I don't use Mac, so cannot offer any advice.

 
Did you find the solution please @ZeroCafeine?
 
Seems a problem with `MQL Tools`: https://github.com/L-I-V/MQL-Tools/issues/6 🧐, but maybe you found workaround to fix the problem?

Hi Davit Voskanyan

Unfortunately I haven't found a solution for MAC, for the moment I'm using my Windows PC, and when I have to travel and use my MAC, then I'll probably use Visual code studio as usual for my programming and open MetaEditor to compile, no other choice, 

I prefer this solution for the time being, as I'm rarely on my MAC for programming.

If you find a solution, I'll take it.

You are referring to this extension, right?

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=L-I-V.mql-tools


In the issue tracker to this extension, it states there is an issue, and it has not been resolved.

https://github.com/L-I-V/MQL-Tools/issues


Here, in this issue, the developer responded with "It will be fixed in the future"

https://github.com/L-I-V/MQL-Tools/issues/6


Hasnt happend since then, so maybe you would like to consider this pull request:

https://github.com/L-I-V/MQL-Tools/pull/33


I personally stopped using VScode, as it is one of those "Try to solve it all" stupidity approaches, instead of focusing on an actual issue, it just introduces even more hazzle to daily work results...

I fully agree. That was my thought as well.
