This may be of some use to someone else having this problem where the current solution in this thread does not work. I checked the settings menu under “Build Task” and found it was switched to “Auto Detect - on” which left me at a dead end because I still couldn’t get the project to build. I found this thread and the answer from XSRF. I drilled down to the file he suggested, located at:
Open %user%\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\settings.json
I discovered that this had NO CONTENT! I used Notepad++ to add one entry
{task.autoDetect": “on”
}
and blow me down, it verked!
