vscode_deno: Cannot find name 'Deno'

I did Ctrl+Shift+P -> Initialize Workspace Configuration, which created me .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "deno.enable": true,
  "deno.lint": true,
  "deno.unstable": false
}

And tried restarting Language Server, and restarted VSCode, but still… Nothing helps, the problem occurs:

vscode-deno: v3.7.0 deno 1.11.5 (release, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc) v8 9.1.269.35 typescript 4.3.2 GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)

P.S. I now temporarily use the deprecated justjavac.vscode-deno instead, - it seems to be working. Might get back to denoland.vscode-deno as soon as this issue is resolved!

@kitsonk yes!

After what you’ve said, I remembered VSCode has such an experimental feature:

"typescript.tsserver.experimental.enableProjectDiagnostics": true

It is one cool feature making your “Problems” tab to show errors/warnings all around the whole project, instead of just open files.

But unfortunatelly It’s currently hugely bugged, because sometimes it unexpectedly goes into sources of libraries, rather than just project code. I tried disabling this setting, and yes, - now Deno extension works:

I guess since it’s narrowed down, we can close this issue, in a hope that these two issues will get resolved sometime:

I just found a solution for me. I had the Volar extension installed which somehow must have conflicted with the Deno language server. How didn’t I think of disabling other extensions.

Previously, I had to disable the built-in Typescript language server and manually restart the deno language server as a workaround.

I didn’t see anywhere that Deno extension requires WSL because of some linux dependencies or that only WSL is supported mentioned anywhere

It doesn’t, I am just trying to figure out what is different about your environment.

Actually, I have been using powershell instead of GNU bash on my windows VM. I will try that and see if it causes problems.
