Unable to edit configuration files in Marlin

96 Views Asked by At

I have succesfully been using VS Code for a few months to edit configuration files in Marlin. However, I now find I cannot edit code at all, and I don't understand why. I have tried reinstalling VS Code, but no change. As a work around, I have used Arduino IDE to edit the files, then because I have a 32 bit controller (SKR 1.4 Turbo), I used VS Code to build. Can anyone tell me what might be preventing me from using VS Code as an editor?

This can be because you project located at path, where VScode don't have permissions to edit files (for example somewhere at C:\Program Files\Arduino). To fix this you can move your marlin project to "neutral waters" like your Documents folder or (not suggested) launch VScode with admin rights (right click on vscode shortcut -> Run as administrator)
