povray icon click does not work

GBZH commented 3 years ago

Issue Type: Bug

Hi,

I am running Code on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Povray extension. A few days ago when clicking on the top right povray icon in Code, rendering was working, but since 2 days, nothing happens, no error message, no outpout and no rendered imahge gets open. Any hints would be more than welcome. Many thanks

Extension version: 0.0.11 VS Code version: Code 1.59.0 (379476f0e13988d90fab105c5c19e7abc8b1dea8, 2021-08-04T23:13:20.182Z) OS version: Linux x64 5.4.0-80-generic Restricted Mode: No

In fact it looks like the icon button is not linked to any executable. Where can such a link be made ? Probably in one of the json files located in folder .vscode/extensions/jmaxwilson.vscode-povray-0.0.11/, but I do not know enough of this langage to make this link. Does anyone knows how to it for other extensions ?

One more thing: CTRL+SHIFT+b asks "Select the build task to run" and proposes only one task : "POV-Ray: Render Scene" which works fine when chosen ! This last message is the same obtained when putting the mouse on the non working top right Povray render icon.

Well, same here on Mac (BigSur 11.4) with VSCode ( Version: 1.59.0 Commit: 379476f0e13988d90fab105c5c19e7abc8b1dea8 Date: 2021-08-04T23:14:40.191Z Electron: 13.1.7 Chrome: 91.0.4472.124 Node.js: 14.16.0 V8: 9.1.269.36-electron.0 OS: Darwin x64 20.5.0 )

This was working well untill end of 2020, then on my side I got an update of VSCode to above version. Not sure how to help. When I click the Povray button, nothing happen - usually the terminal window shows the povray command line output... But now, nothing happens at all :/ Unfortunately I also know nothing here in VSCode extensions... Hoping for a fix soon, thank you ! Any further information I can provide on my side, please let me know....

I decided to fork this project and build a new extension with some fixes, like the button in the upper right works again. (some changes in VSCode and POV-Ray caused issues as noticed)

I'm just interested in helping the community, I'm brand new to extensions, and we'll see how all of this goes. Hopefully no one is upset. :)
