vscode: Code --list-extensions slow

  • VSCode Version: 1.35, 1.36
  • OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Call code --list-extensions
  2. VSCode lists all extensions
  3. VSCode takes > 30 seconds to return, even if no extensions are installed

I tried uninstalling all extensions, uninstalling VSCode (also deleting $HOME/.vscode and $HOME/.config/Code) and upgrading to the newest version, the behavior persists.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: N/A

No. Based on the info here I suspected. Also I was in that code recently.

Interesting @sandy081 . @fasmat Can you edit the product.json file distributed with code and change enableTelemetry to false and see if that helps?

Is it could be due to our telemetry flush while exiting?
