VS Code not able to detect python files

[amalthomas-exe]

Issue Type: Bug

Whenever I create a python file, it automatically goes to the binary mode. I manually have to select the language mode.

Pls fix this ASAP !!

As you can see here, after creating a python file, I manually have to select the language mode before working on it.

Please resolve this ASAP as this is seriously affecting my workflow.

PS: This issue is there for python only ig.

[gjsjohnmurray]

What version of Python have you installed on your Windows workstation?

[amalthomas-exe]

Its Python 3.8 and it's a Linux machine

Any update on this issue 🤔🤔

[TylerLeonhardt]

I’m suspicious of an extension causing this behavior. Can you open the Command Palette (⌘/Ctrl+Shift+P) and run the extension bisect command: Help: Start Extension Bisect and follow the prompts? (More information about Extension Bisect here)

[TylerLeonhardt]

I'm also suspicious of the files.associations user setting. Can you double check that and make sure nothing is overwriting Python to Binary?

[amalthomas-exe]

Hey @TylerLeonhardt .

Seems like you were right. The issue is with the files.associations user settings.

What is the correct alternative to this ??

[TylerLeonhardt]

@amalthomas-exe What is it that you are trying to achieve with that setting? Why is it set to code-text-binary instead of leaving the default (remove that line) which is to detect .py files as Python?

[amalthomas-exe]

I didn't do that. Maybe some faulty extension setting ig.

Anyways thanks for your help.

The issue has been resolved. Closing it.
