FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)

  • What is the difference between this package and the one in the community repo?

This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the license difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open source version.

  • There is a new version out, why is the package not updated?

Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date. If there is no new version on that page, it's not yet released. A tag on Github is NOT a release! If you can see the new version on the updates page but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within a day or two.

  • I'm using an AUR helper (yay, yaourt etc.) and I can't install it. Why?

Sometimes AUR helpers do weird things. Download the tarball and install it manually with makepkg -si. If that works, report the problem to your AUR helper's upstream, not here.

  • When I install this package xdg-open uses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?

Install shared-mime-info-gnome. Also see this reddit thread.

  • Why is $X a dependency? I don't like it.

Just because $X is not required to open the app, doesn't mean there is nothing that depends on it. Always search the comment history on AUR to see if that dependency has been previously discussed before writing your own comment. Still nothing? Then use namcap to make sure it's really not needed. If namcap doesn't complain, please leave a comment here and I'll investigate.

  • Something is broken with the app, where do I report it?

The problem might be a packaging issue (wrong paths, dependencies, icons), so please write a comment here first. If you don't get a reply, or if someone says it's an upstream issue, you can report it on Github.

  • I have a problem with this package, can I email you?

No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.

@NeedleNardleNoo I pulled your commit in, thanks!

The deb and rpm packages currently have installation scripts that register *.code-workspace files as a mime type. I have added this functionality in the following commit on GitHub: https://github.com/conradhaupt/aur-visual-studio-code-bin/commit/61d3be3d042c206409b725f0290c03eab8785e6a

This allows VSCode to be the default program for workspaces but not all text/plain files and directories, as indicated by the bundled .desktop file.

I am currently merging changes from this AUR package with this commit on every release for my personal use. @dcelasun, you may use the commit and its changes if you feel it will be useful to visual-studio-code-bin.

Sometimes the CDN has issues, try again a bit later.

curl: (28) Failed to connect to az764295.vo.msecnd.net port 443: Connection timed out

From Indonesia, what do you think?

dcelasun commented on 2021-03-15 16:29 (UTC)

It's no bother at all! I've updated the package to avoid an extra redirect :)

@dcelasun I was debugging your package, cause i wasnt being able to download due to a network problem, and i noticed that https://vscode-update.azurewebsites.net/ was responding with http 301 and redirecting to https://update.code.visualstudio.com/. Thats why i asked. Sorry to bother you.

dcelasun commented on 2021-03-15 16:19 (UTC) (edited on 2021-03-15 16:20 (UTC) by dcelasun)

@pdimh: I wasn't aware of that domain. I do know that vscode-update.azurewebsites.net is an official Microsoft domain for vscode. But I'll switch it over to avoid a double redirect.

pdimh commented on 2021-03-15 16:13 (UTC)

@dcelasun i was meaning update.code.visualstudio.com, doesnt seems region-dependant. But its ok, thanks.

dcelasun commented on 2021-03-15 15:55 (UTC)

@pdimh no. These URLs are generic on purpose, the actual locations are region-dependant and might change over time.

pdimh commented on 2021-03-15 13:05 (UTC)

@dcelasun firstly, thanks for your job. binary urls in PKGBUILD return a http 301 status. Isnt it safer to change to the current url?
