Functions extention for VS Code, and for some reason, I just can't. Has anyone else had this problem?
I've tried:
Searching for it in the extensions marketplace - it's like it doesn't exist
Trying to download it from the webpage version of the extensions marketplace - The install now link behaves like a dead link, and if I copy it to open in a new tab, it briefly throws an "Open in VS Code?" message, but then nothing happens.
Downloading it from the .vix file - VScode tells me that it's an unsupported action using the code template copied from microsofts own website.
Restarting the computer and trying all of these again. No joy. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm supposed to be writing a function app, and i'm slightly at my wits end because I can't advance without this particular little module.
Running VS code 2019 professional edition, all up to date, on a brand new lenovo thinkpad running windows 11 enterprise, also all up to date.
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

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.
I have a Windows 10 with the latest patches and downloaded the VisualStudio Code setup from the official page but when I double click the .exe nothing happens, it does open a dialog and no error is displayed, just nothing happens, I tried running it as admin, restarting the machine multiple times, always the same result.
It just happens with this specific .exe, I tried with several other installations and it works fine.
Is there a way to see what could be blocking the installation?
Use Chocolatey to install visual studio code if you can't install it by clicking the exe file. See the folowing link:
chocolatey.org/packages/vscode
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.
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/45889
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/92461
I'm running this on Windows 7 SP1 with most (if not all) current patches. I have administrative permissions on this machine.
The first time I ran VSCodeSetup.exe, it ran the installer for several minutes then launched the actual application.
I got called into a surprise meeting, so I closed it thinking I'd look at it again later.
However, when I returned to my computer and tried to launch it, I found no evidence that it was actually installed... no desktop icon, no entry in the start menu, no Explorer integration...
I tried running VSCodeSetup.exe again, but all it does it show the installer screen for a split second, which then vanishes.
Since then, I've tried the suggestions outlined in VSCode Installation Failed - Failed to extract installer to install the application, even going so far as to run Update.exe --uninstall followed by running VSCodeSetup.exe again, but nothing has worked.
I even tried disabling my antivirus software and running the installer again, to no avail.
Does anyone know what I can do to get VSCode working again?
According to the comments and answers to Install VSCode in a specific folder, Visual Studio Code installs itself to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Code on Windows.
While I'm not sure why it didn't register itself with Explorer, I can at least create a shortcut to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Code\bin\code.cmd (with icon %LOCALAPPDATA%\Code\app.ico) to get it working again.
Or remove the directory entirely and run VSCodeSetup.exe to install it again, which still doesn't add Explorer integration... but this time at least the PATH now has code in it.
On windows VSCode is installed as Code.exe and its located in your
C:\Users\<windows-user>\AppData\Local\Code\app-<version-number>\Code.exe
or
C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Code\app-0.5.0\Code.exe
