Vscode live share download files

Rebooting was the only real option. VS will still collect logs that can the engineering team can use to investigate along slide Watson data, improving the chances and speed of resolving these issues. Open a somewhat large solution, edit some documents then close them, and even the whole solution, you will notice the memory consumption increased.

By using WinDbg, you can see that some WpfTextView instances were not released even if all code editor windows have been closed.

Details in my another reply around here. Firstly I thought it was a problem of my extension, and tracked it down with WinDbg. After fixing all possible memory leak points, I found that the leak persisted. Then I fresh-installed a VS and saw that memory increased as we open-edit-close documents. In the issue tracking of my extension, I wrote down something with WinDbg. It was not absolutely the problem of VS, maybe it was caused by the WPF framework and lasted for years!

The bug was reported in August this year by another user and I had added my findings there too. Just a short question: will there be a perpetual standalone-license for the professional edition of VS ?

Thanks Valleeefar. Yes, a standalone version of VS Professional will be available in the coming weeks. Even for my private coding, I prefer the professional version to the community edition.

That is great news. I understand that Microsoft wants to force us into subscriptions, but it would still be great if this were mentioned somewhere in the pricing information. After I brought it up with them, 2h later the link was changed from to and a few hours later removed. It was the same behavior of microsoft 2 yrs ago when releasing VS The standalone pro version was released weeks later because of programmer complaints.

Sad but true. I expect MS behavior will become even more disrespectful at their next release of VS. No need for Visual Studio. That functionality is provided out of band as extensions from the SSDT team. Hi Matt O. I am excited about a lot about VS But am also disappointed. With a clean install on Windows 10, using the Maui template fails to build regardless of the target. If you're not already familiar with Visual Studio Live Share, refer here for more information.

This extension pack includes everything you need to start collaboratively editing and debugging in real time, including integrated audio and text chat. Open your project, then click the Live Share button in your status bar to start a new collaboration session.

You'll be asked to login with your GitHub or Microsoft account the first time, which simply allows other developers to identify you. Refer to the Live Share quickstart for more details.

Security tip: Because all participants can independently go to and edit files, as a host, you might want to restrict which files guests are able to access in your project via a. As a guest, you should realize that you might not see certain files as a result of these settings. For more information, see Controlling file access and visibility.

By default, Visual Studio Live Share automatically displays a flag next to a participant's cursor on hover or when the participant makes edits, highlights something, or moves the cursor. In some cases, you might want to change this behavior. To change the behavior, open settings. To quickly see who's in the collaboration session, look at the participants list on the Live Share Explorer tab or on the VS Live Share tab:.

A list of all participants in the session will appear. The behavior here differs from that of the pushpin button. This list appears even if there's only one other person in the session with you, so you can always quickly see where someone else is located. As with the pushpin button, you can pick participants in the list to follow them. Select Esc if you want to exit instead.

Sometimes you need to explain a problem or design that spans multiple files or locations in code. In these situations, it can be useful to temporarily follow your colleagues as they move throughout a project.

For this reason, when you join a collaboration session, you'll automatically follow the host. When you're following someone, your editor will stay in sync with that person's currently open file and scroll position.

By default, Live Share shares opened files that are outside of the shared folder. If you want to change this behavior, change liveshare. You might sometimes want everyone in a collaboration session to take a look at something you're doing. Live Share lets you ask that everyone focus their attention on you with a notification that makes it easy for them to follow you.

Everyone in the collaboration session will get a notification that you've requested their attention:. They can then select Follow in the notification when they're ready to focus on your actions. To start following a participant as either a host or a guest , select the participant's name in the participants list on the Live Share Explorer tab or on the VS Live Share tab. The circle next to the name will become solid to indicate that you're following them:.

If more than one other person is in the collaboration session, you'll be prompted to select the participant who you want to follow:. Because following is linked to an editor group, you can use split view or grid layout to create a group that's following a participant and a group that's not. This layout allows you to passively follow someone while also working on something independently. When you have an editor group selected, you can select a participant in the participants list to have the group follow the participant.

To make it easy to switch out of follow mode and start editing on your own, you'll automatically stop following if one of these actions occurs:. The Visual Studio Live Share collaborative debugging feature is a powerful way to debug a problem. It enables a collaborative experience to troubleshoot problems. It also gives you and other participants in your session the ability to investigate problems that might be environment specific by providing a shared debugging session on the host's computer.

Security tip: Because participants can independently go to and edit files, as a host, you might want to restrict which files guests are able to access in your project via a.

Guests should realize that, because of restrictive settings, they might not be able to follow the debugger as it steps into certain restricted files. Be sure the host and all guests have the appropriate debugging extension installed. Installation isn't always necessary, but it's generally a good idea. The host, if not already set up for the project, should configure launch. No special setup is required. You can also participate in Visual Studio debugging sessions from Visual Studio Code, and vice versa.

For more information, see the Visual Studio instructions for co-debugging. When the debugger attaches on the host's side, all guests are also automatically attached. There's one debugging session running on the host's computer, but all participants are connected to it and have their own view:.

Anyone can step through the debugging process, so you can switch among collaborators without having to negotiate control. See Platform support for information about debugging feature support by language or platform. Each collaborator can investigate variables, go to various files in the call stack, inspect variables, and even add or remove breakpoints.

Co-editing features allow each participant to track where the others are located so they can switch between concurrently investigating aspects of the problem and collaboratively debugging. In a read-only collaboration session, guests won't be able to step through the debugging process. They can add or remove breakpoints and inspect variables. By default, as a guest, you'll be automatically attached to debugging sessions when they're shared by the host.

You might find this behavior disruptive. To change this behavior, open settings. As a guest, you might want to stop debugging temporarily. You can select the Stop button on the debug toolbar to detach the debugger without affecting the host or other guests:. But if you're joining a collaboration session from a Visual Studio host, you might automatically see your default browser appear when debugging starts. The browser is then automatically connected to the host's running applications.

For more information, see Visual Studio features. As a host, you can achieve something similar by manually sharing the application, or other endpoints like RESTful services, by using the Share Local Server feature. Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code guests can then open a browser on the same localhost port to see the running application.

You could share a writeable terminal and let everyone build and run the console app as needed. In the beginning, I thought live share is like the sharing in Microsoft office, all users have local copies, and automatically sync, there is no a hoster, we don't need to work at same time. Something like overleaf. That's most useful.

I'd also like this feature. My usecase: I have a laptop at which I mainly code and a faster computer which got to run my Julia programs. Thus, while coding on my laptop I want the same code to run on the other computer. And all changes even those while running shall end at the other computer aswell. We are Using Lifeshare to collab on communicating sequential processes csp files. The interpreter needs the file locally. Also very usefull for pair programming where the static on the fly code analysis tools need the file.

I agree this would be very useful. I'm trying to make a chrome extension and others can't test the extension live with me, as they don't have the updated files. I would like both the guest and the host to be able to run the app locally on their machines.

Otherwise, we are limited to only having a single person debug the app. I'm with garrrettt here, for me the use case is giving workshops through live share, where participants should be able to run the Java code rather than only watching me do it.

So a button or some kind of hook that saves all files temporarily on their local filesystem would be very welcome, since then the participant can execute the Java code on their end. If you're only looking for participants to be able to run the code you've written, you can give your participants access to the terminal to enable them to do it.

Though, I do understand this would still be incomplete as the code would actually be running on your machine regardless, and if it is an application that isn't server based, it will probably only run on your machine, and the other participants would still have to watch you. I understand what I said is probably not what you meant, however, I just wanted to say.

Enscivwy especially as I understand him, this wouldn't work, since at each time only a single person can use it, not every participant. I would also like to vouch for a feature like this to be implemented. However, as stated above, only one person gets to keep the local files afterwards. This leaves the other partner without the ability to save to their file system.

This makes it difficult for when we self-study since one of us can't refer back to the lesson. In some sense this is a clean request to also keep the files in sync rather than only the editor content. For the non-git variant one could offer a prediction of how many files match to find the right entry point and then keep the files in sync. Hey all! This is now resolved, thanks to an enhancement in VS Code.

As you edit you can see your classmate's cursor, jump to the same location, and follow their actions. You can also debug together using VS Code's debugging features, like hovers, locals and watches, the stack trace or the debug console.

You are both able to set breakpoints and advance the debug cursor to step through the session.
