Version-Related Issues

Thank you for bringing up the IDE version issue. There have been documented problems with certain versions of the Torizon IDE Extension that can cause permission and execution errors(1).

Known Version Issues

The community has reported specific problems with newer versions of the Torizon IDE Extension, particularly around script execution and permission handling(1). Some users have found success by reverting to earlier versions when encountering these types of issues.

Checking Your Extension Version

To check your current Torizon IDE Extension version:

  1. Open VS Code
  2. Go to the Extensions panel (Ctrl+Shift+X)
  3. Search for “Torizon”
  4. Check the version number displayed

Alternative Solutions

If downgrading the extension version resolves the permission issues, you can also try:

Template Version Management

You can control which template versions to use by configuring the extension settings(2):

  • torizon.templatesTag: Controls which template version to fetch
  • torizon.templatesBranch: Specifies the branch for templates

For example, in your .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "torizon.templatesTag": "v2.8.1",
  "torizon.templatesBranch": "bookworm"
}

Environment Validation

The extension includes built-in environment validation that can help identify compatibility issues between different versions(3). When creating or opening projects, ensure you run the dependency check to verify your environment is properly configured.

This version-specific approach might be more targeted than the general permission fixes I mentioned earlier, especially if the issues started appearing after an extension update.
