Trying to save a project when no folder is open gives confusing message

[nicktimko]

I lazily did a code in a folder that I didn't have saved maybe thinking it'd be like code . then when trying to quickly save that project, I got the confusing error

Running the contributed command:'projectManager.saveProject' failed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a VSCode window with no folders open
2. Open control palette and try to "Save Project"
3. VSCode emits warning

Expected behavior

Warn the user "Hey idiot, you don't have a folder open" or something more friendly. The VSCode warning started making me check if things were up to date...

Details

• VSCode 1.23.1
• Ubuntu 16.04
• VSPM: 0.25.2

Hi @nicktimko ,

Warn the user "Hey idiot, you don't have a folder open" or something more friendly. The VSCode warning started making me check if things were up to date...

I'm going for the friendly message 😆 .

Thanks for reporting

It looks like this check and prompt has been removed in a later version?
Had some code open and tried to save a project with 12.7, without having a folder open and got "Error running command projectManager.saveProject.. something about property of undefined".
Updated VSC to 1.77.3 and now there's no prompt or error.

Hi @BlueTalon6 ,

I could reproduce the issue. Really weird this is not working anymore, as the source responsible for it is not changed for a while.

This should be fixed in the next release

Thanks for reporting.
