Hello,

I recently upgraded my WAPT.

I now develop my packages using VS Code.

When I run "WAPT - Build Package", it doesn't work. I switched from PyScripter to VS Code thinking it was due to my Python version, but the problem persists. I get the error

"ERROR: Unknown action build-package".

I thought I saw on the forum that package editing is now only done from the console?

Thank you.

Server OS: Windows Server 2022
Admin Machine OS: Windows 10 22H2
WAPT Version: 2.6.0.16937

Yes, absolutely, to avoid "context" problems, the build is now done entirely through the console.

How can I create empty packages? Whenever I try to create an empty package, I'm redirected to VS Code to edit the build.

Second question:

Is it possible to disable VS Code or Python from launching when I click "Edit Package Basket"?

Thank you.

When you create (or edit) a package, the console creates an empty shell and launches the code editor specified in the console preferences (

pyscripter, vscode, or another)

If you don't want to use an editor and you place C:\Windows\explorere.exe in its place, it should simply open a file explorer window to the location of the shell.
