[VSCode] Corrupted install of the Live Share extension

[avanderhoorn]

There is currently a known issue with VS Code that can result in a state where the Live Share extension can be corrupted. The current fix is to uninstall the Live Share extension and reinstall it again. If this doesn't fix your issue please, let us know.

If you do run into this issues, before reinstalling, if you could let us know what VSLS extensions exist in the VS Code install location and what files are any VSLS extension folders that do exist, that would be great!

• Windows %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions
• Mac ~/.vscode/extensions
• Linux ~/.vscode/extensions

112 is a specific example of this general class of problem.

I've been having issues where my coworkers couldn't connect to my share - see #179. I then saw this post, uninstalled the extension and re-installed. My coworker (ticket filer for #179) was then able to connect successfully.

One surprising oddity that I noticed: when I went to the extensions tab I searched "live share" expecting to see the extension with a gear icon. However it appeared with an install icon. I had to remove my search, uninstall the extension from the list of installed extensions, reload, then install the "VS Live Share" extension again. It appeared as though my local VS Live Share was treated completely independent of the VS Live Share in the marketplace.

[avanderhoorn]

In this case where you trying to install/update to 0.2.307?

Was in the same situation but I don't even see the login button in the status bar. I tried disabling all extensions, uninstalling and reinstalling the share extensions while cleaning up its folder in the extensions folder. I'm seeing this in vscode insiders but, in regular vscode, where I didn't have the extension installed, it works just fine. Anything I may need to remove manually in some folder?

[codycraven]

@avanderhoorn I didn't record the version when I performed the update, however looking at my extensions output it does appear to be 0.2.307

[Chuxel]

We just released v0.2.399 that should provide some improvements in this space. It would be interesting to hear if anyone hits this again with this update.

[AkshayKalose]

My friend is trying to connect to my live server session, and he is using VSC on Linux with the latest version v0.2.399. However, he is still facing this issue:

Error:

Error converting value "local" to type 'Microsoft.Cascade.Contracts.ConnectionMode'. Path '[0].connectionMode'.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Connect using sharing link

Version Data
extensionName	VSLS
extensionVersion	0.2.399
protocolVersion	2.1
applicationName	VSCode
applicationVersion	1.22.2
platformName	Linux
platformVersion	4.13.0-38-generic

[codycraven]

@AkshayKalose when I encountered this issue it was the host, not the guest that needed an update, what versions is your extension at?

If you do run into this issues, before reinstalling, if you could let us know what VSLS extensions exist in the VS Code install location and what files are any VSLS extension folders that do exist, that would be great!

Windows %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions Mac ~/.vscode/extensions Linux ~/.vscode/extensions

[AkshayKalose]

@codycraven I reinstalled to the latest version of VS Live Share on my computer, and this error disappeared on my friend's computer. Thanks!

I use Windows 10, and here are the extensions I have in my folder (this was after the reinstall / but I assume it should be the same before reinstall since I didn't get any new extensions): EditorConfig.editorconfig-0.12.1 mikestead.dotenv-1.0.1 PeterJausovec.vscode-docker-0.0.25 ms-python.python-2018.2.1 PeterJausovec.vscode-docker-0.0.26 ms-python.python-2018.3.1 WallabyJs.quokka-vscode-1.0.116 ms-vscode.cpptools-0.15.0 WallabyJs.quokka-vscode-1.0.120 ms-vscode.cpptools-0.16.1 castwide.solargraph-0.14.1 ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-0.2.399 castwide.solargraph-0.16.0 octref.vetur-0.11.7 dbaeumer.jshint-0.10.17 rebornix.ruby-0.18.0 dbaeumer.jshint-0.10.18 redhat.java-0.21.0 formulahendry.code-runner-0.9.3 redhat.java-0.23.0 lablup.live-code-runner-4.3.1 ritwickdey.liveserver-3.2.1 lukasz-wronski.ftp-sync-0.3.3

Fresh install today of VS code and Live Share is the only extension so far on this new CentOS computer. Ran into issues with open file limits that kept crashing Live Share so I increased the ulimits and restarted the computer then this starts happening.

[koredefashokun]

Any permanent fix yet? I uninstalled and reinstalled, but the error persists.

[avanderhoorn]

@korede360 what OS you running? And could you try deleting any live share related extensions from these folders and trying again?

Windows %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions Mac ~/.vscode/extensions Linux ~/.vscode/extensions

[koredefashokun]

Worked at first... But no... It's back!

"An update or installation of VS Live Share failed due to a corrupted download. Please uninstall and reinstall the extension to resolve. See https://aka.ms/vsls-corrupted-install for more details."

[avanderhoorn]

@korede360 Do you know of anything unique or different about your setup that would lead to us having trouble unpacking files?

[Fubinator]

A friend of mine has the same issue on Windows 7. When he first tried to install the extension, VS Code asked him to install .NET Framework 4.6.1

This took quite a while (~ 20mins) and after that was finished he reloaded VS Code and got the error. After uninstalling the extension, there were still VS Live Share files in the %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions directory as mentioned above. He deleted the files, reinstalled the extension and has the same problem.

I hope this is helpful for finding the Issue

[kitlith]

I had a prompt pop up from the extension saying it was corrupted with a link to this issue. However, uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin did not cause it to go away. After some thought and searching around, I suspect that the issue is that my laptop is a 32 bit laptop (running archlinux32) and 32 bit linux does not appear to be a supported architecture for this extension.

You may want to pop up a more informative dialog than 'this extension appears to be corrupted' in that case. Otherwise, if 32 bit linux is intended to be a supported architecture, then it may help to note that in your documentation.

I was having this same issue, which I assumed was being caused by my awkward setup. My $VSCODE/User/settings.json and ~/.vscode/extensions folders are both sym-linked from a shared partition on my machine, but a solution above solved it regardless.

For anyone new who encounters this:

1. Uninstall the extension from the marketplace
2. Open a new terminal and run cd ~/.vscode/extensions (%USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions for Windows) to navigate into the containing directory (your directory may live somewhere else if you are an idiot like me who decides to be difficult)
3. Use the command ls to list the contents of your current directory and then look for "ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-x.x.x" (those x's are numbers representing the version)
4. If nothing matching the above is in your folder, I have no words for you. If it does exist, remove it - on mac and Linux, you just need to type rm -r <the name of the file>.
5. Reinstall VS Live Share from the marketplace and then reload VSCode, looking for the "Live Share" indicator in the bottom status bar.
6. Rejoice. Open a beer. And some code.

Got this issue on Windows 10. I've already joined someone's live session before fine, but now when it tries to update it's saying it's corrupted.

Here's my extensions folder:

I'm getting this issue and I have reinstalled only to be met with the same message.

If you do run into this issues, before reinstalling, if you could let us know what VSLS extensions exist in the VS Code install location and what files are any VSLS extension folders that do exist, that would be great!

I understand the first part of what's in the extensions folder but I'm not sure about the second part. I've got too many extensions to write down but here's a screenshot of all of them.

[andremacola]

I am trying to install the live share on a remote server (I am using remote development pack) and I can't find what I am doing wrong. The remote server is 18.04.3 LTS and Local is OSX Mojave

I only have the Live Share and Remote Development pack extension

Edit: Fixed removing all related vscode files in /tmp. For some reason VSCode didn't have permission to change/view some specific files in that folder. So I deleted all and I let vscode creating new files.

Edit2 I think I figure out what happened. I run multiple users (developers) on the same remote server, each one with their own user. Only the first one who enabled the VSCode Live Share after reboot or deleting the VSCode files in /tmp folder is able to use, even if the Live Share is closed. Only the first use is able to reopen the Live Share again.

Edit3 /tmp files on remote server and not on local machine.

Was I clear enough? English is not my primary language.

[Sebbs128]

Received the popup notification in VSCode today. Windows 10 Pro 1903 (10.0.18362), VS Code v1.41.1 (user setup).

VSLS folders in %userprofile%.vscode\extensions:

Reinstall of VSLS appears fine so far. No change to the content of the extensions folder.

[geoffrey4444]

I also have this problem. I run a remote server that multiple users would like to host live sharing on, but only the first user who tries to install it succeeds. The others get the corrupted download error.

Hi! I have the exact same problem! My live share has been working fine til yesterday and all of sudden it's not working. What files exactly did you remove from /.tmp?

[JamesLivengood]

I'm having this problem just as of a couple days ago, on Mac, I have these files in that folder:

ms-mssql.mssql-1.8.0                robinbentley.sass-indented-1.5.1

ms-vscode.vscode-typescript-tslint-plugin-1.2.3 waderyan.gitblame-3.0.1
ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-1.0.1482

I also uninstalled and re-installed the plug-in and getting the same error

[setaskin]

@JamesLivengood , which version of Mac are you using ? ( We don't support Sierra) Linking the issue with #3124

Also, your logs may provide us with helpful information. You can access them via the Live Share: Export Logs command from the command palette (ctrl + shift + p) and attach them to this issue.

[JamesLivengood]

@setaskin I'm on Sierra! That must be the issue, I'll upgrade. Here are my logs in case they'd still be useful: Live Share Logs.zip

I cant remember the specific files right now. I just deleted all files. The folder is on remote server and not in your local machine.

Couldn't reinstall it correctly, started receiving warnings again.

After, same versions.

[vike2000]

If you do run into this issues, before reinstalling, if you could let us know …

Here? I guess:

… what VSLS extensions exist in the VS Code install location …

Using ls -1 ~/.vscode/extensions \@ macos10.13.6 (high sierra)

vangware.dark-plus-material-2.2.3
waderyan.gitblame-3.0.1

All installed from inside VS Code (VSC), except: symbaslikedef-spirits, being an old one of mine (non-public) that just "contributes" one little object per {"commands":…, and "keybindings": …}, so I doubt it'd interfere w/ this issue..

vsls-logs200211.zip

My guess on what caused this would be that my cpu stalled during the prev startup of VSC (and subsequent VSLS upgrade/install every startup), and I "force quit" VSC..

After clicking the extension's uninstall, reload, and install buttons, it works opening a link from a friend.

diff'ing the ls -1 after reinstall, the listings are identical.

PS: I didn't really test anything before uninstall, trusting the notification on corruption.

BTW:

@DanJ210 commented on 27 Nov 2019

[…] let us know what VSLS extensions exist in the VS Code install location and what files are any VSLS extension folders that do exist, that would be great!

I understand the first part of what's in the extensions folder but I'm not sure about the second part. […]

I agree.

Peace.

Reinstalling the previous version fixes it for me on Windows 10.

[MrSonicMaster]

Reinstalling extention, reloading window in various configurations, deleting files located at %userprofile%/.vscode/extentions fails to solve the issue. After every step, restarting and deleting and whatnot, installing live share again still results in a link to this page "https://aka.ms/vsls-corrupted-install." update: The current, latest version of vsls releasted yesterday appears to cause causes this unrepairable and undesirable issue, the developers apparently released a borked version of vsls to the public. Downgrading to the next-latest version solves it instantly in case anyone has issues.

[serverhorror]

I'm seeing this in the Log (Extension Host):

The Live Share extension is the one that needs to be downgraded. You might need to opt out of the Live Share Extension Pack extension and install them one by one.

[brunojuliao]

• Windows %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions

Just one correction: Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions

(it's not a big deal, but if someone try that quickly, will get an error message and might take some time to realize it's just a missing "\".)

[garrettw]

huh? that looks exactly the same

[brunojuliao]

Thanks for pointing that out @garrettw . It seems that "\" + "." gets parsed as just ".". When I doubled the "\" it show up properly. EDIT: It happened again with backslash alone... Had to edit and double it to get displayed.

[frank-dspeed]

@brunojuliao next time use ``` text ```

shows up like this

Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extension
