vscode path file auto-complete has stopped working - autocomplete

I am using VScode (version 1.20, windows 10). Path file Auto-complete has stopped working around the time I upgraded from 1.19 to 1.20. When I enter "ctrl+space", I just get what seems to be a random list of words. Here is a screenshot of what I get:
I add a look at this github issue. But the solution proposed (user settings editor.quickSuggestions) did not work in my case. Is this a bug in the 1.20 version? I downgraded to 1.19. Still the problem remains.
If any one could give me a hint, or a solution, how would be very thankful.

Hi this drove me crazy until I realised I didn't have the project folder open in explorer, only the file. That should be all you need.

The neovim plugin for tpope/vim-surround isn't working in VSCode

I'm looking for thoughts on how I've configured this differently this time.
I have been using this plug in previous versions.
I have the init.vim correctly configured (the plugin works with nvim) from the console.
I'm using the dein plugin manager.
I know the init.vim is being loaded from vscode.
I'm just not getting the surround functionality in vscode.
What's even stranger is it's working on my old laptop just fine, AFAIK I've copied all the settings.
The only difference is the the version of NeoVim installed, but as I mentioned - the plugin works from the console.
Leave the path to the init.vim blank. Still not sure why this works on the old laptop with this value ...

vscode with neovim doesn't save file on :w command

I'm using Ubuntu Xenial (yes I know it's out of date, I'm going to upgrade it soon), neovim 0.6.0 (which apt tells me is the latest version), and vscode 1.60.1. Until recently could save files with the :w command, but all of a sudden when I use that command nothing happens. It probably happened when my version of vscode was updated, but I'm not sure. Is there a setting somewhere that controls this, or could something have overridden it? Googling it shows fairly old results, and since it was working a few weeks ago I'm not sure how helpful those ones are.
Ctrl + s works but I'm so used to using :w that I do it automatically and it takes me time to remember to do it the other way. Also, since :w works in all other vims that I use, I'd like to get vscode working the same way again.
I was running into this problem too and I found that the solution is to use neovim stable, not the prerelease 0.6.x version. Now all the editor commands work fine.
I found this solution via this GitHub issues link: https://github.com/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim/issues/736

vs code not opening up in windows

whenever i try to open my vs code editor, nothing happens it doesn't launch and even there are no errors..!! And i am confused what's wrong here in my vs code. Please anyone help me fix it..!!
Below are the verbose command i typed in the terminal..
C:\Users\Avinash>code . --verbose
[main 2020-05-10T05:17:56.317Z] Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, mkdir
[main 2020-05-10T05:17:56.318Z] Lifecycle#kill()
[main 2020-05-10T05:17:56.320Z] [File Watcher (node.js)] Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, stat 'c:\Users\Avinash Maurya\AppData\Roaming\Code\User'
no need of Unistalling, just go to your vscode-setup and reinstall it. (by this procedure all of your's settings, files , extensions etc.. will be restored as it is.)
I also came across the same issue.
Uninstalling and Reinstalling it again worked out and all my extensions were there already(that was strange).
You may want to try "Run as Administrator".
try code --no-sandbox in kali linux
try this it worked for me!
got to the Microsoft store
install vs code form there
then an error massage will appear
now try to open your vs code and wait ...
You can try by searching vs code and if it opens you can right click it, create the shortcut and use it instead of the old shortcut. This worked for me so please try it.
Here is the best solution:
No need to uninstall or do anything.
I was also facing the same issue. Go to task manager. You'll see that visual studio code is running. Select it and press end task. Now you can open vscode normally. It's fixed!
Somehow I had two vs code installs on my computer (one user and one system) and they appeared to be conflicting. I uninstalled user and everything worked. I suggest uninstalling all versions and reinstalling using the system installer executable.
Just reinstall the vs code from previously downloaded setup, everything including extensions get restored. enjoy coding
I Have Got the Same Problem as you just open the folder where you have downloaded VS Code. Like in My case its in Drive C and open from icon in that folder.
you can fix this issue by selecting run this program as administrator under compatibility tab.
If you are on win10, kill all vscode processes, delete folder 'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Code', and launch vscode again.
if anyone is still wondering abt it, Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 in January, 2020 and no longer provides security updates. VS Code desktop versions starting with 1.71 (August 2022) will no longer run on Windows 7 and you will need to upgrade to a newer Windows version to use later versions of VS Code.
Thus, if you want to keep windows 7 version, you have to download an older version than 1.71 of VS Code , for example, 1.69 version (https://www.filepuma.com/download/visual_studio_code_64bit_1.69.1-32681/) and uncheck all the auto updates from the settings.
whenever you want to add any extension, you just have to choose the older version of it.
If you cannot open the vs code editor on windows 7, then you need to download the latest version 1.70.2 from July 2022, which is supported by windows 7. Here is a link as an example: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.70.2/win32-x64/stable

VScode deleting itself

I have a problem where my VSCode keeps deleting itself after I do anything on it. e.g. when I code in Latex or just using it as a text editor, the entire code.exe itself keeps deleting itself. I have been downloading the latest version from the website itself but it still does the same thing with deleting itself.
PS. When I say deleting itself, I meant the entire VSCode uninstalls itself.
Thanks.
There are several steps to kinda fix this:
First run troubleshooter.
https://i.stack.imgur.com/jRdXI.png
If the problem continues, uninstall using unins000.exe in the folder where you installed vscode, and reinstall it.
If you use insiders build, kindle use the standard or non-insiders version.
If the problem still continues, check for updates in your pc and make sure you have updated your pc to the latest.
It should work after this, if not kindle contact the vscode support through get help app or your pc's manufacturer's support team.
Hope this helps in your wonderful coding journey!!

VSCode - TypeScript language service died unexpectedly 5 times in the last 5 minutes

This error message keeps sliding down from the top every few seconds. I click on the close button and it comes back again. I am not and don't plan on using TypeScript in any of my projects.
Is there a way to "silent" this warning message?
Is there a way to change the frequency that the warnings slide down on the screen?
This is happening in VSCode 1.8.1 and 1.9 on Windows 10 and Windows 8.
I work on TypeScript for VSCode.
The TypeScript language service powers language features for both TypeScript and JavaScript code. Without it, you do not get any suggestions or intellisense or any other nice language support.
Please open an issue against VSCode if you are seeing this error. You can also try upgrading the version of TypeScript that VS Code uses to pick up the latest fixes and features: https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/languages/typescript#_using-newer-typescript-versions
(I'm also looking into a better way to handle this message since it can be very spammy when the TypeScript service crashes continually)
I resolve my problem by use this way:
first, open your typescript.tsserver.log to "verbose"
restart vscode, and open ts log
and you will find when make your tsserver so slow, as for me, jest_cache is the problem. so I add a exclude in my tsconfig.json
restart, and the problem solve.
I the same problem with VSCode using a workspace Yarn and Typescript. After a couple months without a solution, I tried updating the Yarn VSCode SDK using yarn dlx #yarnpkg/sdks vscode as part of these instructions and that fixed my problem.
you can try to install this vscode extension to make vscode use latest typescript version
To people getting here using WSL2 & Ubuntu(?)
rm -rf ./vscode-server worked for me
Disabling the "JavaScript and TypeScript Nightly" extension worked for me.
The error always said that the workspace was using an old verison of typescript and that I should upgrade although I was up to date. It looks the workspace was using the latest dev build of typescript because of the extension or something like that maybe caused the error.
For a temprary solution you need to rollback to an older version. In my case it worked with: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_39.
upgrading to TypeScript v3.7.3 and using VSCode Insider's Edition seems to fix the issue for me.
There are multiple ways to upgrade. One way is:
yarn add -D typescript#3.7.3
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/84618#issuecomment-562290275
Here is my solution which I spent 1 week.
Fallback version to Version: 1.61.2 (Universal)
Rmove your local VsCode totaly.
quit it
remove it from your Application folder
remove the file ~/.vscode
rm -rf ~/.vscode
Install the vsCode v1.61.2 and open it;
Close the aoto update. it's important
find the menu Code > preferences > settings
search keyword of update
set Application/Update/update > mode > none
Open your ts project
Hope help you
took me a few confusing days, as it kept trying to default to 16.8 which I had not installed via nvm
I installed and un-installed 16.8, set the default and system aliases (always alias to a version number without any letters ['v']
Finally I found a posting that said, no matter what you have installed for nvm MacOS will always use the system Node if there is one.
So: brew uninstall node got rid of a version that I didn't was on my mac... I've been using nvm for many years, so I don't know how it got there. Perhaps it came in as a dependency...
Since I use nvm, and always want the typescript support I pinned it to a particular version of node that I know has typescript installed globally
tsdk: /Users/ajoslin/.nvm/versions/node/v16.14.0/lib/node_modules/typescript/lib/
In my case, I didn't have the typescript compiler (tsc) installed on my system. So npm install -g typescript resolve my problem.
