Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue. Can you please describe how you encountered it? What didn't work as expected?

Thanks

[lu-ka]

Fresh installs of vscode on *nix, installing the extension(s) sets up their interface (the buttons and whatnot) but not the actual functionality.

I think the dependencies don't get updated, tried manually but npm kept 404ing /node_modules/.staging/* with dependencies' dependencies.

Digging a bit deeper I've found that the extensions are typescript applications but only contain some json config files and things like welcomePage nlsbundle & whatnot.

./out/prod/extension-prod.js seems to be your extension's core and judging by the fact it successfully loads the interface and its .svg files into vscode. Crux of the issue might be dependencies as I mentioned above;

BUT as I'm typing this I realized I've got no TSC compiler on the machine so I'll get back to you when I try to reinstall with typescript installed.

[lu-ka]

npm install tsc made no difference.
Removing package-lock.json made little difference - now it fails at 404 Not Found: @vs/vscode-account@^1.0.711

Do you see "Downloading dependencies: Finishing VS Live Share installation (downloading).." message that doesn't go away? There is a new bug in VSCode insiders where Live Share extension doesn't finish its installation. The workaround is to use VSCode stable for now.

[IlyaBiryukov]

Here is the bug on VSCode: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/81075

[coreygo]

@IlyaBiryukov Was about to comment on #2780 but saw the above. Looks like I'm hitting that particular problem. Have tried the repro steps mentioned in #2780 but the message never disappears.

Version: 1.39.0-insider

[IlyaBiryukov]

We just shipped Live Share VSCode extension 1.0.828 with the fix to this issue. I'm going to close the bug. If it still repros, please feel free to re-activate.

[lu-ka]

ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-1.0.828
still doesn't work

and I'm on stable

[IlyaBiryukov]

@lu-ka Then it is another issue. I'm re-opening it.
Can you check in your Live Share extension folder if the following files are present?
install-win32.lock
externalDeps-win32.lock
dotnet_modules\mscorlib.dll

If you uninstall the extension and install it again, do you still reproduce the issue?
Do you still see "Downloading dependencies: Finishing VS Live Share installation (downloading).." message not going away, or is it a different message now?
Do you see anything in Output windows, Visual Studio Live Share log?

[skid9000]

I have the same problem.

Can you check in your Live Share extension folder if the following files are present?

Nope

If you uninstall the extension and install it again, do you still reproduce the issue?

Yes

Do you still see "Downloading dependencies: Finishing VS Live Share installation (downloading).." message not going away, or is it a different message now?

Do you see anything in Output windows, Visual Studio Live Share log?

No.

[IlyaBiryukov]

Do you have any proxy set up on the machine when you see this error?
This error condition is tracked by a different issue, #2681.

I'm going to close this one as fixed.

[ThatFatArcus]

Bug reappears on 1.0.1783 stable, linux

[IlyaBiryukov]

@ThatFatArcus Is it the same as #2681 or different? If it's different, can you please submit a new issue and attach your Live Share logs to it?
