So on saturday I download vscode, I also installed the PlatformIO IDE so I can do esp8266 development. At this point I thought I had everything I needed. Later that day I was in a place where there is no internet. I started up vscode and went to create a new project using PlatformIO in vscode. It started having internet connection issues.

I am not used to my IDE interfaces needing network just to operate. Really dissappointing.

Does VSCode require internet to operate?

    Not that I know about.

    An older version did require internet connection due to electron before 3.0 but that should be resolved since beginning if this year.

    Could it be PlatformIO that tries to fetch templates online?

    The electron error also should have appeared directly starting vscode, not once you tried to create a project.

    @Voxera I have been thinking about it. I "think" it might be due to the fact that I didn't tell PlatformIO to download the hardware tool chain beforehand for the esp8266. I will have to sort that out. I ended up doing my work in the Arduino IDE because I had that setup already. I just hate not being able to use more advanced IDE features. I have been so spoiled by Qt Creator...
