Issue loading workspaces with VSCode on Linux


Configuring VSCode - Insiders on Ubuntu-Mate 18.04 and running into a issue loading workspaces I have created. I can create the workspaces with specific folders, but when I attempt to 'load' that workspace, it just opens up the workspace file in VS and NOT load the workspace folders.

Tried doing a clean removal and install of VSCode. No luck.

I have a hunch that the file is seen as 'plain text' in caja and due to that, VS is just loading it in as a text file, not the actual workspace.

Is there a config that I need to edit for VScode that will load my workspaces properly? Thx


Solution

  • I had the same problem. the solution is to save workspace as "your_ws_name.code-workspace". ".code-workspace" as the extension.
