outline view in vscode not available

Question

Started using vscode 1.64.2 on windows 10 occasionally for a while.

Just now, when I tried to work with workspace on local windows 10 machine, the outline view is missing, and no where I can find it or open.

I've moved the outline view to the right size bar when working with workspace on a remote linux host a while ago; and it still works fine.

If I open the two workspaces side-by-side, the outline view is there in the vscode for the remote workspace; it's just not available for local workspace.

How can I get the outline view for local workspace?

Answer 1

I had the same issue with 1.72.2. I found leaving the explorer window open for a while fixed the issue. I believe it is just a slow backend process that doesn't notify the user it is running.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. Select "View" from the Main Menu in VSCode, then "Open view..." and then you can find the Outline view.
