Microsoft has built a new lightweight IDE Visual Studio Code. Actually VS Code has nothing in common with their traditional full-featured IDE Visual Studio. It’s more like an enhanced Code Editor like the Atom Editor or vim. VS Code is developed with pure JavaScript and it’s based an Electron (UI-Framework) and Node.js.
If you’re using VS Code from within a companies network und you probably may want to install plugins from the Internet, you have to set the proxy settings first. Because VS Code is built for cross-plattform-ability it isn’t aware of the Windows IE proxy settings.
Please open File -> Preferences -> Settings
Add these two lines to the settings.json:
// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
"http.proxy": "https://proxy.contoso.com",
"http.proxyStrictSSL": false
}
