Hey stackoverflow community i have an issue with vscode connecting to wsl2 with the following error [picture bellow] message i already searched for hours and couldnt find a solution.
reinstalled both with a clean updated version without any success
Edit 1:Tried to unmount and remount folders also tried opening with high privilege's from cmd 'wsl code .' moreover i completely deleted wsl and vscode with all the extensions but still am getting the same error, i was able to reproduce more readable error, when opening a project it prompts with
unable to resolve resource vscode-re...://%ubuntu-22.04/file_path
Edit 2: opening WSL, 'New WSL window using distro' works fine but i cant open any directory, without it producing the error in Edit 1
I got the same issue. I use Windows and I open the folder in vscode in this way:
shift+right-click the folder -> open linux shell -> type in "code ."
when vscode opens, the error does not exist.
For me this was due to the secondary sidebar being visible.
After disabling it via View -> Appearance -> Secondary Side Bar, WSL2 starts up fine again.
I got the same.
If your project is on another drive mount it and
run vscode as administrator.
I had this issue and needed to run..
$ code

in WSL2 to update the WSL2 server. Then uninstalling and reinstalling the WSL extension from VSCode did the trick.
I am the same.
I also reinstalled VSCode and Docker, but nothing changed.
In the "Remote - Containers" tutorial, I was able to connect without any problems.
It doesn't work with my code.
I am getting an error while installing vscode. It is showing "An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the destination directory". vscode is not installing becauenter image description herese of this problem. Can anyone solve this error?
I also had the same issue when installing VS code. It seems that it is a general issue happening for any software installation when any of files are quarantined by anti virus programs running during the installation. (Reference: https://forum.greenheartgames.com/t/move-file-failed-code-2-during-installation/6174 https://www.asap-utilities.com/faq-questions-answers-detail.php?m=334)
In my case, I just disabled the antivirus program temporarily during the installation and the issue get resolved during my next attempt of VS code installation.
I set up Windows Terminal using Ubuntu 20.04 and it was working great. I was able to access Visual Studio Code until I began receiving errors. VSC is my bread-and-butter to coding through WSL2 so can anybody help me with this error? (I have not done any updates to VSC or Ubuntu 20.04. This just happened 30 minutes ago.)
My VSC error is this:
/c/Users/Owner/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code: 61: /c/Users/Owner/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe: not found
I dug through the location of the code file of my computer and went to line 61 of the error of where it is coming from:
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 "$ELECTRON" "$CLI" "$#"
exit $?
Would anybody know if anyone has experienced this issue? I would appreciate any help!
I restarted my computer and it seems to be working now. I always put my computer in Sleep so not sure if the system needs to be turned off. Hope this helps anyone out there.
I have been looking around and I haven't found any answers to my issue.
I keep getting this error "Extension host terminated unexpectedly." and I have tried removing all of my extensions, reinstalling the program, trying different versions of vscode including the insider versions.
The way I get this isssue isn't from trying to use the debugger or trying to use some sort of extension, as I said before I removed all of them and the error keeps on coming back, it's simply from opening the application. I'm not entirely sure how to continue? I have had to use another editor because the error just doesn't go away. I will just have to wait for another update of Visual Studio Code I assume? I've had the issue since tuesday this week, guessing since the latest update.
Above is the error message I get. It is closed by esc but reappears very shortly after, every time.
When I open developer tools, this is what I find in the console.
Running vscode from command prompt with Code.exe --disable-extensions doesn't help.
Visual Studio Code version: 1.16.1
I appreciate any help.
Linking my github issue on Microsoft/vscode as reference
I had the same error after updating vsc to v. 1.31.0.
Disabling Live Server Extension worked for me.
Here's the error i'm getting having the extension enabled.
I started getting this error when vscode automatically updated to March 2020 (version 1.44). I have tried various suggestions given in the forum and over the internet but none of them worked.
What worked for me: I downloaded January 2020 (version 1.42) build from https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_42 and ran over the previous installation without uninstalling and surprisingly, the error disappeared and all extensions are loading and working properly.
I tried following things and non of them worked:
I disabled all the installed extension from GUI.
uninstalled all the extension and installed again.
removed the left-over extensions from Windows %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions.
tried launching from the command prompt with --disable-extensions option.
Linking my github issue on Microsoft/vscode as reference.
It ended up being one of the base extensions that runs on startup that was the root of the problem.
In my case the git in extensions folder was causing it.
"git.enabled": false was not doing the trick so I had to remove the git folder altogether for the error to disappear.
In my case, I used typescript-hero extension. Disabling this extension fixed my problem.
It's temporal fix but maybe will help somebody.
I disabled all the extensions with name Live for example Live Server, Live Share etc and restarted my vscode again and it worked for me.
For me this was happening due to HTML CSS Support extension. so i removed it and restarted vs code and voila! it worked!
I had to uninstall few extensions related to Java (debugger for java, Test runner for java, extension pack for java etc) to make the error go away.
Click on the developer tool option that popups and see if it has the extension which is causing this error.
I got same issue and it was because of Color Highlight Extension. I just uninstalled Color Highlight Extension and its working fine and NO ERROR.
Me too. My failure has no "Code":
Extension host terminated unexpectedly. Code: null Signal: SIGABRT
MessageService.ts
I recently ran into the same error message after accepting a permission to run a program on the extension livepreview. It corrupted all other extensions where it could not find the commands. I deleted all extension files and reinstalled the other extensions without a problem. I tried liveserver again but It never prompted me again for permissions and still, the error message keeps occurring. I'm assuming liveserver was trying to ask the computer permission to run a local server after which is still accepted but something else is interfering with the computer being able to translate from the program to actually building and accessing the local server.
In my case, the live server extension was causing this issue in 1.31.0v of VS Code. After uninstalling the extension it started working correctly.
In my case it was from the extension "Todo Tree". It was breaking on a particularly large file in my project (13.7mb), with the error saying the file was over the max-size for a node-buffer (used by the C regex matcher).
Resolved the issue by disabling the extension.
I also opened an issue for it here: https://github.com/Gruntfuggly/todo-tree/issues/135
I had same problem with following error in my VSCode console.
`1: node::DecodeWrite
2: node::InternalCallbackScope::Close
3: v8::internal::VirtualMemory::TakeControl
4: v8::internal::PerThreadAssertScope<4,1>::PerThreadAssertScope<4,1>
5: v8::internal::operator<<
6: v8::internal::operator<<
7: 00000073ECF04481`
I solved it by uninstalling Angular Console extension. Not sure if it was that particular extension or some other memory issue but problem went away as soon as I uninstalled that.
Remove all Extensions which are located in a per user extensions folder. Depending on your platform, the location is in the following folder:
Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
macOS
~/.vscode/extensions
Linux ~/.vscode/extensions
Restart vscode and start installing extensions.
I am not sure why this caused , but the Antivirus was throwing popups that something like extensionprocess.js file was repaired.
Disabled the Antivirus and re-installed Vscode and it was back to normal.
Hope this helps.
Here is what helped me:
Ctrl+Shift+P --> type: "Disable"
and click Disable all installed extensions
(alternatively click Disable all installed extensions for this Workspace)
Then go to extensions panel on the left and re-enable slowly those that you really need.
See which extension (or their combination) triggers that error.
It will be highly appreciated which extenstion/combination you'll find guilty as there may be several of them, and different in time...
for me, it was code runner extension I just disabled it.
I am running into an issue with Visual Studio code where i could not able to launch it in Windows 8.1. It is working fine untill few days back. Even though it shows two processes named Code 32 bit are running in Task Manager, i cannot see the VSCode UI. I tried going to folder and right click and click on Open with Code, but no luck.
Even after uninstall and installing the VSCode also, i am running into same issue. Does anyone face this issue before?
Is there a way i can clean uninstall VSCode and re install?
Thanks,
Phani
Did you try AppData\Local\Code\bin\code.cmd ?
vscode is running by update.exe
