[Windows 11] Unable to see Response in Response windows till I save the response in a file

[ppgovekar]

• REST Client Version: v0.24.6
• VSCode Version: 1.64.2
• OS Version: Windows 11 21H2 (OS Build 22000.493)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Try out Rest Client on Windows 11 and send some request.
2. Response page is shown as blank with Response(xxx ms) in title.
3. If I reinstall VS code, everything works normal for the first time but on next restart again same issue is seen.

Is this a known issue? Is there any workaround to get response other than saving it to a file?

sorry no solution but I have the same problem

I am runing vscode in a docker and get the same result. But if I click on save in the empty response-tab all info shows up in the saved file.

Same here, two years later ^^ With VSCode running in https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server/

My Dockerfile :

FROM gitpod/openvscode-server:latest

Bypassed it by adding these options :

"rest-client.previewOption": "exchange",
"rest-client.previewResponseInUntitledDocument": "true"
