Vscode-pull-request-github: Extension does not work, the tab on the sidebar shows an empty window.

[Kaukjan]

• Extension version: 0.12.0
• VSCode Version: 1.39.2
• OS: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Instal github pull requests.
2. No step 2 needed.
   

The extension installs, then nothing happens except github icon appears on the sidebar.
Clicking on the icon an empty page appears.
Clicking on configure on this page gives an "command 'pr.configurePRViewlet' not found" error.
Clicking on create pull request gives an "command 'pr.create' not found" error.
Clicking on refresh gives an "command 'pr.refreshList' not found";

[RMacfarlane]

@Kaukjan Can you open the command palette (Ctrl+shift+p), run the Developer: Toggle Developer Tools command, and report if there are any errors in the console?

[Stykro]

Hello, I've the same problem. This is my report in the console

[stoamandl]

I'm having trouble reproducing this myself - it looks like the extension just isn't being activated at all. If you open the output panel, is there a "GitHub Pull Requests" entry in the dropdown?

If that's selected, is there anything printed in that output channel?

[Yvesllc]

Hi,

Thank you for your message. I have this in the output panel
[Info] C:\Users\ydela.ssh\config: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\ydela.ssh\config'

I don't know how to deal with that...

Yves

@RMacfarlane the following seems to be the culprit:

@marcin-rzeznicki Ok, thanks! This is a known issue when using VSCodium or other community builds: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github/issues/1309#issuecomment-522389581

Here's the issue tracking removing the proposed API: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github/issues/1310

We're still waiting on one API to be promoted to stable, until then it should work if you launch VSCode with code --enable-proposed-api GitHub.vscode-pull-request-github from the command line.

This error doesn't seem to be logged for others in this thread, so I think there is still a another issue here.

[marcin-rzeznicki]

@RMacfarlane oh! thank you so much for the info - I must admit I didn't know it; it's really helpful

[yesunhuang]

Well, it seems that the solution is to download Git manually and install again. It did fix the problem on my machine.

That fix worked for me. I saved that command as a shell script on my Linux box and replaced the launcher command by the script. Worked like a charm!

[emowtion]

have the same problem, please fix it

[MosesMachua]

For me the issue was Git was out of date on my mac. Updated via Homebrew and error went away.
$ brew update
$ brew upgrade git

[Dan-Gamin]

I also got this issue

[powershellshock]

Got this same error trying to click on the config (gear) icon for this extension. I just installed VSCode and a couple extensions including this one (also GitLens and Powershell).

Just trying to get started with VSCode and Git integration for the first time, so this is very frustrating.

[RMacfarlane]

@Dan-Gamin @powershellshock If you don't click on any of the icons on the view and wait for a bit, does the view eventually load?

The icon on the activity bar is loaded in VSCode before the extension has been completely activated, I've created an issue about this in VSCode: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/89058 For me, on Windows, it can take about 15 seconds for the extension to actually become active and display something in the view. Do you also see this? If the view never loads, can you try hitting F1 and then running Developer: Toggle Developer Tools and see if there is anything in the console?

I can at least prevent showing the icons before everything has loaded.

[powershellshock]

@RMacfarlane No. I tried launching VScode and doing nothing for 1 minute, then clicked on the extension and waited another 1 minute before clicking on the configure (gear) icon. Same result with identical error.

[RMacfarlane]

@powershellshock Can you try hitting F1 and then running Developer: Toggle Developer Tools and see if there is anything in the console? What version of VSCode and the extension are you using?

Can you see what is printed in the output channel for the extension?

You can use the View: Toggle Output command to open the panel and chose "GitHub Pull Request" from the dropdown

[gsbuildtechs]

THis is what is printed in the output

[adrinjalali]

I had the same issue, and the enable proposed API flag wasn't working.

Apparently the issue was that I had another vscode window open which wasn't run using the flag, and the new one was ignoring the flag and forking the existing open process or something (not sure why really). Closing all vscode and then running with the flag fixed the issue.

[pktiuk]

I have the same issue.
Extension version: v0.19.0

[RMacfarlane]

@pktiuk Are you using VSCodium or another community build? If not, can you please open the output panel and select "GitHub Pull Request" from the dropdown and report any output there

[cscherrer]

@RMacfarlane Still broken for me:

It also says I haven't signed into Github, and offers me a button. But trying to authorize gives me

Oh no! An error occurred!
Please restart the sign in process from the editor.

FWIW my git is set up for ssh (use it all the time), and the knisterpeter.vscode-github extension seems to work fine.

Hit this today, but on Codespaces - GitHub provider....

@ivanvoznyakovsky This should be fixed in 0.21.3, which I just published.

I have the same problem with vscode-insiders
