pico keeps disconnecting and reconnecting when i try to run a script on it

[Emanuel-Tarcisiu]

hi everyone i have just bought my raspberry pico and i wanted to try and learn how to program a microcontroler and i didnt like the thonny ide(and couldnt get it to install micropython on my board) and i have found this vscode extension
(i have uploaded the uf2 file from the official website for micropython)
once the pico connects i can run simple commands via the terminal like print() but once i try and use the run current file on pico command the board just disconnects and then reconnects almost instantly but my script isnt running

i only got his error message in the console: Exception occured (maybe a connection loss)

i dont know what am i doing wrong, i have also tried to connect my pico to my pc using a different usb cable but that one seems to do worse because it just kept connecting and disconnecting without running any commands(i am using a brand new micro-usb cable)

i also want to mention that i have run some simple c programs on my pico and they worked flawlessly
does anyone have a solution for this problem? thanks!

in this screen shot i ran a simple command and then tried to run a blink.py script on my pico but got that message

Maybe that's related to issues some other also have. I'm still searching for a possible cause to this kind of issues.
Is It possible for you to upload a file via the virtual workspace function?

[Emanuel-Tarcisiu]

i dont know how to do that where can i find this option? i used the options menu from when you right click the script to upload it.

i found a button that adds this remote workspace to my directory but i dont know how to use it

Could can use It like a file system (it's on the pico). You can drag the python script in there and then right click the script and select run.

Hello, I am also experiencing the same issue.
As instructed, I dragged the Python script and right-clicked on the script and select run, and the code worked as expected.

I have the same problem. Running MacOS 14.4. Terminal cyclically connects and disconnects every 5 seconds.

It worked! Dragging and dropping the file in the virtual workspace allowed me to run the script! Thank you very much!

This happens to me whenever it gets "stuck". Only I could fix it is by flashing it again.

I just ran into this as well on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.
