VS Code Bug fix attempts

Hello Everybody!

Today I tried tackling some VS code bugs on Github.

Visual Studio Code is a open source code editor. From what Microsoft describes vs code it is "new type of tool that combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for their core edit-build-debug cycle."

Specifically I have tried to fix the bug on https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/16834. In this bug I was able to recreate the issue. However after attempting to comb through the code to find the source of the problem, we could not figure out where it was occurring.

Another bug that we attempted to look into was https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/36219. This issue gave us some problems because we were unable to reproduce the bug. So we decided to move on to the next bug.

The next bug we worked on is https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/42720. In this issue we tried to reproduce it however, we weren't able to reproduce it. As it seems it has already been resolved. After that we worked on the next bug.

The last bug we tried to look into is https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/43302. In this bug again we were not able to reproduce the issue due to not having the option of opening up the .bat file with code.

As I am still new to trying to fix issues and bugs on Github. I apologize if I made some mistakes in attempting reproduce and solve the issues properly.

Please leave some feedback so I can improve the blog and grow the community for the blog!

Thank you

Kevin.

Electron

An interesting Open Source project I found is Electron. Electron is a framework that allows you to write cross-platform desktop applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Looking into the project I found that many popular applications were made from using the framework. Some are Discord, Slack, Visual Studio Code and Github Desktop.

Electron

Electron started around April 2013
Primarily coded in C++ with some JavaScript, Objective-C and some other languages.
There are currently 833 open issues
Currently has 721 contributors.
