Hello Ahmed,

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with missing templates when creating a new Torizon project in Visual Studio Code. Let’s try a few steps to resolve this:

  1. Ensure the Torizon Extension is Installed: First, check that the Torizon extension for Visual Studio Code is installed and up-to-date. You can do this by going to the Extensions view in Visual Studio Code and searching for “Torizon”. If it’s not installed, you can add it from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

  2. Check for Updates: If the extension is already installed, make sure it’s the latest version. Updates often include new templates or fixes for issues related to template availability.

  3. Restart Visual Studio Code: After installing or updating the extension, restart Visual Studio Code to ensure all changes take effect.

  4. Use the Command Palette: Open the Command Palette in Visual Studio Code (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS) and type “Torizon/C-C++: Create C/C++ application”. This should start the process to create a new Torizon project and show you the available templates.

  5. Check Docker Configuration: Make sure Docker is running on your system, as the Torizon extension relies on Docker to set up the development environment. If Docker isn’t running, start it and try creating a new project again.

  6. Verify Internet Connection: The extension might need to download additional resources or templates from the internet. Ensure your internet connection is stable.

I hope these steps help you get the templates you need. If the issue persists, there might be a deeper configuration problem with Visual Studio Code or the Torizon extension.
