Vscode-neovim: On Startup, VSCode Throws "Unable to init vscode-neovim: command 'type' already exists" Error

Created on 18 Sep 2020 · 5Comments · Source: asvetliakov/vscode-neovim

On startup (Windows 10) I get the following message when trying to start up vscode-neovim for the first time

Context

I installed the nvim nightly build and put it into C:UsersdargoAppDataLocalProgramsNeovimbin
This is also where I set the target directory to in settings (picture below)

Other than that, the installation is almost base vscode, with nothing but the base vim extension installed.

do I have to uninstall the vim extension to use this?

I tried removing the normal vim plugin and it started working. Wasn't sure if I needed both extensions or just one.

Thanks for asking

@ca-mantis-shrimp did you figure out what to do with the issue? Why did you close it?

@asvetliakov can we somehow reflect this in the doc/README? I am not sure if it is intuitive for all users.

@v-iashin, won't hurt. Could you send a PR to README that this plugin will conflict with other plugins that register type command, such as Vim extension or Overtype (see #380).
