Open a folder or workspace file open folder как исправить

wondering if you could assist. Really challenging in determining a solution to this from my research.

Ive downloaded Visual Studio code two weeks ago and has come across an error once I try to debug a file. The file appears to open but once I run the debugger it shows accordingly:

‘${workspaceFolder}’ can not be resolved. Please open a folder.

Can’t seem to find or replicate a similar solution. I’ve also tried to reinstall Visual Studio code (no easy feat). I’m trying to at least understand the problem and its source.

The file is a .js file that I’ve been working on, running a simple function. It is not meant to operate in tandem with a larger workspace/program.

In VScode go to file —> Add folder to workspace and select the folder where the program files are located.

Replace ${workspaceFolder} with ${FOLDER_NAME:workspaceFolder} in your *.code-workspace file. (from [here][1])

By the way, same goes to ${workspaceRoot}, you can replace it with ${FOLDER_NAME:workspaceRoot}.

Any more folder variables ca be fixed with this FOLDER_NAME: prefix? My workspaces did not use them so far.

Worked for me in Version: 1.44.2.

I know this question is very old already and the answers may have been correct but none worked for me on vscode v1.57.1 at the time of this comment on 30.06.2021

I had to replace ${workspaceFolder} with ${workspaceFolder:my-folder-name} in my *.code-workspace file

I recently had this problem and so did I read the answers above but being a beginner I was unable to solve it .In my answer I don’t have exactly what you should do but I will show what worked for me.

1. Go to the explorer and you will see there is no folder added.
2. Browse for .vscode folder and select it.
3. Issue solved {this atleast worked for me.It**(.vscode)** had .json extension file in it}.

«Open a folder or workspace… (File -> Open Folder)»

Wow! I got the solution,
whenever you try to open file without opening folder in visual studio code, then the issue occurs, to avoid this first open the folder(where code file already exist) in visual studio code, and then you can open live server by right click.
thank you

it really works……………

Will you please attach screenshot or write your issue which you are facing?
It will help me to understand related problem

…

Thanks, but It worked with the help of your previous answer.

Didn’t work for me

Try doing «ctrl O» and then open the file. This will solve it. You might have seen «Not Opened In Folder» notification

go to file>open folder> then open the folder where .html file is saved dont open the file just open the folder

It worked for me …thanks for posting

right click on UNTITLED (WORKSPACE) and select ADD FOLDER TO WORKSPACE
select the folder you wan to add and continue working.

you can also click on FILE and select ADD FOLDER TO WORKSPACE. then select the complete folder of your code.

Guyz…. its not working because you might have selected «open file» option to put your file in VS Code, instead try to select «open folder» option in VS Code and it will surely gonna work. 👍 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯

For Apple users,
hi guys what worked for me it was, when i went to open the folder the system just took me right to the folder, i clicked out of there like were the folder is, then i went to the folder then the file, if the bottom line turns blue in vscode that means it worked. let me know please.

you can also click on FILE and select ADD FOLDER TO WORKSPACE. then select the complete folder of your code.

Exactly make sure all the folders you have your files in are saved in a «WORKSPACE FOLDER». Put all your files in the Workspace Folder, then open the files from your workspace folder by using VSCODE to open it.

Thank you- it works!

vá para arquivo>abrir pasta> depois abra a pasta onde o arquivo .html está salvo não abra o arquivo apenas abra a pasta

Consegui resolver com sua ajuda. grato!!!!!!!!!!!

solution:
on VSC go to upper left: file>open folder
select the folder which contains the .html files
after that, the folder opens in VSC and you will be able to run the live server on each html file.

«Open a folder or workspace… (File -> Open Folder)» when «> Live Server: Open with Live Server» without a folder being open» This issue happens to me too when I just create file in VS and just run it, so I just create some folder and put the file their and it works.

Solved it, turns out it’s you are using just one file of a folder instead of the folder in its entirety, I don’t know if I;m expressing myself correctly pero if this didn’t help let me know

Если вы используете последнюю версию Visual Studio 1.44, обязательно обновитесь до 1.44.2.

Проблема microsoft/vscodeПроблема 94725 решена.
Там было то же сообщение об ошибке:

После некоторого исследования проблема заключается в следующем: для конфигурации рабочей области наши расширения отладки добавляют следующий атрибут

__workspaceFolder:'${workspaceFolder}'

И преобразователь конфигурации должным образом пытается решить эту проблему и жалуется, потому что объем папки не указан.
В мультикорневой рабочей области область видимости должна быть указана, иначе распознаватель не знает, в какой папке разрешать переменные.

Предлагаемое исправление: расширение узла, которое добавляет этот атрибут, должно охватывать его, если оно видит, что мы находимся в мультикорневой папке.
Так что вместо${workspaceFolder} использовать ${FOLDER_NAME:workspaceFolder}.

Это исправлено в фиксации ae97613.

Заменить ${workspaceFolder} с участием ${FOLDER_NAME:workspaceFolder} в твоем *.code-workspaceфайл. (из [здесь][1])

Кстати, то же самое касается ${workspaceRoot}, вы можете заменить его на ${FOLDER_NAME:workspaceRoot}.

Любые другие переменные папки могут быть исправлены этим FOLDER_NAME:префикс? Мои рабочие места пока ими не пользовались.

Работал у меня в Version: 1.44.2.

Я знаю, что этот вопрос уже очень старый, и ответы, возможно, были правильными, но ни один из них не работал у меня на vscode v1.57.1 во время этого комментария 30.06.2021

Мне пришлось заменить
${workspaceFolder} с участием
${workspaceFolder:my-folder-name} в моем
*.code-workspace файл

Ссылка: переменные для каждой папки рабочей области

У меня недавно была эта проблема, и я прочитал ответы выше, но, будучи новичком, я не смог ее решить. В моем ответе у меня нет точного ответа, что вы должны делать, но я покажу, что сработало для меня.

1. Зайдите в проводник, и вы увидите, что папка не добавлена.
2. Найдите папку .vscode и выберите ее.
3. Проблема решена {это, по крайней мере, сработало для меня. В нем **(. Vscode)** был файл с расширением .json}.
