Vscode-remote-release: Cannot connect to SSH Host after Restart to Update

[cmeans]

• VSCode Version: 1.37.0-insider
• OS Version: macOS Mojave 10.14.6

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Click Restart to Update
2. After restart, VS starts fine, but stuck with notification in lower right indicating:
   Setting up SSH Host vagrant_vm (details) Initializiing VS Code Server.

Terminal Window shows:

[snip]...
Starting server...
Waiting for server log...

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: N/A
Without Remote-Connections this tool is useless to me.

Clicking the detail link in the Notification reveals:

I had to downgrade to 1.36.0-insider to be able to use ssh.

Same problem here. I manually stopped the relevant server processes running on the remote machine but it didn't help. Here's my log:

Same problem for me.

I got the same "Checking server status with wget..." message. I tried removing my .vscode-server-insiders directory to make it reinstall, and got the following errors:

Same original issue. Am able to get it to work, by killing the VM side server process. (killall node or whatever works for you)
On reconnect it will fail again unless I kill the process again.

EDIT - Inconsistent results, works for a bit, doesn't work for a bit. Seems like it depends on which update server you get routed to.

Already made an issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/1032

[roblourens]

I can reproduce, you can use the nightly ssh extension as a workaround for now

[roblourens]

You can also click "details" to get the install terminal then kill the terminal manually (garbage can icon)

Found the problem https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/pull/2348

Sorry about the hassle everyone, this will be fixed in the next Insiders build which should drop about 7 hours from now. In the meantime you can jump on the nightly SSH build to unblock yourself.
