codegnuglobal configuration is not available in UserSettings

[matrixjoeq]

I use Visual Studio Code 1.15.1 on Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 (OS Build 15063.540). C++ Intellisense extension is 0.2.2. I'd like to change codegnuglobal.autoupdate to false, but I find there's no codegnuglobal settings at all.

By default it is not there, you can add it manually.

I meet the same problem. The pc is running win7 64 vscode 1.27 (the newest version). I opened developer Tools console error log: it shows use wrong global.exe path, use stange path set( I check my pc , it did not set such path)

Then I want to set setting.json as mentioned , but meet the same problem .

How to hard encode the path in the extension code ?

I found reason . It need to change package.json "contributes": { "configuration": { } } and del other contributes section setting can read the vscode plugin develop get more info . @austin-----

As ragcatshxu has replied. add following to setting.json

"contributes": {
    "configuration": {
    "codegnuglobal.executable": "C:\\GNUGlobal\\usr\\bin\\global.exe",
    "codegnuglobal.autoupdate": false,　
    }
    },

This is caused by a simple bug in the plugin's package.json. Go to Visual Studio Code's extensions folder, open the plugin's package.json and move

"configuration": {
			"type": "object",
			"title": "C++ Intellisense configuration",
			"properties": {
				"codegnuglobal.encoding": {
					"type": "string",
					"default": "",
					"description": "Specify the encoding of the command line output. (Normally it is the code page of Windows non-unicode program if it is not CP437)"
				},
				"codegnuglobal.executable": {
					"type": "string",
					"default": "global",
					"description": "Specify the path to the global executable. (If it is not in PATH already)"
				},
				"codegnuglobal.autoupdate": {
					"type": "boolean",
					"default": true,
					"description": "Specify if global should automatically update the tags on file save. (You should turn it off in the workspace settings for large projects)"
				}
			}
		}

into contributes: {},, so that it looks like this:

"contributes": {
		"configuration": {
			"type": "object",
			"title": "C++ Intellisense configuration",
			"properties": {
				"codegnuglobal.encoding": {
					"type": "string",
					"default": "",
					"description": "Specify the encoding of the command line output. (Normally it is the code page of Windows non-unicode program if it is not CP437)"
				},
				"codegnuglobal.executable": {
					"type": "string",
					"default": "global",
					"description": "Specify the path to the global executable. (If it is not in PATH already)"
				},
				"codegnuglobal.autoupdate": {
					"type": "boolean",
					"default": true,
					"description": "Specify if global should automatically update the tags on file save. (You should turn it off in the workspace settings for large projects)"
				}
			}
		}
	},

You can then change the plugin's settings normally.
