Hi all i’m a newbie learning to code, i use Pinegrow with VsCode iv’e watched the video’s on how to set them both up but for some strange reason i keep getting this prompt from VsCode, Unable to connect to Pinegrow at [http://localhost:40003/editor](http://localhost:40003/editor). I have copied the Api from Pinegrow to VsCode,uninstalled and reinstalled Pinegrow try to change the settings in VsCode but i get the same prompt ??? I guess it’s a very simple fix for the more experienced but as i say i’m a newbie so i guess i’m making a simple mistake, if anyone could help shed some light on this would be much appreciated as i’m trying to finish a course and using VsCode with Pinegrow makes coding so much easier for me. Thanks, RJ. ---

you need to go into the settings on both apps and make sure they agree on the host values mine are both set to host 127.0.0.1 port 40000 which is, i believe, the default ---

this is what i have in my VSC extension setting [http://127.0.0.1:40000](http://127.0.0.1:40000) have you tried changing both to these values, or are you set on using the ones you posted not sure using a named ip address is going to work, i would go with the explicit form of the number ip… ---

Hi droidgoo, firstly thanks for all your help i just managed to get them both to sync. Tbh i can’t say i anything Techical apart from go through the same process for the 80th time,close VsCode and then Pinegrow and then restart in the reverse order and for strangely it worked. I was getting the same error as in your screen shot, i have been on this since yesterday (lol) so i’m very happy to have got it sorted with your help. I’ve been looking to find a Workflow like this using Pinegrow and a good text editor to help me learn to code and have a better understanding of what the code is doing and how to solve when it’s not working, for me this is defo the way forward, PERFECT. A very happy newbie coder. Thanks drooidgoo. ---

glad you got it working… there’s still some kinks in the communication between PG, VSC and my mouse hand that could use improvement, but it’s handy to have a text editor with all the bells and whistles. ur gonna want spell right too and you figure out how to get that to work, you let me know.
