nothing happens for all commands

[MalcolmMielle]

I've installed this extension on my install and every time I try to verify a sketch, find the library or any other command provided by the extension, nothing happens. I can't even find an error message.

I don't know if that has to do with the fact the itellisense cannot see any library (which is a bug with multiple issues here)

Not sure what I can do to try to provide help in finding the cause. i've tried launche vscode in a terminal but still nothing is printed.

@MalcolmMielle Please provide more information for your issue. Version? It possible, list the snapshot for this issue.

[MalcolmMielle]

No problem:

• visual-studio-code-1.18.0

How can I get the snapshot ?

[Erutan409]

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. What happened? Seems to be affected after updating Visual Code after a couple months of absence.

[yaohaizh]

@Erutan409 Do you install this extension? And what is your OS version?

[Erutan409]

@yaohaizh I don't know what happened, but I just kinda moved back and forth between options and it seemed to all of a sudden work.

OS: Windows 10
Yes, I did install the extension.

Unfortunately another issue has been creeping up with me seeing unknown protocol: c 3 times in the bottom of the console.

Should this be happening on each startup of the Visual Code IDE, btw?

This is happening every time and I have no idea why.

[czgtest]

update the latest vscode version and open an exist project to run command ,try again

[czgtest]

@Erutan409 and @MalcolmMielle , Sometimes the URL's that board manager uses are down, and when this happens the board manager "removes" the already installed boards from the arduino installation.
then, VSCode Board Manager will automatic update, That's why you can see logs about updating package and library.

this behavior is by design now, we will plan to disable VSCode Board Manager automatic update next, and support users to customize whether this feature is automatically updated, Is that help ?

[czgtest]

please ref #394

[Erutan409]

@czgtest Honestly, I wouldn't be a good reference for this, anymore. I'm now using VisualMicro for Visual Studio Community Edition.

I had the same issue ("command arduino.* not found"), but resolved it by enabling the C/C++ extension. It was a new installation of VSCode and the first thing I tried was the Arduino extension. I'm guessing most users don't see this issue because C/C++ is probably enabled first.

macOS 10.13.3
Arduino 1.8.5
VSCode 1.21.1
Arduino extension 0.2.11

Hope this helps someone.

No more feedback more than one week, close.

[ctastan]

just change proxy setting to "No proxy" via Arduino IDE. (Because Arduino Extention using Arduino IDE base settings)
File->preferences->Network->No proxy
Resolved for me.
