vscode: Extensions are not loading

Referncing the issue over at https://github.com/drcika/apc-extension/issues/160#issuecomment-1978397126 the resolution is to simply disable the APC extension using it’s quick action, update then enable again.

No need for cli commands or reinstalling vscode.

Great, thanks a lot to everyone helping with the debugging and confirming the root cause!

Given this is caused by an extension that modifies our source, there is nothing actionable from our end. We should however have a signal if the source is modified to be able to catch these scenarios early on. I will follow-up on that. Closing this issue as resolved for now.

Thanks for sharing main and window log. From both the logs, I can confirm that the shared process connection is not established. Assigning to @bpasero @deepak1556 for further investigation.

Can confirm that after reinstalling the VS Code and uninstalling the APC extensions everything is working now…

Sorry guys i will check tomorrow morning, had to go out!

@nahue thanks again for helping us identify the issue, can you also check the following in addition to the above two points from @bpasero

• In your default installation, are you able to open the integrated terminal without issues ?
• To rule out any source modifications by an extension, can you check if diff -rq /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out ~/vscode-sanity-check/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out returns empty result ?

@bpasero tried

• Sanity check build with --new-window - Extension List OK
• Local installation without extensions with --new-window - Extension List FAIL

I dont have any specific network config, no VPN, no static IP, no weird settings in /etc/hosts, and no firewall

@nahue thanks, can you try the following

• Download and extract 1.87 into a temp folder, ex: ~/vscode-sanity-check
• Start the application with following arguments ~/vscode-sanity-check/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code --user-data-dir /tmp/vscode-sanity-check --extensions-dir /tmp/vscode-sanity-check-extensions
• Confirm if the extension view fails to load

Thanks, confirms there is no process crash. As a next step, please run our bisect tool npx @vscode/vscode-bisect to narrow down the commit that caused the regression.
