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Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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.

@enihcam: Because electron (which is included in the package) requries gtk2 (which is not included in the package) to work.

enihcam commented on 2017-11-14 02:08 (UTC)

@db6edr In that case, why do we explicitly specify gtk2 as one of the dependencies?

<deleted-account> commented on 2017-11-13 07:18 (UTC)

Visual Studio Code is Electron app, which in turn uses Chromium for the UI part. So I guess it would be best to have a look there.

enihcam commented on 2017-11-13 06:25 (UTC)

@dcelasun Thanks! Also, do you happen to know if vscode is going to port to gtk3 or not? I'm removing gtk2 and all its apps from my laptop, and vscode is the last blocker.

@sistematico: That's just a network error, try again.

@enihcam: Please search the comments, gvfs is needed for the "move to trash" functionality. Still, I'll move both to optdepends. In the future, if you have a concern about the Arch package please report it here before opening an issue upstream. Thanks.

enihcam commented on 2017-11-09 13:43 (UTC)

@dcelasun can you remove dependencies of gconf and gvfs? they are not needed, for details please refer to https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/37886

jaxmetalmax commented on 2017-10-26 16:42 (UTC)

@PorousSun once you finished running makepkg you run sudo pacman -U yourpackage.tar.xz

PorousSun commented on 2017-10-26 16:28 (UTC)

@Marcel_K I thought makepkg called pacman, how should I update vscode?
