VS Code openHAB Extension!

Hello, I have many problems with VS Code (V.1.28.2) and openhab after reinstalling.

file not fount //etc/…/xxx.rule
no rest-api (no items and things)
rest-api works in the browser
no karaf-console

my vs-code user.settings:

    {
    "openhab.host": "192.168.178.120",
    "openhab.port": 8080,
    "openhab.lspPort": 5007,
    "openhab.lspEnabled": true,
    "workbench.iconTheme": "openhab",
    "openhab.karafCommand": "ssh openhab@192.168.178.120 -p 8101 -t 'log:tail'",
    "git.ignoreLegacyWarning": true,
    "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"
}

What’s the problem?

PS.
VS-Code on a windows 10 pc (64bit)
openhab (actual snapshot) on a rpi3
openhab-conf via samba-share
vs-code openHAB-extension 0.4.0

Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
I’ve the same issue - it’s basically check the server path, rather than mapping back to the locally accessible version…

Hi Josar,
Would your method with private key also work if openhab installation was in a docker container?

286

Just a newbie question:
Why are some items names in the item files displayed in white, wheras the majority is displayed in a different color (some sort of blue)?

287

The first capital letter

288

I have “white” items where the first letter is a capital

289

Strange, pass the line I try on my VS

290
DateTime ABF1_DATE { http="<[http://127.0.0.1:8080/static/ICAL/...:360000:JS(abfall_naechste_abholung_datum.js)]" }

ABF1_DATE is white in my VS

291

Two consecutive capital letters at the beginning of an Item name does the same for me.

292

For me the letters all have to be capitalized to show the label in white color:

You’re right… I didn’t test this enough. Adding a single lower case letter changed it to cyan.

294

In my VS it seems that all items with a mixture of lower and capital letters are in cyan color, while items with only lower case letters or only capital letters are in white color.
I raised this questions because i wanted to understand the rationale behind that. If it is simply that. Im fine but i thought there would be more.

295

Nope. There’s not more and there is already an issue opened for this behavior.

296

Unfortunately still not. I only get the Items and Variables. For example, no methods of “now” are displayed:

297

Me too. I only get the same.

298

Have you connected your network-drive with a letter ?

That helps me.

Hi Peter, yes.
But thanks to your comment, I’ve found one error!
So I had my Pi mounted as a net drive with a letter. However, that network drive never showed in Visual Studio code - apparently because I ran VS Code by default as Administrator (full explanation here.)
After removing the admin checkmark in the properties, I can find the drive letter and also use it in my VS code workspace. This also cleared the error by the VS Code extension that always popped up when I first opened a file from my Pi.

@Saracen
This also made the suggestions work!

Sorry for my silly question, but where are those properties to change. I didn’t find them. Pls. give a hint or better a solution :upside_down_face::wink:

Right-click on your VS Code shortcut or your Code.exe in the installation path, go to the “Compatibility” tab and make sure the checkbox is not set:

Hi Chewie,
thx for this information and good to know. But as I can see, my properties looks similar to yours.

. So at the moment no change is necessary for my setup. But I can count on your hint if I have to do a new installation.

Cheers,
Peter
