F# activity is always added to the activity bar

[inosik]

For now, I'd prefer to use the project explorer in the explorer activity, but even when setting "FSharp.showProjectExplorerIn": "explorer", the activity is added to the activity bar. I have also set "FSharp.codeOutline": false, because I use another extension for code outlines, but even with "FSharp.showCodeOutlineIn": "explorer", the F# activity is always added.

Yes, there is no way to remove them in code, it must be done manually. Right click on the activity bar and uncheck F# vscode will remember your preference.

Suggestions on how vscode could solve this are tracked by the following issues in vscode repo :

• Suggestion: Support when for viewContainers contribution microsoft/vscode#48704
• View containers in activity bar are still visible if there is no view inside microsoft/vscode#49145

Having the same problem here, I tried this

"FSharp.enableTreeView": false,
"FSharp.codeOutline": false,

but did not work

@mrkaspa :

Set

"FSharp.showCodeOutlineIn": "explorer",
"FSharp.showProjectExplorerIn": "explorer"

In settings then reload the window, right click on the F# icon on the left and select "Hide".

@vbfox it works the first time then I tried another project and made "code ." inside the folder through the cmd and the fsharp icon came back again, I have to this on each project I have

@mrkaspa I re-tested it and it works for me, I had a single vscode instance, changed the activity to hidden and closed vscode. Now whenever I start it via the command line or the shell it's kept hidden.

If you it doesn't work for you it might be a vscode bug, maybe raise it on their repo.

@vbfox seems to work after updating the vscode
