通过 VS 开发人员命令提示符打开的 VS 代码无法识别“cl”

Question

As the title says, VS Code is not recognizing cl compiler although opened via Visual Studio 2022 Developer Command Prompt :

VS Code terminal:

I have tried using VS Code external terminal with
%comspec% /k "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"
which did not work.

Setting the comspec manualy in the terminal did solve the issue for the terminal instance:

But the C++ extension is still complaining about cl.exe :
cl.exe build and debug is only usable when VS Code is run from the Developer Command Prompt for VS.

I have never used VS Code for C++ before and I don't use windows for development at all so go easy on me.

What could be the reason for the issue and how it can be solved?

Answer 1

Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt must be elevated(run as Administrator) in order to correctly open VS Code with the needed permissions.

Running Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt as Admin solves the issue.

Answer 2

对我有用的一种解决方案是直接进入 C++ 扩展设置并找到编译器路径设置，然后手动将其设置为计算机上的 cl.exe 路径。
