[Wurst] Problem with getting WurstScript to run

[redscores]

Hello dear Hiveworkshop Programmers,

I am currently getting into Mapmaking again and I am confronting myself with WurstScript.

I installed JRE.

Then installed VS Code and installed the WurstScript Plugin.

Then I proceeded to start the "WurstInstaller" and set the paths correctly to my Warcraft 3 TFT folder.

When I start the newly created Wurst Structure I get all the folders that are listed in the Wurst Manual Guide for Installation.

But If I try to "Run Task" in Visual Studio Code and try to type "runmap" as described in the manual it doesn't work.

It doesn't display "Hello World" as it should. The Syntax highlighting seems to work.

Please help! I do not know what is wrong here.

A possible cause might be due to Java 11 no longer shipping with a user orientated JRE build. Java 11 is only available as an SDK, which includes the JRE, but does not automatically set the path environment variable to allow Java programs to automatically run.

If this is the cause, the solution would be...

Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings ->Environment Variables... -> System variables (table) -> Path (entry in table) -> make sure it contains a line like "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11\bin" except set appropriately for your JDK install to point at the bin folder.

@Dr Super Good Thanks alot I will try your solution

Are you running the provided test map of the project? Have you altered the provided file within the wurst folder of that project?
The provided file would look somewhat like this: (It may not fully resemble it)

package Demo

init
    print("Hello World!")

Perhaps the print line was deleted?

@MyPad I run exactly that Demo.

But if I go to "Run Task" and type "runmap" (Warcraft 3 is not open or anything) it does not work.

I solved my problem.

I was an idiot and tried to do runmap over the "Run Task"

... It has to be done over the command palette. Now it works It even starts the warcraft 3 game itself.
