Vscode-cpptools: command C_Cpp.ConfigurationEditJSON not found

Created on 9 May 2019 · 9Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-cpptools

Issue Type: Bug

I am trying to use VS code on my windows machine for c++ development (with WSL).

Following the steps outlined in - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-wsl

While trying to create the configuration json, using Ctrl+Shift+P, "Edit Configurations":

I don't see "Edit Configurations"
Do see "Edit Configurations (JSON)" though which I believe should work similarly, but getting this error "command 'C_Cpp.ConfigurationEditJSON' not found".

Extension version: 0.23.0
VS Code version: Code 1.33.1 (51b0b28134d51361cf996d2f0a1c698247aeabd8, 2019-04-11T08:27:14.102Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17134

Yes, they are all affected. You can work around this issue by creating and opening a C/C++ file in your new folder before running the command.

Hello, i have the same problem, did you figure it out?

The same happens with the UI configuration command.

You should have a .cpp file first.

Thank you for reporting this issue. We are investigating the root cause.

A similar error message is also shown for all other extension commands!
I'm running the same VS Code and extension versions as OP.
