Do you have an ssh config file set up?

[SSmale]

@roblourens yes I have been using it fine for 6 months then the other day the panel is empty. I can’t select a new host or previous directories or start any port forwarding.

I did notice a pop up saying that the ssh explorer extension was no longer needed and not long after that it stopped showing

[kuelumbus]

Same problem here.

"Remote SSH: Connect to host" works and correctly shows all hosts from ~/.ssh/config

[roblourens]

Can you check that the SSH extension is up to date? And are there any errors in devtools? (Help > Toggle Developer tools)

Any idea @alexr00?

[roblourens]

I don't know whether that error is related, @sandy081 does it look familiar?

If you open a new local window do you see any difference?

[kuelumbus]

Yes, the error disappears in a new local window.

[chrmarti]

Just saw that too:

/cc @alexr00

The error seems unrelated and is tracked as https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/79809.

[alexr00]

Somehow the remote explorer isn't getting all the views the way I expect it to.

[roblourens]

I wasn't able to repro, can you include steps @alexr00?

[roblourens]

Or someone else who saw it can confirm that it is fixed in the latest insiders build?

[alexr00]

I'm not sure how it's happening, so I don't have any repro steps.

[SSmale]

I have checked my system and it is now showing the remote hosts and port forwarding as expected. Thanks @alexr00!

[alexr00]

Thank you @SSmale!
