I have VSCode in my applications folder.

Seems like your VSCode was installed by another user, so your user account doesn't have permissions to modify it. To solve this, go to /Applications, find Visual Studio Code.app, right click → Get Info, and make sure that your account has Read & write permissions in the Sharing & Permissions section.

Edit: my previous solution doesn't solve the issue fully, running sudo chown -R $(whoami):staff "/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/" in a terminal should fix this.

I'm having the same issue actually, and giving my user read/write permissions didn't help :(

I've also tried what's been suggested here: https://github.com/illixion/vscode-vibrancy-continued/issues/30#issuecomment-1277140078 but no dice sadly, the error still pops up.

And I've just tried running it with sudo:

$ sudo open /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app

Still no luck.

MacBook Pro M1 Pro
Ventura 13.0
VS Code v1.73.0

Thanks for updating your comment, was about to ask if you're running Ventura as I haven't had the time to test it yet. Please try running these commands in the VSCode integrated terminal and post the output here:

stat "/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/"
mkdir "/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vscode-vibrancy-runtime-v6"
touch "/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vscode-vibrancy-runtime-v6/index.js"

thanks for your prompt reply!

Here's the output:

❯ stat "/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/"

Interesting, your installation of VSCode seems to have been done by the root user. Did you use homebrew to install VSCode by any chance?

I've also just realized that my solution doesn't apply permissions to enclosed items, so to fix this run sudo chown -R $(whoami):staff "/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/".

There's currently a PR open that adds sudo support to this extension, I'll try to review it and merge as soon as I have time, as it should fix this issue properly.

Yay this did the trick, thank you so much!

I should have mentioned it's a company-managed laptop (even though I have root access myself), and VS Code has been installed through a portal-like app my company provides where you can choose what to install from a set of predefined apps. So yeah, it probably runs brew in the backend!

No problem, glad to hear that this is resolved!

You probably have a system-wide installation of VSCode, run it as administrator before enabling Vibrancy.

Unfortunately, the command you gave does not run on my M1 machine. What am I doing wrong?

In addition, all the other steps you asked for did not work either.

The command in your screenshot is different from the one I’ve provided, you need to copy and paste it exactly as it appears in my comment. Also, make sure that you’re not using smart quotes in your commands. As long as you copy directly from your web browser into the Terminal, you should be fine.

It's likely that VSCode files are owned by the root user on Kali Linux, you can run VSCode as root using sudo, or you can run chown -R $(whoami) /path/to/vscode on the directory where VSCode is installed to take ownership, it should also be in the error message.
