Lesson 12: ERC20 - VS Code not auto-checking syntax

[ManuWeb3]

Hi all,

I've Solidity+Hardhat VS Code extension already installed. I'm writing ManualToken.sol but VS Code is not highlighting any of the syntax errors in Red unlike it used to earlier in all the projects and it's still working in all those previous project directories.

Though I could have gone ahead by cloning Hardhat-Starter-Kit repo but want to know what I'm missing here.

Below is package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers": "npm:hardhat-deploy-ethers",
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan": "^3.1.0",
    "@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle": "^2.0.3",
    "chai": "^4.3.6",
    "ethereum-waffle": "^3.4.4",
    "ethers": "^5.6.9",
    "hardhat": "^2.10.1",
    "hardhat-deploy": "^0.11.12",
    "hardhat-gas-reporter": "^1.0.8",
    "prettier": "^2.7.1",
    "prettier-plugin-solidity": "^1.0.0-beta.13",
    "solhint": "^3.3.7",
    "solidity-coverage": "^0.7.21"
  }
}

Please advise.

Do you have conflicted extensions as so?

If not, just click where I have "Solidity" -- which basically sets the language for VSCode.

'solidity by Juan' was showing "disable". That means, I had it enabled along with 'Solidity + Hardhat'.

Now I've disabled it and it's not installed either as below, right?

Now what I have is this:

Earlier, it was showing JSON, now fixed it to solidity, below:

But, still auto-check is not enabled. Any other miss ?

hey, just tried the age-old remedy of restart and it's working now.

So, that exactly was the problem, both were enabled.

Thanks @krakxn
