Can't open VSCode from command-line WSL ZSH - visual-studio-code

So I decided to quit dual-boot and start using WSL. I'm having a problem and really can figure out how to fix it.
I simply can't open VSCode using the code command from the terminal when using an external terminal. When using the integrated, a command like "code ." works just fine.
Anyone knows how to fix it? It was working good a few steps of setup ago, but I lost track and don't exactly when that happened. I'm currently using HyperJS as terminal and my integrated terminal is already running zsh and it works when the VSCode is connected to WSL and when it isn't aswell.
Anyway, hoping for a fix, 'cause I'm really lost.
Thanks!

It's fixed and it was an easy fix, but it took long for me to realize that all I had to do was one step.
Here's the thing: the command "code" on the integrated terminal was working like a charm because the VSCode itself was running as administrator on Windows.
My Hyper wasn't running as administrator, so all I did was:
Right-click on HyperJS icon and go to the properties of the application
Switch to "Compatibility" tab
Check the "Run as administrator"
It's working without a problem now. Took me a while to realize that, but it's all good now.

VS Code Powershell "←]633;P;IsWindows=True"

I am working on a web application using Angular in Vs code.
I ran into some errors while I am fixing them in the process my vscode is bricked after a couple of minutes it return to its normal state but some weird beep sounds raised so i restarted my Laptop.
When I opened VS code again beep sound repeated and my powershell is showing some weird text
So, I thought the error this is due to some misconfigurations in my vscode and I uninstalled VScode ,deleted all related data
After installation the same weird text with beep sounds appeared again
The weird text
←]633;P;IsWindows=True
633;A633;P;Cwd=D:\user\website\quizPS D:\chiru\website\quiz> 633;B
←]633;C```
As #meganrogge said in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/160419 setting terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled to false fixes this
I had in the settings Terminal > Integrated: Windows Enable Conpty (setting ID terminal.integrated.windowsEnableConpty) disabled. After re-enabling it again (which is the default) the problem went away for me.
Do you have scala sbt installed? it does not work well with ms power shell. On Windows it can be used via git bash for example. Go to your user vs code settings and adjust so following terminal integration will be active
"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows":{"Git Bash":{"path":"C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"}, },
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Git Bash",
the close your ms power shell tab in vs code terminal panel and add new bash one.
looks like there is a problem with powershell so i reinstalled my powershell it worked
I solved in this way:
Ctrl + Mayus + P
I faced the same issue. I uninstalled VS Code and installed again and the issue was resolved for me

What is the install terminal and how to remove it from VS Code terminal window?

This started showing up a few months back in my VS Code setup. It wasn't bothering so much, so I kept ignoring it. I am not sure what it's called, but searching around with "install window" or other combinations for VS Code gives some unexpected results. I am using remote-ssh extension for development and believe that it has something to do with a remote extension setting. If I try to close this window, my ssh connection breaks and VS Code opens up another of these to recreate the ssh connection.
I have tried checking and unchecking various remote-ssh extensions but to no avail. Even reinstalling VS Code didn't do any good. I don't see the same behavior on other machines that I have VS Code installed.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me get rid of this terminal. My VS Code is running on macos and ssh server is Ubuntu if this helps.
Remove "remote.SSH.showLoginTerminal": true from your User settings JSON file, then exit VSCode and re-launch the workspace. If that doesn't work set the setting to false instead.

VSCode on Linux Mint, integrated terminal not able to type anything

Hi I'm running Linux Mint 19 and I have just installed vscode using the snapd package manager. I've not used vscode on linux before as my usual editor is emacs. However, on a fresh new install of vscode, the integrated terminal does not work, there is just a non blinking cursor in the top left of the screen, but no prompt and no keyboard strokes are registering. This appears to be a common problem as there are a lot of posts about it if googled, but they are all for Windows versions and none of the solutions that I'm able to try do anything. I've tried to open a new terminal window, but the same thing happens I just get two terminal windows that I now cannot use. I've also tried checking the box that says Code-runner: Run In Terminal, but that does nothing either. What can I do to get this to work please, I looks to me like it is just not connected to either a bash or Zsh(which I normally use). Any help on this would be appreciated.
Instead of starting vscode with its default shell script (usually located on /usr/share/code/bin/code), the integrated terminal only works for me when starting it directly from the compiled binary (typically found on /usr/share/code/code, which is the same as the launcher created by the installer:
/usr/share/code/code --no-sandbox --unity-launch %F
While I searched for a solution in the past I've also noticed that lots of folks solved similar problems just by adding --disable-gpu flag, so might be worth checking out as well.

VS Code Terminal Not Allowing Typing

My VS code terminal was working fine, until one day when I tried to work on a project, that was still open in VS code, my terminal didn't allow me to type any commands. I couldn't type anything. This is the screen that I get.
Okay, for those of you struggling with the same problem, I've managed to solve it by clicking on the drop-down menu that says powershell and changing it to cmd.
this happened to me and simply
close vs code
right click on it
run as administrator
open the terminal and it will work
this problem happened when I changed the default path of CMD
For me, I tried using Powershell/CMD/Bash and I was having errors/blank terminal. I found typing echo hello and pressing CTRL + C made it appear. So in fact, everything was working, my terminal was just blank/glitched out, but was really accepting input.
I had a similar issue when running ionic serve command which runs the development server on the localhost. I paid attention after executing the command above, and it said:
Use Ctrl+C to quit this process
Pressing Ctrl+C then displays:
Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
Type Y or y
then the command prompt is shown again!
Here is a sample terminal window - trimmed for brevity:
For who has this problem using React. This happens when you start a live version using npm start. The terminal that handles the live version of the app cannot be used for anything else.
So to continue using the terminal you need to open a new terminal to use in parallel. To do so just click on the plus icon in the top right corner of the terminal panel then choose the "Power Shell" option. This will open a new terminal without restarting visual studio.
In Mac, when working with Python, this helped me: instead of clicking on the "Run Code" option, click on "Run Python file", in the right corner.
For Ubuntu users this is solved by this solution:
File -> Preferences -> Setting -> Features -> Terminal -> Inherit Env
I found two vscode on my desktop, I opened the other one and it worked. Looks like I updated it but the older one didn't disappear.
If typing Ctrl+C can help to get out of this frozen state, that will be easier to do with VSCode 1.64 (Jan. 2022)
The terminal can type the answer for you.
Terminal -- Auto-reply
The terminal is now able to automatically reply when a specific sequences of characters is received.
A good example of where this is useful, which is also the only default case, is the Windows batch script message Terminate batch job (Y/N)? after hitting Ctrl+C when running a batch script.
This typically just ends up causing problems for the user.
The terminal will now automatically reply with Y and enter (\r) which makes Ctrl+C in Windows feel much better.
Pressing Ctrl+C will immediately reply to the question and return to the prompt:
Theme: Sapphire
The feature was made generically so you can setup custom replies for other thing, just be careful when doing this as you are sending text to the process automatically.
For example you could use it to automatically update Oh My Zsh when prompted:
"terminal.integrated.autoReplies": {
"[Oh My Zsh] Would you like to check for updates? [Y/n]": "Y\r"
}
If you use Clink and enable their similar feature, you can disable it in Clink or in VS Code by setting the reply to null to avoid the two features conflicting with each other:
"terminal.integrated.autoReplies": {
"Terminate batch job (Y/N)": null
}
Go to terminal, preferences, settings.
Check "run code in terminal"
Restart VS.
I changed from bash to powershell in terminal first but the command prompt still not shown.
Then I navigate to File -> Perferences -> Settings and it starts working (command prompt shown)
This seems to just be a display problem. It happened to me when I changed my display settings for desktop icon and app scaling settings.
I managed to fix the problem by simply restarting my computer and re-opening VS code
I had the same problem ... In my case just run vs-code as administrator and works

Unable to launch VSCode

I am running into an issue with Visual Studio code where i could not able to launch it in Windows 8.1. It is working fine untill few days back. Even though it shows two processes named Code 32 bit are running in Task Manager, i cannot see the VSCode UI. I tried going to folder and right click and click on Open with Code, but no luck.
Even after uninstall and installing the VSCode also, i am running into same issue. Does anyone face this issue before?
Is there a way i can clean uninstall VSCode and re install?
Thanks,
Phani
Did you try AppData\Local\Code\bin\code.cmd ?
vscode is running by update.exe
