Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you’re experiencing with the Torizon IDE Extension on your Windows machines. Let’s go through some steps to help resolve these issues:

  1. Verify WSL2 and Docker Setup:

    • Ensure WSL2 is properly installed and configured. You can check this by running wsl --list --verbose in a command prompt to confirm your distributions are running under WSL2.
    • Make sure Docker Desktop is set up to use the WSL2 backend, as this is crucial for integration.

  2. Check VS Code Connection to WSL2:

    • Open a WSL2 terminal and type code . to launch VS Code connected to your WSL2 environment. This ensures VS Code operates within the WSL2 context.
    • Verify that the bottom left corner of VS Code indicates it is connected to WSL2.

  3. Troubleshoot VS Code Hanging:

    • If VS Code hangs, open the Developer Tools by selecting Developer: Toggle Developer Tools from the command palette. Check the Console tab for any error messages that might indicate the cause.

  4. Ensure Torizon Extension Visibility:

    • After connecting to WSL2, ensure the Torizon extension is installed in the WSL2 environment. Check the Extensions view in VS Code while connected to WSL2.

  5. General Troubleshooting:

    • Restart your computer and try the setup process again to ensure all services are running correctly.
    • Ensure your Windows and WSL2 are up to date with the latest updates and patches.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and potentially resolve the issues you’re facing. I hope this helps you get back to developing with Torizon smoothly.
