Restore "build failed" warning


When running tests on my java project in vscode I would get a pop-up warning saying "build failed" and giving me options to continue, always continue, or fix. I accidentally clicked always continue so the pop-up doesn't show anymore. I want to make the pop-up come back.

I have tried the solution at How can I reenable the warning about unsupported Python version by VS Code debugger but I couldn't find the setting I needed. I also tried completly uninstalling and reinstalling vscode following the instructions here how to completely remove vs-code setting?. The latter did restore a bunch of other pop-ups but not the build failed pop-up I want.

I am using gradle version 8.8 and the debugger for java by microsoft

  • You need to untick the box in the picture.

    enter image description here.

    No idea how this setting survived an uninstall and reinstall but there you have it.
