Stuck "Downloading dependencies: Finishing VS Live Share installation..." #2071

mooreaa · 2019-05-07T21:45:40Z

I'm running macOS Mojave and have recently had to reinstall plugins on VS Code. Live Share has been stuck saying (in the status bar) "Downloading dependencies: Finishing VS Live Share installation..." and won't go away. Live Share is not working.

I'm on VS Code Version 1.33.1 and I have tried uninstalling and then re installing the plugin. Any support appreciated.

To get unblocked, you can try deleting the following folder on your mac: ~\.vscode\extensions\ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-1.0.125 (or the equivalent folder if you are running an older extension version), and try installing again.

To help us fix the underlying issue, we can get more information about it from your logs. You can access them via the Live Share: Export Logs command from the command palette (ctrl + shift + p) and attach them to this issue.

mooreaa · 2019-05-07T23:25:20Z

Thanks @dlebu removing that folder fixed it.

Before deleting, when I tried to open the Live Share: Export Logs, it would say Activating Plugin then go back to the Downloading dependencies, so somehow, it was stuck before the plug could properly initialize. Not sure if its a VS issue or an issue with this plugin. Either way, I find it strange that uninstalling the plugin didn't clear the issue.

dlebu · 2019-05-07T23:31:15Z

@mooreaa Glad you got unblocked. You can also get the logs manually at $TMPDIR/VSFeedbackVSRTCLogs.

Attached are my logs. Looks like that should cover pre and post fix.

dlebu · 2019-05-07T23:56:39Z

Thanks for the logs! @setaskin Can you take a look?

I am having the same, or similar issue as the original poster. I tried deleting the extension folder ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-1.0.488 out of the way but my VSCode still just hangs with the Source Control side panel with the overlayed clock on it. And it never finishes synchronizing with GitHub, in my case. My VSCode version is 1.33.1 on Windows 10. I run it portably, zip file, no installation although I doubt that is relevant.

I've gone ahead and downloaded v. 1.36 and also running it portably, not an actual install. I copied over all of the extensions and user-data folder from the v. 1.33.1 data folder and when I run v. 1.36 it launches fine and then I am told the extension host has unexpectedly terminated or something to that effect. I choose the option to Restart the Extension Host and things are back to normal and working as they should be.

How does one Restart the Extension Host manually? I am curious to see if doing so in v. 1.33.1 of VSCode will also "unclog" it?

Thank you fellas!

I'm also seeing a similar hang at:

Downloading dependencies...: Finishing VSLS Audio Installation (downloading)...

I tried removing the extension directory and reinstalling, but no dice there.

I've encountered the same issue and solved it by uninstalling (rm -rf $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Code && rm -rf $HOME/.vscode && rm -fr /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app) and reinstalling VSCode, then adding the live share extension

PowerWeb5 · 2019-09-10T00:26:10Z

Like @humbienri mentioned in #2071 (comment), I too have encountered Extension Host termination on VSCode startup.

However, it occurs every time Live Share gets updated (and even with Live Share Audio disabled) for many months now, and even with Windows 10 x64 (instead of Linux) in my case.

Related Issues to Upvote for Fixing Root Cause in VS Code

I've detailed this further at microsoft/vscode#80165 and described how this appears to be a trend affecting many extensions and needing some core Extension Host-level fixes, in microsoft/vscode#79782, and the need for extension isolation in microsoft/vscode#52116.

Please upvote and comment on those 3 core VSCode issue reports/requests if believe that this is something that the VSCode core team should prioritize in fixing the root cause (vs. many extension-specific temporary workarounds, considering how many other extensions are affected and the 800+ bug reports across them related to this).

Also comment/upvote if you believe that VSCode should improve logging (so can actually identify the extension causing the crash), auto restart the extension host when occurs, and/or implement extension isolation (like I'd proposed in microsoft/vscode#79782) to avoid crashing all extensions when it does occur.

I had the same issue with Insiders build on Windows 10. Removing the .vscode-insiders/extensions folder resolved the issue for me.

I'm also stuck. Deleting the folder and reinstalling did not work. The log reads:

Same issue. Here is the log.

LuizZ-CSS · 2020-04-12T07:40:54Z

The same issue on Windows 10, appears again even if have deleted .vscode\extension. I have tried using ctrl + shift + p to gain the logs, but the vscode says

Command 'Live Share: Export Logs' resulted in an error (command 'liveshare.exportLogs' not found)

dlebu · 2020-04-13T21:46:34Z

@SaltedFishLZ-870 , please try deleting the global storage location and try installing again. See the comment here: #180 (comment) . The equivalent folder on windows is [OSdrive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare\

hrmazloumi · 2020-06-03T20:20:45Z

Hi
I tried the "delete and reinstall" solution and it didn't work. Still stuck in downloading dependencies.
vs live share parts of json file for user and workspace are :
"liveshare.accountProvider": "microsoft",
"liveshare.account": "my Microsoft email address"

Closing this as a duplicate of #180.

installing a previous version helped me. windows 10 .

still facing this issue till today on windows
I can't seem to find solutions here on the internet also

Same here I'm on windows 10.

tabokie · 2022-05-09T10:02:02Z

@lostintangent I don't think this issue should be closed. Even if it shares the same root cause as #180 (which I failed to see from the context here), it shows a different symptom.
