Playground via Visual Studio Code stoped working

[irishetcher]

Hi,

I used the playground a number of weeks ago but, after a few weeks I noticed that it won't start anymore with the Visual Studio Code extension. I did remove the original WordPress directory that I was using locally and tried a new version, which is now version 6.4. I can't find any documentation on either removing all parts of the install and reinstalling or anything on troubleshooting this.

I include a sreenshot of the error in VIsual Studio.

I see the following errors now:

Warning: require_once(/var/www/html/wp-content/db.php): failed to open stream: No error information in /var/www/html/wp-includes/load.php on line 666

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/var/www/html/wp-content/db.php' (include_path='.:') in /var/www/html/wp-includes/load.php on line 666

In that file on line 666, is there anything I can do here?

I see that it probably relates to this function in the load.php file:

function require_wp_db() {
global $wpdb;

require_once ABSPATH . WPINC . '/class-wpdb.php';

if ( file_exists( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/db.php' ) ) {
	require_once WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/db.php';
}

if ( isset( $wpdb ) ) {
	return;
}

$dbuser     = defined( 'DB_USER' ) ? DB_USER : '';
$dbpassword = defined( 'DB_PASSWORD' ) ? DB_PASSWORD : '';
$dbname     = defined( 'DB_NAME' ) ? DB_NAME : '';
$dbhost     = defined( 'DB_HOST' ) ? DB_HOST : '';

$wpdb = new wpdb( $dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname, $dbhost );

}

I went ahead and transferred this issue to the playground-tools repo where the VS Code extension is maintained. It sounds like the drop-in SQLite integration isn't getting set up properly (that's where the db.php file comes from)
