The following steps should help:

1. Install previous versions of code-settings-sync
2. Generate new token with gist scope selected
3. Go to F1 → Sync: Advanced Options → Sync: Edit Extension Local Settings
4. Fill token parameter with new token
5. Save changes
6. Install last version of code-settings-sync

Whats the exception logged in console ?

How do I find that? I tried:

1. View -> Output
2. Select drop-down and choose: Tasks, Extension, Git, Log (Extension Host), Log (Main), Log (Shared), and Log (Window).

None of these logs show any exceptions.

[Bill-Stewart]

Created new personal access token and gist.

Disabled extension auto-update and installed 3.2.5. Sync working again.

If I upgrade to 3.2.6 or 3.2.7, I get the error message again.

3.2.6 and newer give the error, and I can't find the actual exception message anywhere in logs.

How do I find that?

help Menu > Toogle Developer Tools - Console.

Actually Settings Sync disabling all the SSL certificates in 3.2.5 and its fixed now. Before saying anything, lets see whats logged in console

[Bill-Stewart]

Ah, that's it - a certificate error:

console.ts:134 [Extension Host] HttpError: request to https://api.github.com/gists/gistid failed, reason: self signed certificate in certificate chain
at module.exports.e.exports.then.then.catch.t (C:\Users\username.vscode\extensions\shan.code-settings-sync-3.2.7\out\extension.js:7:1963)
at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)

Our organization requires a self-signed certificate in the chain for web filtering.

This certificate is present in the OS store. I only get this error in VSCode with this specific extension.

Please advise.

I agree that an extension should not disable certificate errors for all of VS code.

The VS Code page states that if the certificate is trusted by the OS, then Chromium should trust it also.

The certificate is trusted by my machine's OS (Windows 10).

Going to Github works fine in Chrome browser without any certificate errors or problems.

Tried launching code with --ignore-certificate-errors on the command line but this had no effect. (This option is not documented at the documentation page anyway.)

Please advise.

[Bill-Stewart]

Interesting. I uninstalled and reinstalled the VS Code win-ca extension and this seems to have fixed it on one machine.

I will try this on the other machines and report back and possibly close this issue.

[Bill-Stewart]

Yes this is the fix - the other machines that exhibited this issue were missing this extension. This is resolved.

[shanalikhan]

Glad to know u fixed it. 🙂
