Failed to open database

See original GitHub issue

I got this error - that was fixed here - in the latest version.

I resolved that downgrading the version to 0.7.1, but the problem returned.

Error:

Failed to open database: Database failed to open: SQLite process failed to start: The argument 'file' cannot be empty. Received ''

I got the same error here, and when browsing to find a fix i found this issue https://github.com/AlexCovizzi/vscode-sqlite/issues/83, so the problem is that some linux (ubuntu 20.04 here) cant run sqlite3 explorer without sqlite3 packages installed, so you need to install it, run:

 sudo apt install sqlite

and i think it will fix it (worked for me)

Edit: check https://github.com/AlexCovizzi/vscode-sqlite/issues/119#issuecomment-639948097 for fix without installing any package

Guys, u don’t need this. If u enabled “sqlite.logLevel”:“DEBUG” on VsCode JSON Settings, look for the file like “/home/wendel/.vscode/extensions/alexcvzz.vscode-sqlite-0.8.2/bin/sqlite-v3.26.0-linux-x64”

Go to terminal and type “chmod +x /home/wendel/.vscode/extensions/alexcvzz.vscode-sqlite-0.8.2/bin/sqlite-v3.26.0-linux-x64”

And the issue is resolved without installing anything else.

I think that this will happen only on unix SO’s.
