I have Rust installed using WSL2 Ubuntu I have alredy ran basic commands like hello world in rust so cargo is working. I wanted to download the rust-analyzer in VSCODE but I keep getting that error message from the title: rust-analyzer failed to load workspace: "cargo" "--version" failed: program not found
I tried ensuring all paths are correct, all vesions of extension and vscode and rust are up to date. several uninstall re-installs and rustup updates. Toolchain is using stable version. I have reviewed a lot of the other post about this accross all platforms but it seems I can not find the fix. It would be very helpful to get some guidance. Thank you!st
The solution is to open folder as if in WSL.
To do that you need to install this VS code extension called Remote development
Than go to the green symbol in the bottom right corner and then select open WSL folder and open folder with your rust project or just open new WSL window
The last step is to go to extensions and then search for rust-analyzer and hit install
More info regarding the development on WSL can be found here
another good option is open your wsl, move to the project folder and type $ code . or $ code YOUR_PROJECT, then install rust-analyzer extension
Remove the rustc and cargo provide by system package manager (e.g. apt).
Install them from offical rustup script instead.
[note]
I just encounter the same problem when using flatpak version of Lapce.
rust-analyzer failed to load workspace: "cargo" "--version" failed: No such file or directory (os error 2)
Tried to access a remote project (from Linux environment) over vscode remote development environment, followed all the necessary steps mentioned in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview, Able to see the files and folder structure but unable to navigate the source code. Tried "Goto Definition"(F12) and Ctrl+ Click also not working
Tried to set max watch value to fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 still issue remain same
Once I reload the extensions it worked fine. I installed C/C++ IntelliSense from Microsoft and Austin
Despite setting the http.proxy setting, I am unable to download extensions (or browse extensions).
I found that if I start the program with --proxy-server=http://myproxy.example.com:3128 then it works.
The code-server used for remote development doesn't support the --proxy-server flag.
The workaround I have found is to manually download the .vsix extension archive for the extension I want to install. e.g. from here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools there's a "Download Extension" drop down on the right under "Resources" where I can download the extension for the server's platform.
Then, move this archive to the target server. Since I'm using an ssh remote, I just scp it over.
Then, install the extension from the archive:
~/.vscode-server/bin/<id>/bin/code-server --install-extension /path/to/archive.vsix
And this should install the extension. I had to restart the editor a few times before the extension showed as installed in the editor as well.
When starting Visual Studio Code, I get the following Error:
The Path c:*\node_modules\typescript\lib doesn't point to a valid tsserver install. TypeScript language features will be disabled.
I'm not using typescript.
How do I tell vscode I'm not using typescript.
vs code version 1.8.1
That error implies that you have the setting "typescript.tsdk" set to that path. It may be in the workspace settings of the folder you open, in the file at .vscode/settings.json. Or it may be in your user settings (F1 > Open user settings). Remove it, and the error should stop appearing.
How is it possible to export all Visual Studio Code settings and plugins and import them to another machine?
With the current version of Visual Studio Code as of this writing (1.22.1), you can find your settings in:
~/.config/Code/User on Linux
%APPDATA%\Code\User (C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\User) on Windows
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/ on Mac OS X
The files are settings.json and keybindings.json. Simply copy them to the target machine.
Your extensions are in:
~/.vscode/extensions on Linux and Mac OS X
%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions (C:\Users\username\.vscode\extensions) on Windows (i.e., essentially the same place as on Linux and Mac OS X)
Alternately, just go to the Extensions, show installed extensions, and install those on your target installation. For me, copying the extensions worked just fine, but it may be extension-specific, particularly if moving between platforms, depending on what the extension does.
There is an extension for Visual Studio Code, called Settings Sync.
It synchronises your settings by gist (Gist by GitHub). It works the same as the Atom.io extension called settings-sync.
UPDATE:
This feature is now build in VS Code, it is worth to switch to official feature.
(https://stackoverflow.com/a/64035356/2029818)
You can now sync all your settings across devices with VSCode's built-in Settings Sync. It's found under Code > Preferences > Turn on Settings Sync...
Similar to the answer given by Big Rich you can do the following:
$ code --list-extensions | xargs -L 1 echo code --install-extension
This will list out your extensions with the command to install them so you can just copy and paste the entire output into your other machine:
Example:
code --install-extension EditorConfig.EditorConfig
code --install-extension aaron-bond.better-comments
code --install-extension christian-kohler.npm-intellisense
code --install-extension christian-kohler.path-intellisense
code --install-extension CoenraadS.bracket-pair-colorizer
It is taken from the answer given here.
Note: Make sure you have added VS Code to your path beforehand. On mac you can do the following:
Launch Visual Studio Code
Open the Command Palette (⇧ + ⌘ + P) and type 'shell command' to find the
Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH command.
For posterity, this post mentions,
in the latest release of Visual Studio Code (May 2016) it is now possible to list
the installed extension in the command line
code --list-extensions
On Mac, execute something like:
"/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app//Contents/Resources/app/bin/code" --list-extensions
To install, use:
--install-extension <ext> //see 'code --help'
You can now synchronise all your settings across devices with Visual Studio Code's built-in Settings Sync. It's found under menu File → Preferences → Turn on Settings Sync...
Read more about it in the official documentation here.
Your user settings are in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User.
If you're not concerned about synchronising and it's a one-time thing, you can just copy the files keybindings.json and settings.json to the corresponding folder on your new machine.
Your extensions are in the ~/.vscode folder. Most extensions aren't using any native bindings and they should be working properly when copied over.
You can manually reinstall those who do not.
I'm preferred my own way to synchronize all Visual Studio Code extensions between laptops, using .dotfiles and small script to perform updates automatically. This way helps me every time when I want to install all extensions I have without any single mouse activity in Visual Studio Code after installing (via Homebrew).
So I just write each new added extension to .txt file stored at my .dotfiles folder. After that I pull master branch on another laptop to get up-to-date file with all extensions.
Using the script, which Big Rich had written before, with one more change, I can totally synchronise all extensions almost automatically.
Script
cat dart-extensions.txt | xargs -L 1 code --install-extension
And also there is one more way to automate that process. Here you can add a script which looks up a Visual Studio Code extension in realtime and each time when you take a diff between the code --list-extensions command and your .txt file in .dotfiles, you can easily update your file and push it to your remote repository.
I've made a Python script for exporting Visual Studio Code settings into a single ZIP file:
https://gist.github.com/wonderbeyond/661c686b64cb0cabb77a43b49b16b26e
You can upload the ZIP file to external storage.

This is my syncing configuration repo for VSCodium (for Linux only). If you use VSCode, just replace the codium with code and the syncing will be fine.
https://github.com/vanvuvuong/codium_configuration
Enable Portable Mode
Portable Mode instructs Visual Studio Code to store all its configuration and plugins in a specific directory (called data/ in Windows and Linux and code-portable-data in macOS).
At any time you could copy the data directory and copy it on another installation.
VS Code provides 2 options to take care your settings. One is import/Export and other is Sync settings with github profile.
Follow below steps to Export VS code settings
Search for 'Profiles: Export' in the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Select 'what to export' and confirm by clicking on 'OK'
Name you export -
Select Local file which will download file
To import, choose 'Profiles: Import' from Command Palette
Often there are questions about the Java settings in Visual Studio Code. This is a big question and can involve advanced user knowledge to accomplish. But there is simple way to get the existing Java settings from Visual Studio Code and copy these setting for use on another PC. This post is using recent versions of Visual Studio Code and JDK in mid-December 2020.
There are several screen shots (below) that accompany this post which should provide enough information for the visual learners.
First things first, open Visual Studio Code and either open an existing Java folder-file or create a new Java file in Visual Studio Code. Then look at the lower right corner of Visual Studio Code (on the blue command bar). The Visual Studio Code should be displaying an icon showing the version of the Java Standard Edition (Java SE) being used. The version being on this PC today is JavaSE-15. (link 1)
Click on that icon (JAVASE-15) which then opens a new window named "java.configuration.runtimes". There should be two tabs below this name: User and Workspace. Below these tabs is a link named, "Edit in settings.json". Click on that link. (Link 2)
Two json files should then open: Default settings and settings.json. This post only focuses on the "settings.json" file.
The settings.json file shows various settings used for coding different programming languages (Python, R, and Java). Near the bottom of the settings.json file shows the settings this User uses in Visual Studio Code for programming Java.
These Java settings are the settings that can be "backed up" - meaning these settings get copied and pasted to another PC for creating a Java programming environment similar to the Java programming environment on this PC. (Link 3)

For those looking for an export option for Visual Studio (not Code), use Tools menu, select "Export selected environment settings"
