How "to ensure proper integration between HttpRepl and Visual Studio Code."?

Question

I'm trying to use httprepl to test endpoints in my ASP.NET app. When I tried to run a POST request my Command Prompt returned:

The default editor must be configured using the command `pref set editor.command.default "{commandLine}"`.

So I set it with the following command:

pref set editor.command.default "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe"

Then I get a warning:

If your default editor is Visual Studio Code, you should set the default command arguments (`editor.command.default.arguments`) to include `-w` or `--wait` to ensure proper integration between HttpRepl and Visual Studio Code.

I don't know what to do at this point. I tried:

pref set editor.command.default.arguments "-w"

I'm not sure whether that worked or not, but when I try to repeat the command to set VS Code as my default editor, I get the same warning. Have I got that right?

Answer 1

I think you might have already figured it out. However, since I got the same error (using nodejs and httprepl instead), I just post my answer for others' reference. For me, it had nothing to do with the "default editor", I only need to add -c "{}" after post .

post -c "{}"

the -c provides an (empty in this case) inline HTTP request body. you may also provide some other stuff like: -c "{'id':2,'name':'Cherry'}" according to this

Wish you all the best and have a peaceful day
