Having an issue with the VS Code extension

I can’t seem to download one of my projects from a GitHub repository using the makecode VS Code extension. The project is valid and in a public repo. Help?

Here’s the project in question.

hmmm what error are you getting?

“Unable to download project”

hmmmm looks like it’s broken for all github urls. i’ll file a bug

in the meantime, you should be able to download the repo normally and open it in vscode. the extension should work fine!

It will? I thought about it but didn’t know if creating a project sets up some kind of environment so I thought it wouldn’t work if I opened a folder I cloned from github. Thanks!

yeah, should work fine! you might need to install the dependencies (in the makecode section of vscode there’s a command for it)

@richard Is it possible to debug or see the console with the extension? These features are really important and I don’t think I can work on my projects without them

you can see the console!

  1. open the output pane (View > Ouput or ctrl+shift+u)
  2. in the dropdown on the top right of the output pane, select the MakeCode Simulator
