I need to figure out how to turn off emphasized items in Visual Studio Code
This might sound like a strange requirement, but in my workflow vscode functions as less an IDE than a cross-platform ViM-esque frontend with lots of remote development tools built-in.
Due to this use case, I don't need or want the linting features to show up in the file browser. How might I accomplish this?
Attempts to solve the problem
I've run out of search terms here and cannot find an answer.
Searches including terms in this question's title yielded little
SO-specific search queries also yielded little
This seems to be somewhat related, at least as a representation of the "feature" I'm referencing: VS code containes emphasized items but no error
VSCode "preferences" do not appear to show what I'm looking for, likely an issue with me not searching for the right variable name.
In my experience with VSCode it has been wonderfully customize-able, so I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere ready to be modified to accomplish this. Any help much appreciated, thanks!
My use case was a bit different: after viewing some files in a git submodule those files became linted, and errors and warnings cluttered up my VS Code Explorer file browser window on files I had no intention of ever handling. I basically wanted a way to clear out those lint warnings, and found it here. The solution is to reload the window:
CtrlShiftP on Windows/Linux, ⌘ShiftP on Mac -- then select "Developer: Reload Window"
One by-product of reloading the window is that it clears out those unwanted warnings (at least until the next time I visit the file). It also has the effect of clearing out warnings on files that I would normally want to see, of course, but chances are I'll be visiting those files again soon, so it's fine. Not a perfect solution, but it works for me and my use-case; hopefully it can help others.
I don't know how to turn it off, but I had this on multiple folders and I fixed it by renaming the folder to a random name, then naming it back to the name it was before and the error would go away.
If you have this issuse then uninstall extention then CtrlShiftP on Windows/Linux, ⌘ShiftP on Mac -- then select "Developer: Reload Window" then type developer: relode page this issuse automatically resovle
i have this issuse then i uninstall extension then this issuse resolve.
I was able to permanently prevent this by adding the files to the .gitignore file. It seems that this happens in a cloned repository when you add new files.
I am using Visual Studio Code 1.31.1 in MacOS 10.13.6. I open VSCode, I open a folder of text files, and I press command-option-F, or use Edit -> Find in Files. I search for a string that I know for sure exists in multiple text files in the open folder, and it says it can't find it.
Searching across files works if I have the folder open and have each and every single file open as a tab, which is rather pointless. Is there a way to search across files without actually having them all open as tabs?
I think it was because I opened a folder on Google Drive File Stream. It works fine on local files.
In my case, this was caused by me accidentally toggling the "Search only in Open Editors" option.
Had this same issue, the search functionality was only working for files that were open in the editor. My issue was that VS Code had an update downloaded and ready to update, so I just restarted VS Code, let the update finish and the issue was gone.
It could be that the search is looking into all folders (including node_modules ones), so as it is too big, the search never ends
To fix that, you can list all folders that you want to exclude of the search, to do that, open your vscode settings (ctrl + ,) type "Search: Exclude" in the search box and add your folders. (Btw some are already added by default)
Besides, remember to enable that filter in your search, this is simple, just toggle on the gear button in your search section
If you are still not sure about what to do, take a look in this briefly gif
Had the same issue on Mac, seems like it was related to Google Drive. once I moved the files on my local drive the search worked fine.
Check out your vs code settings. It excludes some folders by default e.g. node modules.
Go to settings, search "Search" , there will be list to exclude folders.
Remove item which might be accidentally got included, which might causing search item in all directory is not working.
I had this problem today. Turns out I had a deprecated setting for advanced RegEx searches "search.usePCRE2": true, Once removed, search started working as expected.
I just had this problem on VS Code 1.58.2 / Mac OS 10.15.7
None of the above solutions worked for me, it still keeps saying 'No results found in open editors' no matter what I do.
But I did get it working by changing the 'Search: Mode' in the settings (for the workspace, or any other scope if needed) from 'view' to 'reuseEditor'.
Yes, this doesn't fix it if you really want the results in the Explorer tab rather than a completely new editor window, but it works.
I had the same issue, i fixed mine by removing files in .gitignore
I had an issue with searching in a project with git submodules and found that the gitlens add-on defaults to ignore searching any submodules:
Setting this to 2 or more may address your problem.
In my case, I had somehow gotten my Explorer set on a subfolder of my project. Closing VS Code and reopening the workspace reset everything and search worked again.
In my case, it was files with no extensions I was not able to find. Once I added those files an extension, I was able to find them via the search feature.
I initially wrote this answer describing a confusing "inverted" behavior of the Search only in Open Editors option/button.
However, after playing around it turns out that what the GUI was showing was not "in sync" with what the search results were returning. Toggling the options a few times appears to have fixed things.
So if your search doesn't appear to be returning any results, I would suggest toggling the Search only in Open Editors and Use Exclude Settings and Ignored Files options.
Otherwise, for information, here is my previous answer:
VS Code has an extremely confusing "inverted" interface when it comes to the option Search only in Open Editors.
There is also another option which affects how search works in a confusing way: Use Exclude Settings and Ignored Files.
The below screenshot shows both:
Note that:
Search only in Open Editors is OFF
Use Exclude Settings and Ignored Files is ON
With these options I get search results back, with them set the other way around - confusingly - I get nothing.
Important to note:
If you turn Use Exclude Settings and Ignored Files OFF, then VS Code seems to stop searching any files, EXCEPT for those which are currently open in tabs. This is very confusing and not the behavior one would expect. The expected behavior would probably be to search the whole opened Folder/Workspace by default.
If you turn Search only in Open Editors OFF, then only open editors will be searched. This is the "inverted" behavior. My current build of VS Code has the indicator "inverted" for this GUI element. When it looks like it is in the "ON" state, it is actually "OFF". When it looks like it is in the "OFF" state, it is actually "ON'.
These two things interact in unexpected ways: (This is the behaviour I observed after toggling both buttons a few times. It is different to what I was seeing a few minutes ago.)
Open Editors (looks like) it is OFF, Use Exclude Settings (looks like) it is ON, search appears to search whole workspace.
Open Editors (looks like) it is OFF, Use Exclude Settings (looks like) it is OFF, search appears to search open tabs only.
Open Editors (looks like) it is ON, Use Exclude Settings (looks like) it is OFF, search appears to search whole workspace.
Open Editors (looks like) it is ON, Use Exclude Settings (looks like) it is ON, search appears to search whole workspace.
I suspect that when typing / editing the search terms, replace option, and files to include/exclude options, VS Code does not check the state of the option buttons before performing the search. This is likely the source of the bug I was seeing earlier.
I'm looking for a linter feature like-atom that shows the problems by either line, file or project.
Is it possible to filter the Problems tab to only show the errors and warnings in the file being visualized or in the files opened in different tabs instead of from the entire project?
VSCode v.1.23 added the ability to filter the Problems panel by files, see problems view filtering in the release notes.
So you can include (or exclude via the usual glob negation !) only a certain file by entering its name (you may need only a part of it). The filtering is done only within opened tabs however. So you cannot get the entire workspace's problems listed when only some of its files are opened.
The ability to filter the problems panel by the current file has been added to the Insider's Build just recently (#mid-November 2019) so should be in the November 2019 update.. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/30038 and https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_41.md#problems-panel
More predefined filters are added to the Problems panel. You can now
filter problems by type and also see problems scoped to the current
active file.
The feature you describe is not currently in VSCode, (I miss it too having got used to it in Eclipse)
There is an open issue with VSCode for this:
Show problems only for currently active file / active line #30038
The title pretty much says it all, but to make things worse, new files aren't tracked as well. I figured that this is likely a rare exception, but it would be good to know what is causing the issue - in case a large project gets bugged by it. This question might help anyone who gets in this mess, so please post your suggestions.
Here is a screenshot of the situation: http://i.stack.imgur.com/iMn3O.png
Here is the screenshot I posted of the Settings... > Version Control > Ignored Files page: http://i.imgur.com/XwByblX.png It shows what is wrong on the 3rd line.
If you still can't index:
It might be because after removing the ignoring of your files, that the VCS hasn't been brought up to speed of the fact. Go to VCS > Show Changes View and then hit CTRL+F5 or click the Refresh Icon. Now you have Unversioned Files and you're ready to add files to the index.
I have solved the issue with a roundabout way. What I did was: I didn't include the .classpath file that Eclipse creates. IntellIJ asked if I wanted to open .project, I canceled that and just opened the project regularly, that solved it for me. It might have quietly induced the ignore entry from the screenshot.
The file is ignored. You have added your entire project directory to "Ignored files" in Settings | Version Control | Ignored Files, which leads to IntelliJ IDEA not showing any files as unversioned, and not allowing you to add them to Git.
You need to remove the project directory from the Ignored Files list.
When i press Ctrl+Shift+R to open the Open Resource Dialog box, the filter box does not show most of the other resource files for example.. jsp, xml etc. it works fine with all the java files.. This is happening for only this particular java project. i have refreshed the project multiple times but still no-go. I have also rebuilt the index for eclipse under workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core by deleting the index files but to no avail.
I am using eclipse Kepler version. Any help would be great..
Thanks All. Yes i had closed and opened the project many times. I have also not set any Resource filter exclusions. What i noticed was that opening any of these files for edit would set off an alert saying file was derived and would i like to edit? But on the properties for these file they were not ticked as derived but rather as Archived. So had to manually hunt for the parent folder which was making these files as derived. Also noticed that the Open Resource Dialog box has option for including Resource files "Show Derived Resources"...
This one helped me solve the problem
Eclipse treating all the files in a project as Derived
This is going to sound ridiculous...but maybe this'll help others too: make sure your file search string is correct! You may need to begin it with a wildcard (*).
I lost about 45 minutes on this as the result of user error.
I was looking for some local files named eRCaGuy_PPM_Writer.h and eRCaGuy_PPM_Writer.cpp (from my repo here). So, I pressed Ctrl + Shift + R and searched for ppm_writer, as shown here:
Nothing! It would not find those files! No matter what I did to the files it couldn't seem to find them. I tried all sorts of things. Then, I realized Eclipse doesn't have a fancy fuzzy search like Sublime Text 3, so I simply added an asterisk (*) to the front of the search, and voila! It works perfectly. Since the "PPM_Writer" part of those two file names is NOT at the beginning, I must start the search with a wildcard (*).
Now it works fine, as you can see here:
I've just added a note about this to my personal Eclipse setup and configuration instructions here: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_dotfiles/tree/master/eclipse (for my full documentation, see also the PDF and Google Drive links at the top of that page).
