VS Code

Maybe this is just an issue with my inability to format code effectively or maybe I'm just undiagnosed dyslexic (Open Dyslexic really does help me) but I have issues with my functions running together when I'm writing for more than five minutes. Is there an addon for VS Code that would highlight the background of my function bodies with different colors? I know that this is oddly specific, but I think this would really help. If it's language specific, I spend most of my time writing Go.

i hadn't fired up my python project in an age, probably two vscodium updates. when i did, i had no more syntax checking and the alert window showed errors reaching the 'jedi' server.

downgrading the vscode-python extension to 2023.16.0 was seen as the surefire way to clear this. it worked for me, too - got my syntax error highlighting back and no pesky errors in the alert pane.

they created a new issue against the extension, or the packaging system, or something, which was closed immediately though the problem still persisted. the chatter was about a cache, somewhere, with a lot of 'perhaps' and 'if'. one day i'll try bumping this back up, maybe after vscode-python passes the problematic 2023.18.0 version.

I was just thinking that sometimes I avoid breaking functions in a file into multiple modules because I don't want to deal with the hassle of switching files. One way to remove that hassle would be to have a way to view all the files in a folder in a single tab with each file appended to the list, so I could scroll through or search all of them in the same tab.

Does VS Code already have an extension like this? If not, is the VS Code extension system flexible enough to implement this feature?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to try out F# via FSI in VS Code (Windows 10)

I have Ionide for F# installed, and have used it before, but now every time I try to start it I get a message "FSI :Start resulted in an error", it goes on to helpfully report "the option has no value".

dotnet is in path, dotnet works great. FSI? nothing.

I also have the .net workload installed for visual studio 2022 (if that matters).

I started up my Linux VM (KDE Neon) fired up vs codium and tried FSI Start...same error! So no tinkering in f# for me tonight. Does anyone have an idea what's happening, across two environments? Google is no help...

Early last year, I forked a project that had gone idle. I did a couple of updates to make it work with the new version of VSCode, and released it on both marketplaces. It has a few downloads, and no one has yelled at me yet, so I'm not the only one that uses it I guess.

I want to update it with some newer packages out there, updated security versions, and other bits such as the move from vscode-test to @vscode/test-electron, but I'm hitting a block (in not knowing JS/TS very well, most of my 30 years has been with C#, Perl, PHP, SQL, etc.), and I was wondering if anyone had an article or suggestion on documentation how to make that move.

Or am I just starting over with "how to set up test-electron from scratch" and redoing all the tests? :) (that was not my hope for a quick update turn around, but if that is what has to happen...)
