Why does CodeRunner not recognize my path in VS Code? Using WSL

470 views Asked by At

I'm brand new to programming and I'm getting my environment set up. I'm using CodeRunner on VS Code to get my javascript outputs. In each output though, I'm getting a frustrating error:

\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\a\prep-work\Javascript\Udemy\JS3_Conditional
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory. 

I couldn't find any answers on the related CodeRunner Github. I'm pretty sure it's some error with path naming but a few hours of searching and playing with CodeRunner settings have me ready to give up. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

The eventual fix with this had to do with the fact that I edited some path in my BIOS - if anyone else gets this error, please undo any modifications you made there, restart and try again!
