Emmet is a powerful extension in Visual Studio Code. If you are developing a website or working with any language such as HTML, Emmet helps you to write your code fast and efficiently without making silly mistakes.
But sometimes, while updating VS Code, the VS Code loses the file associations or Emmet stops working for some reason. I encountered the similar problem after I updated my VS Code. I was not able to use Emmet and it seemed annoying to me because I didn’t want to write whole html starter templates while working on website development. So I started finding out the solution and figured out how to fix that.
Step 1: Start your VS Code. Click on the Settings or press Ctrl+, to open the VS Code Settings.
Step 2: Click on the Extensions tab on the left side of the settings. Click on HTML.
Step 3: Click on the “Edit in settings:json” hyperlink to edit the settings in JSON format.
Step 4: Inside the curly braces, enter the following code under the already written JSON code:
“emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab”: true,
“files.associations”: {“*html”: “html”},
"emmet.useInlineCompletions": true
Step 5: Save the file. Now if you try to apply Emmet in your code, it will work smoothly!!
That’s how I fixed this Emmet not working problem which I encountered when I updated VS Code. I hope this solution may be helpful for you as well and serves the purpose.

please anyone help .
As you can see
" "(the quotes) that you have copied are different from the others in settings.json. So you remove the copied quotes and type them again.Place a
,(comma) at the end on line 19. This will separate line 19 from line 20.Hope that helps!! 😀

*thanks a loooot pranav, you solved it *
you're welcome!!
hello sir..
Just remember to add the dot on the file extensions, since the setting
files.associationsis associating files by their extension (e.g., ONE filemy-file.htmlor ALL files*.html) to their language identifier, e.g.htmland because its a JSON file, must be wrapped in double quotes, for example:I don't usually use much of this (or any particular) platform. Just wanted to give you some good Karma mate. I appreciate this. Straight to the point when I needed solutions, not distractions.
Had to change the quotes to straight ones, but anyone can realise that if paying attention
😉
Cheers mate.
Thank you so much mate. Glad that I could help :-)
You can also turn on this setting via VS settings without editing the .json file
And here is where you do that: dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/up...
Yup great!!
True!! Thanks for telling. 😀
Created an account just to say that Pranav you are awesome! You did not ignore anyone in need :)
Thank you so much for your kind words. It motivates me to share more of my findings on this platform. :-)
You are a lifesaver!
Oh thank you, Mari!! 😀
Thanks Pranav
Thanks, it worked
