Latex-workshop: Missing PDF after updating VSCode.

[nakamin]

This is happening on two different machines after the most recent VSCode update. It worked perfectly before the update which was applied a few minutes ago.

Logs

It might be also useful to mention that I am using Remote SSH, but this didn't cause any problems before, the PDF opened and updated perfectly. I am able to see the PDF in the browser without any issues.
Some more interesting errors

Not sure if these are at all related.

This is probably related to #1472. Make sure to use LaTeX-Workshop 7.1.0.

[nakamin]

I am already using that version. I have also tried reinstalling, didn't help.

I recommend you to post the whole log messages and others required in the issue template if you want to solve your problem. Understand?

Anyway, even if you have updated the extensions on your local machine, the updating in the remote machine might have failed. Remove ~/.vscode-server in the remote machine and reinstall it. See link.

You must shutdown the current vscode remote server if it is running.

I have the same issue, but i have noticed it is related to using VS Code trough "Remote-WSL".

Please show us log messages. Show us the exact versions of VSCode, LaTeX workshop, and OS. The word latest is NOT helpful. Please disable all the other extensions except for LaTeX Workshop, and check that you still see this issue.

1 Please change the theme of VSCode to the default one, and check that you still see this issue.
2 Please change all the user settings of VSCode to the default ones, and check that you still see this issue.
3 Please disable all the other extensions except for LaTeX Workshop, and check that you still see this issue.

Then please do the followings.

1. Open the command palette.
2. Enter Developer: Toggle Developer Tools and press enter.
3. Show us messages in the console.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I am running to the same bug as well:

Local: MacOS 10.14.4
Remote: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
VS: 1.36.1
Extension: 7.1.0

I disabled all other extensions with only local remote extensions opened, remote latex-workshop turned on. Default settings. Only changed "latex.workshop.tool" as the absolute path to latexpdf tools etc.

A side note, the pdf seems generated correctly as I can use other extensions to view it remotely.

And it seems working fine under VSCode 1.35.1, so it might be related to some changes from the most recent IDE update

I still met the same problem in VS Code 1.38.1 and Latex workshop 8.2.0, Windowd 10.
We I first time compiler the tex file. The pdf file is show up correctly on the right sider of editor. But after several times of changing tex file and re-compiler, the pdf file could not open successfully on the right sider.
I see a note that No PDF viewer connected for 'XXX.pdf' in the log. And the pdf file can open successfully on the web viewer.
