VS Code integrated terminal issue

Question

My VS Code integrated terminal is only toggling up for a second then disappearing with the command Ctrl+`(Tried to change it - still not working :)), showing the Integrated terminal exited with code 1 error.

Any ideas for fixing it?

Answer 1

I had the same problem on Windows 10. The problem was that I had VSCode running in compatibility mode (Windows 8). If that is that case for you, just uncheck "Run this program in compatibility mode for" checkbox in Compatibility tab of the VSCode properties, click in OK and restart VSCode.

I had the same problem just a few minutes ago, in my case this error was a path consequence, my windows user folder has an accent (c:/users/josé /..) , so, just try to move your project into another folder, like "C:/projects".

Answer 3

Current Solution is using a none-English named Folder as project Folder.

Here is my research:

default value "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe"

Following is the debug info in VScode:

terminalInstance.ts:55 Integrated terminal exited with code 1

(anonymous function) @ terminalInstance.ts:55

emitTwo @ events.js:100

emit @ events.js:185

ChildProcess._handle.onexit @ internal/child_process.js:204

Following is debug info in Atom:

C:\Users\mzvast\AppData\Local\atom\app-1.9.1\resources\app.asar\src\task.js:52

The win32 error code 267 seem to be,according to microsoft:

ERROR_DIRECTORY
267 (0x10B)
The directory name is invalid.

just uncheck "Run this program in compatibility mode for" checkbox in Compatibility tab of the VSCode properties, click in OK and apply and restart VSCode.
