command p5-server.explorer.createSketch not found

[lorenzo-leuck]

Wonderful extension! Unfortenely it is not working. It gives this error "command p5-server.explorer.createSketch not found".
How can we fix it?

Thank you for your encouragement, and thank you for the bug report!

What version of Visual Studio Code are you running?

And, what did you do to create the sketch? For example, "In the P5.js sketch explorer, clicked on the Create Sketch icon", or "in the P5.js sketch explorer, selected 'Create sketch (HTML + JavaScript)' from the ellipsis menu".

[I just tried both of these with the latest version, but I don't know whether I am trying the same thing that you did and it's behaving differently on my computer than yours, or whether you're using a different way to create a sketch, that I've forgotten to test…]

Hello, I'm having the same issue as described here

The error message happens whether I click on the Create Sketch icon in the P5.js sketch explorer, or I selected 'Create sketch (HTML + JavaScript)' from the ellipsis menu in the P5.js sketch explorer.

Any news on this?

Same problem here

@lorenzo-leuck @grybouilli @luckasRanarison Thank you for your bug reports, and for your patience. I have not yet reproduced this.

Here is a screencast of the steps that I am taking to try to reproduce the issue.

This screencast is using a fresh install of the extension, in a new Visual Studio Code Profile that doesn't have any other extensions installed, or any changes from the default settings. I see similar results in my Default profile, which has a number of extensions and configuration changes.

Please let me know if you see a difference between the steps that work for me, and the steps that fail for you.

If these steps are the same, another possibility is that there's a conflict between this extension and some other extension that is popular, but that I'm not running.

I just noticed the "Actual command not found, wanted to execute p5-server.explorer…" alert that appears in the preceding comment's screencast. This is different from the reported error, and doesn't prevent the command from functioning, but it does give me something to look at.

It would still be helpful to know if the steps that I'm using to try to reproduce the problem are different from the steps that you all are taking when you encounter it.

Thank you for looking into thus issue. Here is how I get the errors:

same issue. The commands do not work.

Additionally, sketch explorer says

but doesn't change.

I am using WSL, & my folders and files were created before installing your extension, if that makes a difference.

Thanks everyone for your patience. I just finished up another project; planning to look at this next.
