The Animation doesn't work in Fedora 39

[cycode0527]

My system is Fedora 39, new installed yesterday. Now I installed this plugin,use default settings. BUT...... Any animation don't work! Follows are the images--I have true plugins and settings.

yeah, I have installed Custom CSS and JS Loader and executed Animations: install enable and so on.

I also tried to uninstall and install the plugin, but in vain.

Otherwise, I installed this plugin in Windows yesterday in custom css and js loader , and it ran perfectly, only with some tiny warnings. But now I install in the same way, and any animation don't work.

Ok, thanks for giving helpful information. Did you try using the Apc Customize UI++ option for the Install-Method setting? Let me know if that works.

thanks much for your reply!

yes，I have tried but it echo an error like "xxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. permission denied"

I want to give you more info but now is 00:45 with my laptop only 10% electric.

I will (复现）this bug tomorrow.

Ok, likely the issue is vscode is not running with full permissions which are required for any installation method to properly install the animations.

oh, the error info is like that:

but if I want to start vscode in root-mode , it denied me:

root@fedora:~# code
You are trying to start Visual Studio Code as a super user which isn't recommended. If this was intended, please add the argument `--no-sandbox` and specify an alternate user data directory using the `--user-data-dir` argument.

If I rename the file showed manually, It will make my vscode broken and I must uninstall it (cry)

Thanks very much!!!!!! I change the ownership of /usr/share/code to my user, and change to APC+. Then change the own back. IT WORKS!!

I think this issue can be closed. But I really wonder that why I use custom js and css in Windows and APC+ in linux.........

Ok great! You could try custom js and css again, that has a good chance of working now that apc is working. I just initially suggested apc because it often works for people when custom js and css didn't.

Maybe give custom css and js a try again with the same permissions and then I'll close this issue?

Thanks, you are right.

I have uninstalled and installed many times to experience, and found that : You must have w permission on /usr/share/code to install both the plugins. I think that's because your plugin writes something to the dir.

It may have a tiny problem: vscode may display a warning that Installation appears to be corrupt. I think it is no matter and set don't show again :smile:

Ok great, thanks for making this issue because now your helping many people in the future!

This extension uses either custom css and js or apc to write custom code into vscode's electron html file so that's why permissions are required.

The message Installation appears to be corrupt is just custom css and js, basically meaning vscode detected custom css, nothing to worry about.

So to summarize what I had to do:

1. Temporarily change ownership of VSCode dir: sudo chown -Rv $USER:$USER /usr/share/code
2. Run VSCode and run through all installation steps (uninstall if it was already installed)
3. Change ownership back to root (for security reasons): sudo chown -Rv root:root /usr/share/code

We should probably add this to the troubleshooting section.

Ok, thank you for explaining how. I'll add it soon.
