Why Do Java Files Not Run If I don't have a folder open in VSCode

[ghost]

I am new to Java, and wanted to get started in VSCode. I ran my first Java file only to see that the terminal didn't open. Like it had the little run thingy on the top but the terminal didn't open and I couldn't see my file working.

I had happened to my .java file in some folder than uploaded that to VSCode, then ran that and that worked. Then I tried to run a .java file in VSCode even if it wasn't in the uploaded file, and that worked too. But when I close the uploaded folder and try to run the .java file and yeah it didn't work. Help please?

The code is something really simple. Like this for example.

public class stuff {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("this is a test lol");
    }
}

Environment

• Operating System: Windows
• JDK version: 17.0.1
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.62.3

Duplicates with #2231, there is a regression about single file support (no folder opened in VS Code).

The CI build https://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/jdt.ls/staging/java-1.2.0-470.vsix has fixed it, you can install from vsix.

Another workaround is to open a folder containing your Java files on VS Code.

Closing as the duplicate issue was addressed. Should be fixed in 1.2.0.
