Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
- VS Code Version: 1.85.0
- OS Version: Windows 11 Home, version 23H2 Build 22631.2715
I followed the exact guide in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-msvc#_run-vs-code-outside-the-developer-command-prompt
But my code only works when I start VSC with Developer Command Prompt. When I start VSC from a shortcut, it gives error cl.exe is not recognized.... Even when I modified the task's command. Here's my tasks.json:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"windows": {
"options": {
"shell": {
"executable": "cmd.exe",
"args": [
"/C",
// The path to VsDevCmd.bat depends on the version of Visual Studio you have installed.
"\"C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/BuildTools/Common7/Tools/VsDevCmd.bat\"",
"&&"
]
}
}
},
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C++: cl.exe build active file",
"command": "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/BuildTools/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.38.33130/bin/Hostx86/x86/cl.exe",
"args": [
"/Zi",
"/EHsc",
"/nologo",
"/Fe${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
"${file}"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$msCompile"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"detail": "Task generated by Debugger."
}
]
}
