Recent compilation error

[vaisoliviu]

Hello,

I am experiencing a problem when I try to compile programs and files:

Could this be related to the message I have here?

Also if I click on this to force enable it, i get the no external description found for all the files in my program.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

@vaisoliviu I converted this to a discussion. This happens when the IBM Project Explorer extension is activated. I suggest you disable that extension, reload VS Code, and then the typical library list will be shown.

[vaisoliviu]

Thanks allot @worksofliam. Still have an issue though:

This is the error from the terminal:
bash: line 1: /home/infova/.vscode/cqsh_1: No such file or directory

[worksofliam]

@vaisoliviu In your connection settings, under the Source tab, change your default deployment method to 'No Default' and go from there.

[vaisoliviu]

@worksofliam Thanks, the issue was actually caused by an action that I modified some time ago, it is weird that it stopped working now.
I have an env variable that i use when i compile to insert the current date as text into the objects description. That was giving the errors.

[vaisoliviu]

As for the default Deployment Method, although I choose the 'No default' option, as soon as I exit the screen, it goes to *blanks and i have the "Default deployment method is set but not usable in your environment." each time I compile.

@vaisoliviu Looks like you are running into the same issue mentioned here. I have a pending PR to address this.
