  1. Become to File > Preference > Settings then
  2. blazon: run lawmaking and scroll downwards until you lot encounter code-runner: Run in final , There will be multiple options called "code-runner". In that you can find the option mentioned below.
  3. just check "Whether to run code in integrated terminal" and
  4. restart vscode.

For Mac users, it is Code > Preference > Settings.

  1. Go to extensions (Ctrl + Shift + X)
  2. Find lawmaking runner and click on the settings icon on bottom right of the code runner
  3. Click configure extensions settings
  4. Detect code_runner: Run in terminal

You lot are in the "Output" tab instead of the Terminal. The output tab is actually merely for y'all to read from.

enter image description here

Press F5 to brainstorm Debugging and information technology'll bring you into the Terminal tab.

The final is interactive, and so you lot tin can read output AND blazon back. It is indeed a console prompt/ final (hence its proper name).

I received this fault during a code compare with previous version and it wasn't letting me edit the electric current version in the Correct-Window. Unrelated to what I doubtable OP's event but this was the offset thread that came up for my search and the error was the aforementioned. anyway...

My issue was that the particular file was 'Staged' in my source control at the time. This appears to restrict editing by opening an 'index' version for the compare.

Solution: Un-stage the file, and reopen the comparative window.

The easiest way to fix this was to printing (CTRL) and (,) in VS Lawmaking to open Settings.

After that, on the search bar search for lawmaking runner, then coil down and search for Run In Terminal and bank check that box as highlighted in the beneath image:

Had the same problem. Here's what I did & it got me the results I wanted.

  1. Go to the Last of Visual studio code.
  2. Cd to the directory of the file that has the code you wrote and ran. Let's call the program " xx.cpp "
  3. Type g++ xx.cpp -o a.out (creates an executable)
  4. To run your programme, type ./a.out

I received the same error similar @jgritten. But like the comment before me by @jgritten, I 'unstaged' and reopened vscode and the files. Now I 'staged' information technology again. The error "Cannot edit in read-only editor" didnt come.

Hope this reassures anyone who might have similar error afterwards staging the file using git in vscode.

I was experiencing this effect while using the SFTP extension in VSCode. In this case, all you have to do is correct-click somewhere in the file and select 'edit in local'

If your code takes input from a user y'all can't only use output tab. You lot have to use any last equally Hashemite kingdom of jordan Stefanelli have said.

  1. just become to last tab and select powershell or default terminal
  2. type python Nameoffile.py
  3. you will be able to input

I had the Cannot edit in read-only editor fault when trying to edit lawmaking after stopping the debug mode (for 2-3 minutes afterward pressing Shift+F5).

Turns out the default Node version (v9.11.1) wasn't exiting gracefully, leaving VScode stuck on read-merely.
Only adding "runtimeVersion": "12.4.0" to my launch.json file stock-still information technology.

alternatively, change your default Node version to the latest stable version (you can run across the current version on the DEBUG Console when starting debug mode).

Every bit the @Jordan Stefanelli answer: If you encounter the same problem as me that the integrated Terminal cannot read input from user as beneath hanging (env. Windows 10)

enter image description here

my solution was to supplant cygwin's gdb and g ++ with mingw64'south.

then the input output are normal

enter image description here besides you lot can enable "external panel" option to solve it:)

you can modify information technology by enabling "externalConsole":true in the launch.json then you will become a popular upwards console window that you can type in.

Short Answer: Subsequently installing "Code Runner" extension, you only have to right-click the selected part of code you wish to execute and see it in the Output Tab.

answered Nov 23, 2020 at 14:nineteen

Click on the file and hover on Preferences. there you volition find the first choice as Settings and click on that. There search run code. and scroll and find the option code runner: Run in Terminal. now check the option below it

I had the same trouble, even though i enable the lawmaking runner to true, i was not still able to get my vsc terminal run. The quick prepare was that mentioned by @Jordan Stefanelli. I add to my setting.json in the launch section "externalConsole":truthful, 

                "launch": {           "externalConsole":true,     "configurations": [],     "compounds": [] }

Here's the piece of cake mode: Higher up your mistake "cannot edit in read-simply editor" there volition be a path to your cpp lawmaking file, it might wait something similar this if you are running on Linux:

                cd "/home/jacksparrow/Documents/projects/" && g++ exams.cpp -o exams && "/domicile/jacksparrow/Documents/projects/"exams

and then all you have to do is "re-create(ctrl+shift+C) that path address and paste(ctrl+shift+V) it in the concluding window and printing enter" right adjacent to your output and debug console window. This worked for me, hope information technology does for yous also.

In VS Code, install code runner. When running your file please specify how yous want to run the file, in the output window or concluding. For a better feel brand sure y'all have selected the concluding.
