Vscode: Update: often hits ERR_NETWORK_IO_SUSPENDED

[elieobeid7]

I'm using windows 10, vscode 64 bit latest update. I keep getting this notification, I have no idea if it's a bug or not, just letting you know

[joaomoreno]

Are you behind a proxy?

[elieobeid7]

No I'm not, nor a vpn, but I have multiple sftp plugins installed and configured, could it be because of them? is there a log I could check?

Plus the php project I'm working on has the main git repo in composer.json on some remote server I can't reach, but I've never asked vscode to try and pull it

[joaomoreno]

Really not sure what this is. Found this related link: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=82407

I just encountered this error combined with net::ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED: this happened right after I resumed from sleep my laptop at work (I set it to sleep last night at home, of course connected to a different wireless

[alexweininger]

The error message

net::ERR_NETWORK_IO_SUSPENDED

Source: Update Service

Appears on launch.

Also seeing this for many times, exactly the same error message. No proxy/VPN etc.

One suspicious reason is I usually make my laptop sleep (win+x>shut down or sign out>sleep) before I leave. Then when I am back, it is very likely to see this error.

This error message always happens for me, one notification in every open VSC window, when I wake my work laptop up from sleep. All 1.28.x releases.

I'm seeing this. With 1.28.2 on Windows 10 1809
Maybe related, I'm also seeing the error in #7570, cannot start VS Code without internet connection.

[bogdan-calapod]

Also seeing this, Windows 10 1809. No proxy or anything, and the WiFi adapter is the only enabled network adapter. What I noticed is that it also shows up when switching workspaces (Ctrl + R).

I experience the "net::ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED - Source: Update Service" issue in VS Code 1.28.2 on Windows 10 1809.
This is not when waking up from sleep, but spontaneous (at least no apparent reason).

[Contrapuntist]

I've also recently seen this message. It happened after I installed the recent update. Didn't see it before that.

net::ERR_NETWORK_IO_SUSPENDED

[LordHog]

I am also seeing this message recently. I am not sure it is related to the recent VSC update or cpptools update. I am seeing it both on CentOS and Windows 10 machines. Behind company fireware, but proxy settings are configured and never had an issue until today.

[gguidotti]

I'm having the same issue with my work laptop.
I suspend it every afternoon and once I come back to the office I see the net::ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED coming up.

Same here, no Proxies or VPN. Windows 10 1803 (17134.376). I also mainly hibernate my system.

[subarugt]

Happened 1st time to me this morning... also on resume.

Closed VS Code. Disconnected my internet connection. Opened Command Promt. Typed in ipconfig /flushdns. Reconnected to internet. Open VS Code. Problem gone.

Hope that also works for others..

[alexdima]

@joaomoreno I also hit this. The steps are:

• let Windows PC hibernate
• wake up PC
• open a new window or open a folder in the existing window

I don't mind that checking for updates is somehow broken after the resume, but the notifications showing so often are annoying.

[joaomoreno]

Moving to November.

Copying discussion from #62824:

You know, looking through src/vs/workbench/parts/update/electron-browser/update.ts, it looks like this code is made to also handle the case of the user manually requesting an update. In that case, a lack of internet _would_ be an error case.

Maybe the update code paths should keep track (pass through) how the request to update was originated? If it originated from a user action, failures are errors; if not, they should be silent logs.

[robinlarondelle]

Getting this error as well, running Windows 1809, Visual Studio Code wont open up w/o internet connection as well... I think this is related

[elieobeid7]

@joaomoreno I just want to say that I received the same problem right now and I have the latest version, no updates available, version 1.29.1.

I don't know if you pushed the update to users or not

https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/commit/1567e662ccfe9a8e034e6eecb1ac68d5fc754805

But in case you did update VSCode, then the issue is still not fixed.

[usernamehw]

Updates are going into the Insiders version. And into the next Stable release.

[elieobeid7]

@usernamehw Ah thanks for the info!

[roblourens]

I see this on Mac:

• Go offline
• Click "Check for updates"
• In devtools:

  ERR context is not defined: ReferenceError: context is not defined
    at t.onError (/Applications/Visual Studio Code - Insiders.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-main/main.js:347:147)

[roblourens]

I'll call this verified because I haven't seen random update service errors when offline recently, and code review makes sense. I'll open a new issue for the Mac failure.
