Tried most things but this actually worked.

Have the file open or selected and go to File > Preferences > Settings > Extensions > REST Client Then click "Edit in settings.json" and add the following.

{
    "editor.codeLens": true
}

I had the following in my settings which hides the "Send Request" button. Commenting this out brings the button back.

{
  "editor.codeLens": false
}

I had the same problem. This is how I fixed it:

  1. Installed "REST Client by HuaChao Mao" -> Open Visual Studio Code -> Extensions -> In the search bar, type "Rest client" -> Install.

Rest Client

  1. Created an HTTP file -> Right-click on your folder, select New File -> name the file with an HTTP extension, for example "requests.http" -> Save.

  2. Type GET and you will see the "Send Request" button appear.

Sample GET request

Troubleshooting:

  1. If the Send Request button does not show up, try running the Program.cs. It should say:"Now Listening on: HTTP://localhost:####", where #### is your port number.

ListeningPort

  1. Check the debug console for exceptions.
  2. All else fails, uninstall the Rest Client and reinstall.

Hope this helps.

Not sure if this what you are looking for, but if you would like to see your request displayed in the same window as response, you need to add the following configuration to your settings.json file:

    "rest-client.previewOption":"exchange"

This is covered in "Customize Response Preview" section of the help page

You can view the request details by opening the request history and selecting the first entry.

Press Ctrl + Alt + H to open the request history (or run 'Rest Client: View Request History' from the command palette).

You can add three # symbol after each request like below:

POST http://localhost:8800/api/carts/ Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{ "productId": "63c00763e65ebde449e9b411", "quantity": "1" }

3 '###' here

GET http://localhost:8800/api/carts/
