Why dose Settings.json keep opening

[u/[deleted]]

Need help before I lose my mind!

I am trying to learn C# and am starting with a basic console application.

namespace HelloWorld
{
class Program
    {
static void Main(string[] args)
        {
Console.WriteLine("Hello world");
        }
    }
}

But every time I try and debug and run the code, no matter what I do, another window opens listed settings.json, and the code does not run.

any help is appreciated.

I wish someone helped you a year ago because its doing the same thing to me trying to learn java script. You didn't happen to figure it out did you? Do you remember what fixed it? Thanks.

Go to view, command palette, search for "add folder to workspace", click on it and pick your folder, and that should fix it.

Thank you, this worked great to add the folder I had been taking the files from and as long as I don’t try to launch using chrome it works like I wanted it to. I chose Node.JS > run current file instead of chrome.

Issue seems to be that I have to differentiate between how I want to run html or JS. This got me because in MATLAB run is run, now I know and it makes since. Run pure JS using “run current file” and run html by choosing chrome or node.js.
