Not finding mos tool?

[taschmidt]

I'm on Windows 10, trying to use the extension with the latest version of VS Code. I'm unable to do anything with mos and keep getting the error Too old mos tool: "mos ports" failed. Run "mos update latest". I'm sure that I'm on the latest mos tool. I even tried moving it to c:\mos like in the Mongoose docs.

Ideas?

The same problem.
I tried installing VS Code in c:\mos, with the three versions: user, system and portable and still without functions.
Additionally, I have run mos.exe "mos update latest", I actually update "mos ports", restart VS Code and continue with the same problem.
I tried installing previous versions of the plugin "Mongoose OS IDE" inside VS Code and neither
Some clue?

So part of the problem at least on windows is that here when trying to start the child process, mos must be in the workspace directory. My mos application is in my path environment variable and I can run it from any directory via the command prompt. It appears VS Code isn't abiding by the PATH environment variable, or it's a security restriction in VS Code extensions. I'm not sure as I've never attempted to code an extension.

When the mos.exe is in my workspace directory I no longer get the error about Too old mos tool however it doesn't fix the ability to select a port. I am however able to run commands now (I couldn't before) see the screenshot below

Need to edit requirements info for windows users: add mos.exe location to PATH
Also show normal error like “mos tool file not found”

Same issue here. I have downloaded mos.exe to C:\mos\mos.exe per the docs, and added C:\mos to my PATH variable.

Hi fellas! I solved the problem. So here it is: I was having the same error and I included the "c:\mos" to the PATH variable under user variable and system variable both. Its working fine now. Btw its my first time commenting on github :)
