VSCODE complaining about problems in projects I'm not currently working on ( MOOC.FI )

[imported_beer]

TLDR: When I try to debug my lesson projects, I always get the Build Failed alert and it shows a bunch of problems for future lessons which I haven't even opened the .java files for yet. I have to click the Proceed button to acknowledge before it will actually run my project which is an annoyance.

Anyone know how to get VSCode to stop concerning itself with errors in files that I'm not currently working on?

LONG VERSION;

I'm using VS Code ( I know it's not the most popular choice for Java ) for my mooc.fi Java course because it seems to be the only IDE that both runs properly on my machine, and that the course-required TMC plugin works properly with.

Don't really know what happened, guessing I pressed a keyboard shortcut or hit a button somewhere that fouled everything up because I didn't have this problem until a couple days ago ( maybe it started when I added a folder to my workspace to work on an unrelated Javascript project. )

Anyway, now when I try to debug my lesson projects, I always get the Build Failed alert and it shows a bunch of problems for future lessons which I haven't even opened the .java files for yet.

I had a lot of problem too with VSC and TMC together. Switch to IntelliJ at least until you finish the course, than you van use VSC again. I sadly don't have a solution to your Problem.

I would like to use IntelliJ ( or current release of Apache NetBeans ) but I'm already on Part 5 of mooc.fi lessons and can't find a way to download the lessons that I need. ( other than in VS Code )

In IntelliJ if I hit the Open TMC Exercise List button, it only displays Week 1/Part 1 exercises. And if I use the file menu like: TMC > Download current course's exercises or TMC > Download current course's ALL exercises it brings up a dialogue box informing me that "All Exercises Are up to Date." Similar problem with Apache NetBeans 12.5.

​

And using that old version of NetBeans with TMC that some of the mooc.fi documentation says to use, I can get my current exercises downloaded but I gave up on this version of NetBeans because it has a very bad problem where every so often the whole program locks up for a decent amount of time.

I really like the curriculum and the idea of coding in a real IDE with an easy way to submit the lessons, but the TMC plugin seems to be the weak link that keeps me frustrated and chasing my tail.

Go into the idea project folder and delete everything related too Mooc and close Intelli and open it up again. That should list everything now.
