Errors on the AutoCAD AutoLISP Extension for Visual Studio Code #177

Closed roja83567 closed 2 years ago

roja83567 commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I installed VS Code, then its AutoCAD AutoLISP Extension (by Autodesk), in order to edit & debug my lisp programs. I was able to access this platform through plain AutoCAD 2021 via the VLISP command.

Also, I am following the steps from the Autodesk article below to configure & use properly VS Code & its extension to work with lisp programs for AutoCAD

-Getting Started with Visual Studio Code (AutoLISP/VS Code): https://help.autodesk.com/view/OARX/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-7BE00235-5D40-4789-9E34-D57685E83875

That being said, I got stuck on step 4, i.e. Create or Open an Existing AutoLISP Project. As shown on the attached JPG file, every time I click on the (a) "Create a New Project" icon or the (b) "Open an Existing Project" icon, I get the following errors respectively:

(a) command 'autolisp.createProject' not found (b) command 'autolisp.openProject' not found

Screenshot of the error

I had tried to google these errors, but I did not found anything related to them.

Could you please advise?

Thanks in advance, RR

Hi @roja83567 , I couldn't reproduce this problem. I guess the extension was not successfully installed on your machine. Please have a try with following steps:

  1. remove the AutoLISP extension;
  2. restart VS Code
  3. reinstall the AutoLISP extension; it may take sometime, so please wait until it's really finished, as shown below: image

Hope it works this time.

Hi @Sen-real ,

Thanks for your input on this matter.

I tried your suggestion unsuccessfully; however, I updated both VS Code & the AC AutoLISP Extension to the next available versions, v1.65.2 & v1.5.0 respectively, and the problem was solved.

Thanks again for igniting the spark that helped to resolve the cause of this issue.

Cheers, RR

Hi @roja83567 , Really happy to know it works now! Yes, since VS Code APIs keep changing/upgrading, please make sure your VS Code and AutoLISP Extension are upgraded to the latest versions. Can we resolve this issue?

The issue has already been resolved, so it's all good now.
