I found my setting for "Editor: Folding" was false! i.e disabled. (I don't recall why)

Make sure it's on, i.e enabled.

I tried all of the solutions posted so far to no avail. I ended up copying and pasting the code to a new file and the folding worked perfectly.

If you stop the outlining and then start it back up, it should refresh/reset the outlining data for that file.

first goto Edit->Outlining->StopOutlining
then goto  Edit->Outlining->StartAutomaticOutlining

This fixed my issue with code folding wrong code sections, and just doing weird stuff.

I made an extention for Visual Studios 2022 to do it in one click, because I was bored. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zachwuzhere.ext123

There is a setting in the VS.Code : "Settings / Editor: Folding Strategy" I set this to "indentation" while other option is only "auto".

I guess there sometimes problems with other extensions.

I had the same problem with python code. For me this helped:

File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Text Editor -> Folding Strategy -> Set to "indentation"

"Folding Strategy - Controls the strategy for computing folding ranges"

This was set to "auto" for me, after changing to "indentation" it works.

I suspect the "auto" setting uses something smarter which may break depending on system, environment and used imports.

Well that's strange.

You can try a couple things:

  • Re-opening the IDE.
  • Try that piece of code somewhere else (to discard a more general issue).

Does it happen anywhere else? If it does, it could be an editor option.

Regards.
