Summary

Troubleshooting.md#logs says following is the log location:

Logs are located at ~/.vscode[-insiders]/extensions/ms-vscode.powershell[-preview]-/logs. For example: ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.powershell-2019.5.1/logs

I found no logs directory at this location (%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-2023.6.0 in my scenario).

I then ran the PowerShell: Open PowerShell Extension Logs Folder command, and found that logs are located at:

  • %APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\ms-vscode.powershell\logs\<new_directory_for_each_session\

Oh yeah I think they were moved to a VS Code provided location for extension storage...
