I am trying to use models from Hugging Face, but VS code always downloads them into my very limited C: drive; C:\Users\<user>\.cache.
How can I force it to cache to a different drive?
Things I've tried:
Googling: only seen threads for Linux, whose commands do not transfer over. Could not find clear equivalent commands for Windows.
Running a new instance from terminal code --user-data-dir E:/.cache
Fully un-installing VS Code, downloading a portable version, and making a data folder (following these instructions)
All of them still result in caching to C:\Users\<user>\.cache.
From some further research, it appears this is currently not possible.
However, I've found that symlinks is a great temporary workaround. In short,
Create a folder on a drive/partition with an abundance of space, i.e. E:\TempCache
Close any instances of VS Code, if any.
Navigate to C:\Users\<username>\.cache. If there's anything in it, cut them over to E:\TempCache, and delete the whole .cache folder.
Open cmd with admin rights, and enter mklink /J "C:\Users\<name>\.cache" "E:\TempCache". This will re-create an empty .cache folder.
Next time VS Code is ran, it will automatically detect and use the .cache folder on the C drive like nothing changed.
I had my project in VS Code's installation directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code) because I don't like that any files related to a program placed all over the PC. Then I decided to update VSCode. After the update the folder where my project was, has gone. Are there any ways to restore it? Atleast some of the files? I'm using Windows 7 and don't have any Git accounts.
Windows build-in restoration tool gives me 1 week old folder of my project. I did alot since then. Sometimes you shouldn't work too hard.
I think your best bet is to look if there is any backup of your windows 7 computer to recover your file.
Looks like i got the same problem, when VS Code updates it updates also its installation directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code, which means any file you create in the installation directory gets deleted, so that's why the Project folder got deleted. It is best to keep your project folders and files in your system for example C:\Projects.. Alternatively you can always use version control ie Git to ensure safety of your code
I am using Conan package manager on Windows to create a package. The conan command to create the package copies files to a folder within %USERPROFILE%\.conan (or C:\Users\xxxxxxx\.conan). Then from this location it builds a Visual Studio project and ultimately calls doxygen.exe to create a .chm help file in a post-build command. The doxygen command fails with:
error : failed to run html help compiler on index.hhp
Further investigation reveals the hhc.exe command executed by doxygen is failing with:
C:\Users\xxxxxxx\.conan\data\Module\1.0.0\user\channel\build\524dc97e4a3dd1f774ea3897f9e4faf26c5457d2\Documentation>"C:/Program Files (x86)/HTML Help Workshop/hhc.exe" html\index.hhp
HHC5010: Error: Cannot open "C:\Users\xxxxxxx\data\Module\1.0.0\user\channel\build\524dc97e4a3dd1f774ea3897f9e4faf26c5457d2\Documentation\html\Module.chm". Compilation stopped.
Close inspection reveals that in the error message, the ".conan" folder is missing. Sure enough, I confirmed that hhc.exe fails when the index.hpp resides in a folder that has a parent folder that starts with a ".".
Attempts to resolve this:
changing the Doxyfile setting OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to "$(TMP)/DoxygenModule" resolves the error, but creates the .chm file in another location, which I do not prefer.
navigating to the 8DOT3 name of the ".conan" folder, which is "CONAN~1", to run the hhc.exe command, succeeds, but unfortunately I have no way of getting conan to use this 8DOT3 path for creating the package. E.g. C:\Users\xxxxxxx\CONAN~1\...
I can live with the using the %TMP% folder but would prefer generating the .chm in the current folder. Anyone have any ideas?
HTML Help Workshop v1.31 is installed on my machine at C:\Program Files (x86)\HTML Help Workshop, probably from a Visual Studio installation (not sure). I attempted using a version downloaded from Microsoft website (v1.30) as well, which made no difference.
Other info: Conan version 1.18.0, Doxygen version 1.8.14, Windows 10 Version 1809
Unfortunately not a solution, but this is a known limitation in the hhc.exe, see: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0681145c-223b-498c-b7bf-be83209cbf4e/issue-with-html-workshop-in-a-windows-container?forum=visualstudiogeneral
HTML Help 1.x command line compiler hhc.exe cannot compile CHM file to folder whose full path contains folder name starting with dot. If you have that problem, you probably specified output path with folder starting with dot, e.g. "d:\My files.NET\documentation". You can use dots in folder names but not at the beginning.
Edit 2019-11-15:
I've just pushed a proposed patch to github (pull request 7402, https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/pull/7402).
This proposed patch changes inside doxygen from the current directory to the short named current directory, but just for the HTML Help compilation.
Edit 2019-11-16:
Code has been integrated in the master version on github.
This is not an answer either. Actually, you found the answer and workaround[s] yourself.
Use OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to specify a directory containing no folder names beginning with periods.
The error you described is a known issue of the MS HTML Help compiler. More general, the HTML Help compiler does not like some folder and file names. Try and stick with these characters _, a..z, A..Z, 0..9. Do not use these signs in particular ., -, # .
Please note that the proprietary CHM file format is about 20 years old (Windows 95, ...). HTML Help is in maintenance mode, which means no new features and bug fixes are expected for either the runtime or the compiler. All mainstream development on HH has stopped.
There is no way to avoid this error if a directory name above begins with a period. Not even if only the necessary files are written by Doxygen and compiling of the index.hhp is done by a third-party tool like FAR HTML using your path that contains .conan. This is because all applications are using the faulty HHA.dll.
The above applies of course to the entire workflow you have described. Maybe you can interrupt it.
Doxygen can be configured not to call the HTMLHelp compiler. Just uncheck the GENERATE_HTMLHELP option (DoxyWizard: Experts > Topics > HTML). You have all files generated by Doxygen in your preferred output directory - but of course without the CHM file. This can be imported later e.g. by HelpNDoc and compiled as a CHM file in another location.
If you can interrupt the workflow and can also make changes to Doxygen's settings, then a preference setting of OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to e.g. C:/CacheMenu/CONAN~1/DOXYGE~1 also works as expected (here used as test case).
No matter what you do, your workaround and copy and paste from another directory outside is a quick solution at this stage. Please note the EDIT in #albert's answer.
Using Visual Studio Code Version 1.8.1 how do I restore a deleted file in the recycle bin?
It uses the normal trash bin of your system. So you can grab it our of there.
In Windows you find it in the explorer, in Linux it is as well in Konquerer / Nemo / ...
First go to Recycle Bin of your local machine.
Your VS code deleted files is there in Recycle Bin.
So, Right click on deleted files and select-> Restore option then your deleted files
will be automatically restored in your VS code.
If you just deleted the file, know that VSCode 1.52 (Dec. 2020) will support:
Undo file operations in Explorer
Explorer now supports Undo and Redo for all file operations: delete, rename, copy, move, new file and new folder.
Make sure the focus is in the Explorer and trigger the Undo or Redo commands and your last file operation will be undone or redone respectively.
Keep in mind that we have separate undo stacks for the editor and the explorer and we choose which one to undo based on focus.
Running on Ubuntu 18.04, with VS code 1.51.0
My deleted files from VS Code are located at:
~/.local/share/Trash/files
Every deleted file have a corresponding .trashinfo file which contains details about where the file is deleted from and deletion date and these are located at:
~/.local/share/Trash/info
More info here.
To search for your deleted files:
find ~/.local/share/Trash/files -name your_file_name
In case you deleted files form a mounted ntfs filesystem, they will be located at:
/path_to_mounted_fs/.Trash-$UID
You can get $UID by doing echo $UID in your terminal.
Hope my case helped!
Click in empty space of VS Code's explorer (it's where you see files listed vertically) and press undo Ctrl + z
It'll recover your permanently deleted files too.
VS Code is a lifesaver. ✌
I know the OP says Recycle Bin. What I do though is recreate the file, especially if it's a single file. And when in the file, I just press CMD+Z (I'm on a Mac) and I get my file back.
Recreate the file in the same directory from where it was
deleted.
CMD+Z inside of the newly created file.
I accidentally discarded changes in the Source Control in VS Code, I just needed to reopen this file and press Ctrl-Z few times, glad that VS Code saves your changes like that.
If you can't find your files in the Windows Recycle Bin as it happended to me
(debugger went rogue and deleted the project folder)
look in the %APPDATA%\Code\User\History\ subfolders sorted by date modified.
There I could retrieve my seemingly lost files.
who still facing the problem on linux
and didnt find it on trash
try this solution
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/32078#issuecomment-434393058
find / -name "delete_file_name"
If you have permanently deleted files, on macOS, you can see the history (the last month I guess) in $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/History/. You will have to find your file(s) by looking at each entries.json file in every subfolder and rename the last version of your file.
There is probably a similar way on windows and linux but I don't know the precise paths.
I tried most of the options above but none worked.
What worked for me was clicking and highlighting the folder where the file was deleted from in vscode. Then while it is selected, hit CTRL + Z.
This works on windows.
Hitting CTRL+Z without highlighting that folder didn't work.
Just look up the files you deleted, inside Recycle Bin. Right click on it and do restore as you do normally with other deleted files. It is similar as you do normally because VS code also uses normal trash of your system.
While pushing a repository to Github through Vs Studio code I deleted whole folder and they were not available in Recycle bin also. Here is how I recovered those files.
For Windows.
The method is to restore the previous version of the Drive in which the deleted file existed
I had deleted files from G: drive, the below images are self explanatory
Open properties menu of the drive
In properties go to previous versions tab,
where you can find the previously stored versions of that drive along with date at time of backup
use open or click on restore to get the previous version of that drive.
Note: Manipulations in the drive after restore point won't be available
I am not sure how I deleted a file in VS Code, and couldn't find it in recycle bin. Found the file using the History feature of File Explorer.
A month recovery can be done in visual studio code
1 Right click on file and
2 click Open Timeline and
3 select file from timeline
4 the last time file saved by you
5 and your last change of the file is recovered
NOTE : Not only last but all the previously saved check points can be recoverd from vs code
For Mac, try to search some parts of the code in the deleted file in the following path:
~/Library/Application Support/Code
I found a deleted file in this folder
~/Library/Application Support/Code/Backups
Yes, I know this question is about VS Code but I think I can help someone.
I permanently deleted a file, and I tried all the tips wrote here with no success. So I had to recover the file from OS Linux following this
grep -a -C 500 -F 'Unique string in text file' /dev/sda
It was asked above if there is a way to disable the ability to delete a file you created with an undo (#rochasdv).
There is a new setting to disable undo for file operations:
Explorer: Enable Undo default is warn, confirmation dialog
You can also set it to disable so that your files/folders will not participate in undo operations.
You can alo set it to allow - the pre-new setting situation.
Currently, this new setting is in the Insiders Build v1.64 so it may be in Stable early February, 2022.
I am working on Windows with a Ubuntu WSL. I permanently deleted a file by mistake and was not able to restore it from the recycle bin nor by doing anything else.
I however, was able to get my files content by going to "Timeline" and see all my previous modification (it will open a comparison window).
Hope it will help somebody.
I had the case that I, accidentally, deleted a committed file (git) with a ton of additional uncommitted changes, and I could not get it back. (two days of work! yeah, I know, commit early commit often, I know ...)
I had no linux trash can setup on my docker instance and was developing via remote ssh.
I tried to recreate the file and then do a ctrl+Z to recapture the changes as some suggested here. This did not work for me.
So after a struggle over an hour I finally gave up and thought the changes to the file were lost.
However,
I discarded the changes in git, that the file was deleted.
And THEN I retried ctrl+Z and boom all the changes previously came back
magically!
I was a happy camper!
If your local directory has git initialized and you have not committed the changes that include the delete, you can use git checkout -f to throw away local changes.
If you completely delete any of the components in angular using visual code, you can restore it
Go to Recycle Bin and restore the deleted component that will be restored in the project.
Is there a way to make Progress Developer Studio 3.7 (Eclipse) generate all the wrx files (from the ocx) and place them in for example the rcode folder?
Clarification:
I dont know even how to make one wrx file. Have heard this "They get automatically created as soon as you drop an OCX control onto an ABL frame". But if you have removed that file, can you create it anew without having to redrop the control? And how do you automatically place it in a certain folder?
wrx files contain the properties of an ActiveX you set in the appbuilder.
If you loose the wrx, those properties revert back to default values. You should check-in the wrx files into your version control system together with the source .
To copy the wrx to the rcode directory I use robocopy.
suppose your sources are in a directory named src then you can copy them using
robocopy src rcode *.wrx /s
The wrx-file is generated when compiling in the AppBuilder.
