I am trying to run Processing in VSCode. It is looking for the processing-java CLI. I cannot find it anywhere. I have seen it in very old version of Processing. Is it not part of the installation?
Hi @MSousa and thanks for your question. Which operating system are you using?
Hello,
processing-java.exe is not included with Processing 4.4.1 it seems.
Processing 4.4.3 (beta) has some new options:
This works from the W10 command-line:
D:\Program_Portable\Processing-4.4.3>processing cli --sketch=“D:\Users\GLV\Documents\P4\world_rotation” --run
I tried to get this to work with VS Code using this extension:
Processing VSCode - Visual Studio Marketplace
It does not work in VS Code:
That is as far as I got with this.

PS C:\Users\Stef-\Downloads\RotatingArcs> & "C:\Program Files\Processing\Processing.exe" cli --sketch=C:\Users\Stef-\Downloads\RotatingArcs --run 2>&1 | Out-String
Worked for me in VSCode
Cool beans! And thank you for that!
It does not work when I use the run button in VS Code and you can see this in the terminal output.
It does work if I launch it manually in the TERMINAL in VS Code:
Any thoughts on how to make this work with this extension?
Processing VSCode - Visual Studio Marketplace
And in the future this one?
Processing Language Server Extension for VSCode
Note to anyone visiting this post:
I am using Processing 4.4.3 (Beta)
:)
@glv Not sure how to make it work with the existing extensions, I could take a look at a later stage.
In the mean time, I have created a new one since there’s a lot happened with Processing under the hood to make some of it a lot easier to set up.
If you want, please give a try!
Functionality
- Language Server Support, have the IDE give you suggestions on your code.
- Easy to use, no more need to point VSCode to where Processing is installed.
- Syntax Highlighting
- Play/Stop buttons
Hello @stefterv ,
Where is it expecting it to be?
I have been installing portable versions on my D: Drive and renaming folders with the version number.

As long as you launch Processing (my custom 4.4.74) once, it’ll find it itself!
I am trying!
Processing 4.4.74 is installed on my W10 and I ran it at least once.
This is what VS Code is saying:

Thank you for trying!
I just tried it on my Windows 10 VM both through the installer and with the portable version in the Downloads and on a second drive. I worked in all cases so not entirely sure what is going on there. I’ll add some more detailled error reporting later so we can diagnose this issue.

Okay new version that will be a bit more verbose about errors taking place!
