Troubleshooting 🐛

  • Info "No workspace folder is open.": The extension did not detect any workspace folders. Open a project folder and try again.
  • Warning "stderr: ...": Usually occurs if you try to use this extension on a Windows OS or other operating systems. .DS_Store files are ideally found on the MacOS, so this extension was not built with support for other platforms.
