FineCode for VS Code
FineCode for VS Code connects VS Code to your FineCode workspace so diagnostics, code actions, and action execution come from the same FineCode configuration you use in CLI/CI.
What This Extension Provides
- Diagnostics from FineCode LSP
- Code formatting
- Code actions / quick fixes from FineCode handlers
- FineCode action explorer in the Activity Bar
Requirements
- VS Code
1.105+
- A workspace with FineCode already set up
For FineCode installation, presets, and environment preparation, use the official docs:
The extension expects FineCode in:
.venvs/dev_workspace/bin/python (Linux/macOS)
Quick Start
- Set up FineCode in your project using:
- Ensure
.venvs/dev_workspace exists and prepare-envs has been run.
- Open the project folder in VS Code.
- The extension starts FineCode LSP automatically.
How It Works
On activation, the extension locates .venvs/dev_workspace/bin/python in the workspace and starts:
<workspace>/.venvs/dev_workspace/bin/python -m finecode.cli start-lsp --trace
FineCode behavior is controlled by your FineCode config (pyproject.toml, presets, env vars, CLI overrides), not by per-project VS Code extension config.
Commands
FineCode: Reload (finecode.refreshActions)FineCode: Restart Workspace Manager (finecode.restartWorkspaceManager)FineCode Actions (finecode.showEditorActions)

Troubleshooting
No dev_workspace found
If you see logs about missing dev_workspace, verify:
ls .venvs/dev_workspace/bin/python
If missing, complete FineCode setup from:
No diagnostics or actions
- Confirm FineCode actions are configured in your workspace
- Confirm file language is Python
- Open output channel Finecode LSP Server and check startup/runtime logs
