Fresh VSCode install: Impossible to download and use settings #1108

ivnnv posted onGitHub

šŸ› Describe the bug
Cant connect to github account for download gist and sync.

  • The extension continously prompts you to visit this page http://shanalikhan.github.io/2017/02/19/Option-to-ignore-settings-folders-code-settings-sync.html which is a 404. You are also being prompted to go to that page even if you try to copy an old ~/.vscode folder from your other computer to get everything working "the hard way". The extension keeps notifying about a syncLocalSettings.json.

syncLocalSettings json

Seems like the extension is not saving properly the token after you set it on the configuration screen.

šŸŒ“ Visual Studio Code Version : [ 1.41.1 ] šŸŒ“ Code Settings Sync Version : [ 3.4.3 ] šŸŒ“ Operating System : [ MacOS Catalina (10.15.2) ] šŸŒ“ Occurs On: [ Install / Configuring / Download ]

Got it working after manually add the github token into: /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/syncLocalSettings.json

Maybe It is only a macOS (or *nix) specific problem because of the user config location?

Ah, I got it to work using ivnnv's answer, the token can be generated in Settings Developer / settings / Personal access tokens. I think it only needs gist rights. Then add this token in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/syncLocalSettings.json.
