I'm programming a client side applications using SharePoint Designer 2013.

I want to change to VSCODE since it supports a lot of extensions for some Javascript library like angular, jQuery. And because of the Chrome/Node.js debugger extension.

But when I try to start any Debugger, I got the error:

Unable to create 'launch.json' file inside the '.vscode' folder (Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, mkdir '\\servername\DavWWWRoot\sitename\Style Library\.vscode').

I get this error because it's impossible to create a folder in SharePoint where the name starts with dot.

So there's a possibility to change the name of this folder or the file location to any directory in my local computer?

No, it's not possible to move/rename that folder. VS code is a tool that bases project management on folder content. So it is essential that the project settings reside in the folder being managed.

You can move the "extensions" folder, but unfortunately not the argv.json (so the ".vscode" will, at least be recreated on vscode launch)

I hope that'll finally change sometime .
