Vscode-code-runner: Error with scriptcs

[abhi18av]

Hi @formulahendry

As mentioned in the readme I've installed the scriptcs extension and it works fine on the terminal for the *.csx scripts but it's not the same with run code command in VsCode.

Console.WriteLine("Hello C#")

The above displays the expected output with scriptcs scratch.csx but inside VsCode it raises the following error

[Running] scriptcs "/Users/eklavya/Projects/Amsterdam/RosettaCode/scratch.csx"

The filename being in quotations seems to be the problem - could you tell me how to correct this.

Happy new year 😄

Seems like it is scriptcs issue, refer to this. Could you please run scriptcs "/Users/eklavya/Projects/Amsterdam/RosettaCode/scratch.csx" in terminal. If the issue also exists in terminal, please upgrade scriptcs and try again.

[abhi18av]

Okay, I've reported the issue over at the scriptcs repo, - it's odd that the issue would come up in 0.16.1 version.

[formulahendry]

For quick workaround, you could try below settings in 'User Settings' of VS Code to avoid using full file path:

"code-runner.executorMap": 
{ 
"csharp": "cd $dir && scriptcs $fileName" 
}

[abhi18av]

Yup, this was essentially an external issue. I needed to change the settings of the code runner plugin.

It seems scriptcs 0.17.1 has not yet fixed the problem lol.
