Hey @techie55 , this is due to a recent change regarding emulators. You now attach emulators via the Connect Dialog (plug icon on the vertical toolbar). Choose the "Attach to a local emulator" option in the dialog to start working with your emulator.

That said, we do realize that this change in behavior was not discoverable! We're working on adding something that should improve this experience. Apologies for the interruption in workflow.

Indeed, there's no hint at all. At least I was able to see the '(Development)' in VS Cloud Explorer...

Hey @mehowq , in our upcoming release, we have returned the "always there" emulator node. It is now called "Emulator - Default Ports". That work has been merged into our master branch for the next release. I'm going to go ahead and close this now that we've addressed it for the next version. :)
