I can't install the plugin #47

Closed krux02 closed 7 years ago

krux02 commented 7 years ago

when I press install in visual studio code, the green button "install" becomes darker and says "installing". That is basically all that happens. No plugin installs. No error message, no log found in the console. It just doesn't do anything.

OS: arch-linux

Visual Studio Code:

Version 1.3.1

That seems to be VSCode's bug. See this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36234643/cannot-install-extensions-in-visual-studio-code (the author is also on Arch Linux and claims he eventually was able to install extensions).

They had this issue filed/fixed long ago, but seems it hasn't been completely fixed: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/8859

Actually, your VSCode version is quite outdated. Have you tried the recent version? Try 1.10.x.

Well I forgot that visual studio code was an AUR package, I did the update now, and the problem is solved. Thank you for your support.
