Solve LeetCode problems in VS Code
- English Document | 中文文档
Note: If you are using
leetcode-cn.com, you can just ignore this section.
Recently we observed that the extension cannot login to leetcode.com endpoint anymore. The root cause of this issue is that leetcode.com changed its login mechanism and so far there is no ideal way to fix that issue.
Thanks for @yihong0618 provided a workaround which can somehow mitigate this by using the cookie to login. Here are the steps about what you should do if you want to login to leetcode.com endpoint using cookie:
- Logout from the extension
- Make sure current active endpoint is
leetcode.com(Not leetcode-cn.com) - Copy the cookie as mentioned here
- Trigger the command
Sign In by Cookieto login through the copied cookie.
- VS Code 1.30.1+
- Node.js 8+
NOTE: Please make sure that
