Hi !

I am unable to import a java 2022 project into the 2023 Vscode WPILib

Any idea, please?
Thank you!

The project you’re trying to import has a missing or corrupted .wpilib/wpilib_preferences.json- you’ll need to have one in the project for the importer to function properly.

Here is the one from 1018’s 2022 code- you can copy it and replace the team number with your own and replace java with cpp if necessary.

github.com

PikeRoboDevils/FRC-2022-Software/blob/develop/.wpilib/wpilib_preferences.json

{
    "enableCppIntellisense": false,
    "currentLanguage": "java",
    "projectYear": "2022",
    "teamNumber": 1018
}

After you add that to your project the importer should function properly.
