Vscode: [v1.48] [Breaking] Cannot authenticate proxies

[matthewkwong2]

Same issue as #97199, just on a different version.

• VSCode Version: 1.48
• OS Version: Windows 10

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Edit
Possible reason: In <installation_folder>\resources\app\out\vs\code\electron-sandbox\proxy, auth.js is missing. auth.html imports this script but it is not there. This might explain why the submit action does nothing.

Edit 2
Thanks, @ota-meshi for the workaround:

1. Download auth.js
2. Place it in <installation_folder>\resources\app\out\vs\code\electron-sandbox\proxy

FYI, I was able to get it working by downloading and placing the following file.
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/code/electron-sandbox/proxy/auth.js

Confirm, an old bug returned.

Where to place it?

Not exactly an old bug. It's more like the devs team forgot to bundle the 1 single script.

See my edit of the OP.

I think the easiest workaround is to install the downgraded VSCode from the following link.

same on MacOS. Makes the whole tool useless as you can't click anything than force quit the application.

@deepak1556 looks like this file needs to be explicitly listed somewhere here to be included in the build (I think the auth.css does not exist anymore and can be removed):

Sorry about the breakage.

Thanks @ota-meshi for narrowing down the issue.

Steps to verify:

• Clone https://github.com/joaomoreno/proxy-containers
• cd basic-auth && ./run.sh
• open code-insiders
• Settings > Proxy > http://127.0.0.1:3129
• Open developer tools > fetch('https://github.com') or perform any network request
• play with the auth dialog
• verify the auth dialog can be opened again once proxy config is changed
