Live-share: [VS Code] Refuses to stay logged in when joining session

[caseyWebb]

Error:

Live Share signs out out every time a new session is opened, making it impossible to use in read-write mode.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. command palette => Live Share: Sign in with Browser
   (1a. Copy/paste URL in to Chrome because Firefox doesn't work. "Your sign in session has expired" message. :upside_down_face:)
2. command palette => Live Share: Join Collaboration Session
3. New window is launched, toast notification pops up saying "Signed Out" and prompts to sign in for read-write.
4. Sign in, VS Code opens dropdown asking for URL for collaborative session

Steps 3-4 repeat indefinitely

This is definitely happening with me now, never used to. It must have something to do with an update.

This is an incredibly frustrating problem. I can't join any collaboration sessions because of it. I've signed out, signed in, uninstall live share, uninstalled VSCode, no dice.

Still happening to me. This is completely obstructing my ability to work with other people.

Same here. :(

I've discovered that 1) you need to have gnome-keyring installed, and 2) the open source version of VSCode sometimes gets grumpy about missing APIs, so installing the proprietary release might help.

I have met all your requirements but the issue still persists.

Any update on the issue? Still exists

I noticed that when this problem occurs, live share is not listed in the user's trusted extensions. you can check by clicking user icon, then account name, then manage trusted extensions

Update: I used to have this problem for a while, but I don't anymore. I don't remember exactly when, but maybe around a month after my last comment it stopped occurring. Not sure what changed though.

I'm on Manjaro, I've been having this issue for a while, just installing gnome-keyring worked for me. Sicne OP is also on Arch, maybe this is a thing?
