Can you reproduce the problem when you start with extension disabled code --disable-extensions?

[euk-anthonyb]

I'm not able to disable extensions. I can't run any commands. Not even with 1.17.11 release that I just installed.

[egamma]

@euk-anthonyb sorry I was not clear. I meant, exit VS Code then start VS Code from the command line with this command line argument.

[euk-anthonyb]

Oh, I see.... Tried the command line but nothing happens.

[FeiX01]

the same issue after run the code --disable-extensions

[lxoxo00a]

I finally solve the problome , just add git.exe into the settings.json. (Install the GOW https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow to use commend "where git.exe" in cmd.

My OS is Win10;
My error was like this:

In my computer ,it was the VSCode cannot detect installed Git led to the error.

[bpasero]

@euk-anthonyb @FeiX01 is git.exe on your path? @joaomoreno fyi, not sure if you have heard the extension host crashing when git.exe is not found?

[joaomoreno]

@bpasero Yes I have a few issues like that though I was never able to reproduce... no matter how hard I try. #32739 #34692

[joaomoreno]

@euk-anthonyb @jkvon What is the language of your Windows installation?

[euk-anthonyb]

@bpasero: I've asked IT but I have not yet heard back from them. Is there a quick way to see if git.exe is on my path?

[euk-anthonyb]

@joaomoreno: My Windows language is English.

[ravinsinghd]

Extension host stop working.txt

facing same problem (1.17.2) . attached my console log

[joaomoreno]

@euk-anthonyb @ravinsinghd @jkvon @gosongs If you open a command prompt, can you show me the values of the following environment variables:

• ProgramW6432
• ProgramFiles(x86)
• ProgramFiles

---

@ravinsinghd Is the issue fixed if you install Git?

[ravinsinghd]

@joaomoreno I have git installed already. please find the output for the commend

[joaomoreno]

And where is git installed?

If you go into VSCode's installation directory and move away extensions\git does the issue still reproduce?

[ravinsinghd]

you want me to remove this folder?

[joaomoreno]

Yes, just move it away temporarily. Then, try to see if the issue comes up.

[ravinsinghd]

@joaomoreno after moved the git folder that issue not came. i worked almost 8hrs not facing problem.

[ravinsinghd]

@joaomoreno that issue occur again. i uninstall most of my extensions still it's occur.

[ravinsinghd]

Did you guys found root cause? In anyway we can help ?
if you want any logs or something I am ready to share. past 2 weeks working with code become horrible experience.

[joaomoreno]

So. It is definitely the git extension right? If the folder is there you have the issue, if it's not then you don't. Right?

Is there any way we can do a remote screen sharing session? Let me know a good time for you.

[ravinsinghd]

@joaomoreno I am not sure it's git. because now i don't have git folder still the problem happen.i am happy to share screen. let me suitable time for you and how to share I will share

[PixelT]

I have this same issue on macOS

[joaomoreno]

[euk-anthonyb]

Hi guys, I've been out of the office for a while.

Here are my cmd prompt environmental variables:

Manually removing the git resource from the VS Code extensions directory has no effect.

Sorry to say this, but I'm too busy to troubleshoot this at work any further. I'm now falling back to Atom for my daily tasks.

Let me know when you find a fix.

[ravinsinghd]

@euk-anthonyb can you let me know what are the extensions you are using?. will compare your list with me, will see if any common extension. may be that give some clue.

[ravinsinghd]

@joaomoreno as you suggest i am disabling my extensions one by one and checking if the issue happen
I disabled Beautify extension. After that also error happen. so Beautify OK.

Next will try disable angular language service

[joaomoreno]

Bringing in @alexandrudima. People remove the git extension and still have the problem. So this seems to be something else.

@ravinsinghd's crash is an out of memory one.

[alexdima]

@joaomoreno I'm sorry can you point out which of the 5 distinct reports experience a crash after removing the built-in git extension? I can then start a new issue / thread and investigate what is the root cause. Because I love investigating code not written by me running in the extension host ❤️

[joaomoreno]

@euk-anthonyb Can you try out this build? Do you still have the same issue?

[ravinsinghd]

@joaomoreno I can reproduce the problem by enable and disable Angular Language Service extension

[joaomoreno]

OK @ravinsinghd. Good to know. Please file an issue to that extension. But for now let us focus on @euk-anthonyb's problem.

[euk-anthonyb]

I was finally able to get the Insiders app installed (IT had a huge backlog of requests) but unfortunately, it does not fare any better than the standard version. :(

[euk-anthonyb]

For some strange reason, this version of the Insiders build now works without incident. :)
