Hi! I’ve installed webOS TV CLI, command “ares -V” works well, but VS Code doesn’t see CLI. VS Code also throws error “Failed to get the device list”. I tried to restart my computer, but nothing changed. I use Linux Mint 21.1

Please make sure your environment variables are set correctly. The VS Code extension uses WEBOS\_CLI\_TV. Therefore, the CLI must be installed in the same path as WEBOS\_CLI\_TV. For more information, please refer to [CLI Installation](https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/tools/cli-installation). Thank you.

I’m sure, everything was fine with env variables. I don’t know how this is connected, but three reinstallation cli, reinstallation vs code and one downloading web\_os\_simulator have soluted this problem. I think problem somehow was related to vs code. There will be nice if developers can set path to web\_os and web\_os\_cli on their own in vs code settings. Thank you!
