  • Issue of the topic: when trying to add workspace to visual code, openhab does not show in /etc map

Hi,

I installed openhab 3 on linux machine (zorin 16) and installed visual code, with openhab add on.
However when i try to add folder to workspace and i navigate to /etc openhab does not show. I can navigate to /etc/openhab using file manager.
I guess it has to do with rights. the folder is shared, tried to chmod 777 openhab, but somehow it stays hiddden.

Any body has a suggestion where to look or what config i have to change?

Have you configured vs code plugin according to documentation?

Hi,

Thank you for the tip. Don’t know if I did this correctly, guess not, but will look into that tonight.

The error I made was using VC on the same machine that is running openhab. For reasons I do not understand yet, this does not work.
However when I installed VC on other machine and cofigured plugin correctly, it works.
