I have latest VS Code 1.50.1 and latest ObjectScript extension.

For some unknown reasons, my IRIS icon disappeared from VS Code activity bar.

How can I get my IRIS icon back?

Thanks, Evgeny.

I open a folder, the icon appears now.

This is a very common error. You may be in a rush, or doing too much multi-tasking, then open VS Code expecting to see the IRIS icon signifying your favorite programming extension is ready and waiting. Then to your surprise, it's missing! The likely problem is that you haven't opened a folder yet in VS Code. Just do that and you should see the icon again.

Thank you, Harry, for asking this question! I have been installing and reinstalling the extensions because I was sure that I had messed up the install. Turns out that I just forgot to open a folder. 🤦 There should be a common issues/misunderstandings tip sheet for VSCode and this should be on it! 😀
