VS Code don't open as editor for Python scripts

[Anonymous]

I'll to make a Python script in Power BI as data source. That script I want to write in VS Code (Visual Studio Code). The default app for .py files is VS Code and at the settings of Power BI under "Python scripting", I've selected "Default OS program for .PY files".

But everythime I'll to create a Python script, this window occure instead of VS Code.

I'm also not able to open VS Code on another way. I've added the path to VS Code, in the hope it would work, but it didn't...

I'll use VS Code 'cause you've syntax highlighting and error messages etc.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Have you read the guide docuement about running python script in Power BI Desktop?

Please refer to the steps in this document which gives an example for Visual Studio Code.

By default, Power BI Desktop will launch Visual Studio Code as the external Python IDE if it's installed on your local computer; if Visual Studio Code is not installed and you have Visual Studio, that will be launched instead. If neither of those Python IDEs is installed, the application associated with .PY files is launched.

Based on your screenshots, it seems that you may not install the Visual Studio Code as the external Python IDE on your local device.

Another reference: Use an external Python IDE with Power BI

Best  Regards,

Cherry

@v-piga-msft: The option Visual Studio Code doesn't appear at the "Detected Python IDEs".

This Python IDEs I've installed:

• VS Code (OS default application for .py files)
• VS Code Insiders
• VS 2017
• VS 2019
• Notepad++
