Error - Couldn't detect the home directory for XXX_XXX_XXX_XXX #331

franklinkf · 2022-03-31T05:15:35Z

I am trying to add a workspace folder from SSH Hosted in Windows Server. But I am getting the following error:

Can you please guide me how I can resolve the issue. I am using the extension for the first time.

Regards

Franklin

This issue would be easier to solve with debug logs, so please follow these steps:

Add DEBUG_SSH2 to the sshfs.flags array in VS Code's User Settings (settings.json)
e.g. "sshfs.flags": ["DEBUG_SSH2"]
- See this issue for more information about adding flags
If you already have a connection open, close it completely (or even reload the window)
Go to Output > SSH FS and copy the log from there after replicating your bug
While it should censor passwords/passphrases, I recommend checking it for (other) sensitive data first.
(especially since DEBUG_SSH2 activates some internal logging, which is less likely to be censored)

Besides that, what OS and version of OpenSSH (or similar) is your server running? Any special/unusual server-side config?

I think i might have the same problem. It also tells me "Could not detect home directory".
This is only for one server. When i try another server it seems to work great.

When posting your logs somewhere, keep the following in mind:
  - While the logging tries to censor your passwords/passphrases/..., double check!
    Maybe you also want to censor out e.g. the hostname/IP you're connecting to.
  - If you want to report an issue regarding authentication or something else that
    seems to be more of an issue with the actual SSH2 connection, it might be handy
    to reconnect with this added to your User Settings (settings.json) first:
      "sshfs.flags": [ "DEBUG_SSH2" ],
    This will (for new connections) also enable internal SSH2 logging.

@wouters It seems like your affected server runs SshReverseProxy. A quick glance at their code makes me think they don't support terminal sessions? It seems to only allow subsystem (and env and exit-signal) but not exec and shell.

This'll be quite tricky. It looks like the OpenSSH server on Windows starts a command prompt instead of a PowerShell as I expected. Not that the latter is great either, but at least it supports some sh features that the extension uses which cmd.exe doesn't support. I'll see if I can get the extension to work properly with cmd.exe, but it'll be quite tricky.

For those having this issue when connecting to Windows OpenSSH servers (@stuieordie), this should be fixed in #338.

@gamazind Are you sure that /usr/sbin/cli-login can operate as a valid shell? And what remote server are you connecting to? I don't see the initial part of your log where it mentions e.g. the remote intent. Also, do you see any output in the terminal that gets opened?

gamazind · 2022-06-03T08:55:37Z

Hi @SchoofsKelvin
Yes, I sure. It is special shell. I can connect to it from Windows 10 and Linux Debian as well using native ssh command. Remote server is server shell application on Linux Debian. I see in window text like "Connecting to [Name of connection]" and closed after.
You can see report here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12yLUEYsb3Zo78uiAZnpqD_B2avjHTAQ1/view?usp=sharing

Based on the output your shell reported, I assume it's a Cisco router? It looks quite similar to #327, which is still an unresolved issue.

In your case, it seems like the extension is also wrongly recognizing your terminal type as PowerShell. Looks like a bug in the fallback shell detection when echo :::SHELL:$SHELL:SHELL::: fails. I'll write a patch for that right now.

Hi. No, looks it is proprietary SSH

#331)

SchoofsKelvin · 2022-06-07T20:11:59Z

Well, if it's a proprietary shell that doesn't fit any of the other supported shell types, it'll be quite hard to add support for it. You can try this commit's build (it's just on master branch) where the PowerShell detection is stricter now and doesn't give false positives anymore, hence the detection might fallback to regular sh shell type for your setup. _alternatively, 81d1301 also added a flag you can use as SHELL_TYPE=bash to force a certain known shell config type.

Should that work fine, it might be able to detect your home directory just fine. Otherwise, add the -CHECK_HOME and you should at least get most of the file system features, most likely along with support for remote terminals.

gamazind · 2022-06-07T20:30:47Z

No changes. I`ve checked current shell and SHELL_TYPE=bash (and bash with full path) as well. Additional flags that I have: "DEBUG_SSH2", "-CHECK_HOME". Same behaviour

I'm having the same problem and my system loads powershell by default. Any resolve yet, it won't let me back in.

edb616321 · 2022-07-08T01:41:22Z

Was able to partially resolve my issue. Deleted config file and reconfigured with new user on remote system. I'm able to login without the error. The system seems to be very sensitive about the path to the remote users home directory. Also, the terminal option does not show up in the list of terminals. I have to manually reconnect it every time.

edb616321 · 2022-07-08T17:27:18Z

Sorry- Still not working. Anything on this issue?

SchoofsKelvin · 2022-07-12T16:23:43Z

Can you both post debug logs for the latest master build? To get debug logs:

Add DEBUG_SSH2 to the sshfs.flags array in VS Code's User Settings (settings.json)
e.g. "sshfs.flags": ["DEBUG_SSH2"]
- See this issue for more information about adding flags
If you already have a connection open, close it completely (or even reload the window)
Go to Output > SSH FS and copy the log from there after replicating your bug
While it should censor passwords/passphrases, I recommend checking it for (other) sensitive data first.
(especially since DEBUG_SSH2 activates some internal logging, which is less likely to be censored)

The extension isn't great at handling esoteric server setups regarding weird shells, unusual file system mappings, ... and while I can try to add (limited) support for some of those, it's quite tricky.

@edb616321 What terminal option are you talking about?
