I create a hello world from tutorial. Why my vscode always show building when I run extension.

Executing task: npm run watch < helloworld@0.0.1 watch D:\work\Plugin\helloworld tsc -watch -p./ [11:28:42 ├F10: AM┤] Found 0 errors. Watching for file changes.

No error message.

Answer 1

I have the same issue. Since it is watching for file changes, I change info message(eg change vscode.window.showInformationMessage('Hello World!') to vscode.window.showInformationMessage('Hello VSCode!') ) and save, then it works.

Answer 2

i encounted the same problem just now, i found the distinction between my project and offical tutorial that is the webpack property

resolve

• remove your proejct file
• follow the offical tutorial again(each step each parameter)
• and then debugging, it's will run perfectly
