We have been struggling with our command classes since we updated to VSCode. We are binding buttons to commands on the OI class, but they don’t seem to execute the command. Here is the code for OI and Command class. Thank you in advance!

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.buttons.Button;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.buttons.JoystickButton;

/**
* This class is the glue that binds the controls on the physical operator
* interface to the commands and command groups that allow control
of the robot.

public class OI
{
public Joystick driverController = new Joystick(RobotMap.DRIVER_USB_PORT);
public Button D1 = new JoystickButton(driverController, 1);
public Button D2 = new JoystickButton(driverController, 2);

public Button D5 = new JoystickButton(driverController, 5);

public OI()
{
D1.whileHeld(new elevatorUPtoTop());
// D2.whileHeld(new elevatorDownTObottom());
D2.whenPressed(new ShootTime(2));
SmartDashboard.putData("Elevator", new elevatorUPtoTop());
SmartDashboard.putData("Print Text", new PrintText());
SmartDashboard.putData("Shoot", new ShootTime(2));

First thing, definitely confirm your CAN IDs (I assume you probably have).
Second, there is a stray execute()call in your command just above the isFinished() method. Not sure if that is part of the comment, or a separate line, but if its a separate line, your code probably doesn’t compile. Are you certain your build/uploads to the RIO are working?
I don’t see anything else with a quick look over. I’ll keep looking though.
Like gixxy, I do not see anything obvious that would stop it from running. There are a couple things to check. BTW, gixxy, I think the stray execute() is a word wrap of the comment.
First, on the driver station, make sure your joystick is actually at the port defined by the DRIVER_USB_PORT constant.
Second, check the lights on the Talon as you attempt to drive the elevator up. It could be that it is trying but there is something mechanical stopping it from moving.
I also have a question, are you seeing any of the System.out prints from the command? BTW, I would suggest getting familiar with using the debugger from VSCode. It is generally more productive than sprinkling System.out around.
Finally, as far as I can tell, you are not setting a timeout for the command, so isTimedOut() will always return false. This is okay in this case, but if there is some code setting the timeout that we do not see here, it could explain the behavior if it was being set to 0 or close to 0. I think eventually you will want to add a limit switch to the elevator and use that for isFinished.
Ok, really finally… setting up the encoder in initializedDefaultCommand is rather strange. I think you should do it in a constructor instead.
Second, check the lights on the Talon as you attempt to drive the elevator up. It could be that it is trying but there is something mechanical stopping it from moving.
Solid Orange… No change in color. Motor is free load atm, so no possible mechanical error, and it runs with the previously added code.
No System.out prints from the Command… It is like the OI does not call the class.
We have macbook ios. We don’t know how to run the debugger from VSCode, so we depend on System.out prints and the SmartDashBoard.
Can you provide a link to your code in GitHub or elsewhere? I suspect the problem is in something we are not seeing. For example, in teleopPeriodic you now have something like:
Scheduler.getInstance().run();
If you do not, that would cause what you are seeing.
