So you are using Debian sid and VS Code insiders edition?

mingli-ts commented 5 years ago

Yes exactly. I have tried on two Chromebooks, one with Linux app, one with crouton, and one regular Linux box. All the same.

dlech commented 5 years ago

You need to have the avahi-daemon package installed and running.

mingli-ts commented 5 years ago

I'll give it a try tonight. Meanwhile can you please add this to the installation instructions? A lot of school kids are using Chromebook to run vscode. They might be trouble by this. Thanks

I had the same issue as mentioned and @dlech recommendation works.

dlech commented 5 years ago

Should be fixed in v1.0.4. The extension will now fall back to a (buggy) native javascript implementation of mDNS. Installing avahi is still preferred since it will give better results.
