Problem for python course lecture 9 running python code

bought the subscription, but it has taken a whole day just to figure out code editor,
anyway this is what is did…
type .json on the search bar and you will get an option
Workbench › Settings: Use Split JSON

Controls whether to use the split JSON editor when editing settings as JSON.
hope it help…

type code-runner.exe


then change python -u to python 3. it took me awhile to figure it out. I even uninstalled it and reinstall but couldn’t find those 3 dots. I guess he was using an older version.

comma then type “code-runner.showExecutionMessage”: false

Thanks, got it… :+1:t3: :+1:t3: :+1:t3:

How do i find this file?.. when i go to settings and search “code-runner.exe” nothing at all comes up… i installed it… how are you guys finding this mysterious json file that has the executorMap in it?

EDIT: So this is crazy… I kept going back to the extension tab and under the Code-Runner app, you see the gear icon. I would choose extension settings (as various git hub threads referred to that), but nothing would show up in the settings area… so I uninstalled Code-Runner for the heck of it… THEN, I installed it again, BUT, first there was an option to choose older versions… I figured well Mosh did this in 2018, so I chose a version of Code-Runner that was two years old… I installed, THEN chose gear icon and BOOM, the json garbage popped up and I successfully edited the executor map trash… AMAZING… I wonder if I can get a job yet… :smiley:

LOL, awesome. it is all about trial and error as long as you get the solution.

Mine shows something different :upside_down_face:

type code-runner.exe with a dash not an underscore. Not code_runner.exe

i get the same thing if i type code_runner.exe

but if you use a dash code-runner.exe you should see the settings.json

Problem solved! You are an :angel:t2:



this is exactly what I get when I try to change the settings, please can anyone help me as I’ve been stuck for days now
