VSCode doesn't start up Godot and attaches

When I F5 or run the game, nothing happens. I can stop the game and pause but there’s no game screen, it doesn’t seem like it builds. No errors show up anywhere (do I need to enable a setting to see them?). I think the godot editor settings is setup fine since the language server works fine.

How can I troubleshoot this?

I’ve followed everything in the tutorial, so I’m not sure what could be wrong.

I’m on a Mac OSX Sierra 10.12.6.

Here’s my config file:

{
	"folders": [
		{
			"path": ".."
		}
	],
	"settings": {},
	"launch": {
		"version": "0.2.0",
		"configurations": [

			{
				"name": "Godot",
				"type": "godot",
				"request": "launch",
				"project": "/Users/lucrecious/dev/gear_game",
				"port": 6007,
				"address": "127.0.0.1",
				"launch_game_instance": true,
				"launch_scene": false
			}
		]
	}
}

I’ve used both the absolute file location and ${workspace} and both should have worked.

Here’s my extension settings:

Eventually, yeah; the changes are folded in my latest pull request.

I agree.

I actually don’t use VSCode for editing anymore because the Godot plugin feels incomplete. You can’t use it for plugins yet, new class_names are not included in the auto-complete until you reload the script in Godot, there are errors whenever you switch between VSCode and Godot, the auto-complete in VSCode is worse than the one in Godot’s editor, and the there’s a lot of little issues with syntax coloring. These issues really bother me and it discourages me from using VSCode for GDScript.

I think the maintainer needs to work both with Godot and the plugin itself for it to work properly, otherwise you’ll get issues like the onea above. I think it’s worth considering hard-coded VSCode logic in Godot or something, and then general logic (like how we have now) for the rest.
