VS Code Integration Broken

[l-oneil]

Describe the bug The July 27th Release appears to have broken my interaction with VS Code + colab_ssh..

I'm not sure whether this release was required to fix something that had changed on VS Code / Colab side? I have set up my repo exactly as described in your instructions - I have used this colab script 100's of times and it's always worked - it broke on 27th.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: From Colab click either "open in vs code" or Copy-Paste the https address into VS Code "Open Remote Host"

Expected behavior I'd expect it to connect to colab via SSH

Screenshots Here's the view from VS Code:

SSH Log before it times out:

I realise this is likely more an issue on VS Code side, it looks like it's struggling to aquire the lock required to download the .vscode-server package on the remote.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Ok, to follow up this answer has helped me: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/4138#issuecomment-738956513

It seems that the lock that VS Code is trying to aquire here:

[13:43:37.243] Acquiring local install lock: /var/folders/m7/y15hbqns7v5gbmb9ycqrkf7w0000gn/T/vscode-remote-ssh-https:/conversion-city-tones-sewing.trycloudflare.com-install.lock

Is struggling to find the correct path, as it is assuming vscode-remote-ssh-https: is a separate directory due to the / separator.

I have managed to fix the problem by copying in the link without the https:/ into "Connect to Host" e.g. changing this:

https://wright-month-msie-projector.trycloudflare.com

to this, fixed my problem:

wright-month-msie-projector.trycloudflare.com

I think the addition of https in the path to ssh is a new addition added into the July 27th (0.3.17) release? Is this a bug?
