I was using VS Code for a couple hours. I exited to clean up some files in Windows File Explorer; I deleted some tutorial files. I check git status to see if they still showed up (they didn’t); however I saw some files that had changes that had not been committed in git. When I opened those files in VS Code and tried to view them with Live Server, the option didn’t appear when I right-clicked in the VS Code active window; the option had disappeared.
I tried clearing VS Code, stopping the app and reloading it. Now I cannot get Live Server to work at all. The list of extensions (chosen from the left vertical menu) shows the extension as installed, but I cannot invoke it and it doesn’t show in the menu list when I right-click in the active window. I tried invoking the command palette to see if it was in the list there; it was not.
I did nothing overtly to disable or remove Live Server. I have no clue why it worked then a few minutes later it had disappeared and could not be seen again.
I’ve searched and found some hits but they all referenced other problems with solution that, when tried, didn’t work.
UPDATE:
I was able to find and reinstall the extension, Live Server, and it now appears in the menu invoked by right clicking in the active window.
I have no clue why Live Server extension disappeared while others, such as Colorful Comments, did not.
