[tttonyyy]

Same problem here, with 1.39.0-insider.

[Dayjo]

Same issue just started arising today for me, Mac OS X. Insider 1.39.0

[art049]

Same problem, 1.39.0-insider.

[techshot25]

Downgrade to 1.38 and it should work fine
I won't upgrade until the fix the only feature in insiders that matters, remote-ssh

[dryansweet]

Downgrade link for the lazy.
https://vscode-update.azurewebsites.net/1.38.0-insider/win32-x64/insider

Be sure to turn off auto updates. The ssh session will drop connection even before you restart VS Code.

[fueler]

I hit this issue as well.

[daniel347x]

I have this issue - Hopefully it can be resolved. I depend on remote SSH.

Thanks!

[hsg777]

I have the same issue with insider version which i noticed this morning. It was fine last I checked on Friday.

[calebrob6]

Linux downgrade link for the lazy:

https://vscode-update.azurewebsites.net/1.38.0-insider/linux-deb-x64/insider

[Tyriar]

/duplicate https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/1112

[roblourens]

Fixed now, sorry everyone

[Dayjo]

Thanks @roblourens, am back to work today :D

[Zezombye]

I have the same error on 1.39.0 (not insiders) but it says v.onDidWriteData instead of y.onDidWriteData. It's apparently not fixed?

[Tyriar]

@Zezombye you probably have an out of date extension

[aimzer]

I have the same error with g.onDidWriteData

"uname" process failed: TypeError: g.onDidWriteData is not a function

while connecting to a remote server

[Tyriar]

@aimzer update vscode and the extension, you might be on an old version of vscode and that's the reason you're not getting the latest extension.
