Liquid language mode missing

Technical Q&A
,
1

I’m editing my Shopify theme in VS Code and my .liquid files used to show a Liquid language mode in the editor but now that option is missing.

At the moment, VS Code only shows things like HTML, CSS, JSON, Binary, etc. and sometimes my .liquid files get treated as plain text or binary instead of Liquid.

Has anyone run into this before?
Is this normal with the Shopify extension now, or is something broken in my VS Code setup?

I’d really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Having the same problem on Shopify Code Editor. I hope this gets fixed immediately.

Got the same issue, started sometime in the last couple of hours. Likely due to this error you can see in the browser console:

ERR Extension is not compatible with Code 1.101.0. Extension requires: ^1.104.0. 2 workbench.web.main.internal.js:35:2853

Please fix, Shopify. Many thanks.

Sigh these are the MERCHANT forums.
Location location location this is like going to a showroom in mall looking for a carberoatur instead of going to the local auto parts store.
For dev issues use an actual dev forum , minimal amount of effort to DRASTICALL Yincreases your chances of better issue resolution for devs.

If it’s about specific tool find the actual repo or tangential so internal teams might possibly see the complaint someday
e.g. https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/tools/cli/language-server , https://github.com/Shopify/theme-tools/

(EDIT: more importantly than the below, this appears to have been fixed, but you may need to restart your browser).

Not everyone using these forums is going to be a dev or a partner, but they might use the code editor a bit and find this. For example I got here from a google search and added my ha’pennyworth even though I post on the dev forums quite often too.

Do the Shopify developers take more note of posts in the developer forums? (Even if the post does not relate to the API).

Your making my point for me, merchants would need to be point there as well.
Dev posts like this just add noise for merchants needing technical questions on the shopify surfaces, not the intricacies of developer tooling fit for the developer forum that they made specifically for that line in the sand.
So even if ya’ll were merchants when someones this deep in the weeds they need to be pointed to the right area. Otherwise what happens is dice rolls, if someone with expertise on that specific issue happens to luck by. Most the time leaving the merchant dangling with no support or the slop replies go off the chart.

Yes, just go do it:

@PaulNewton Just wanted to share that I posted the same thing in the Dev Community before coming here but didn’t hear back. That’s why I’m posted here.

@dartacus Good news, I see that the issue is fixed and I can see that the Liquid language in the code editor is working now. I’m marking this post as resolved!
