Activating extension #4229

Closed Dhruv984 closed 2 years ago

Dhruv984 commented 3 years ago

I had not used VS Live Share in a while, but attempted to use it today only to learn that it does not work. In the VS Code "Live Share" tab, if I select any of the three "Join collaboration session...", "Start collaboration session...", or "Start read-only collaboration session..." links, nothing happens. If I click on the "Start Collaboration Session (Share)" icon at the top of the tab, I see an error notification pop up in the bottom right saying: command 'liveshare.startFromActivityBar' not found.

Installation of the VS code extension works normally, but nothing works after.

Looking at the logs:

Error when starting the extension

SIMILAR ISSUE PLEASE HELP.

alyssajotice commented 3 years ago

Hey @Dhruv984 and @mfouesneau, sorry about the issue you're having and thanks for reaching out to Live Share. Can you start by trying Live Share on the most recent Insiders build? https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/ Another thing to try is running the command Live Share: Repair Installation from the command palette. Sometimes these errors happen when the agent is not properly activating. Can you check your activity monitor to see if there is a program running called 'vsls-agent'?

mfouesneau commented 3 years ago

I used the repair installation mentioned by @alyssajotice, it worked. I did not try the insider's build.

This solution should be pinned/promoted. I never saw this command anywhere.

Davsterl commented 3 years ago

@Dhruv984 , please let us know if the repair functionality is working well for you as well.

Dhruv984 commented 3 years ago

mfouesneau commented 2 years ago

Did you try the repair installation call?

frankenstein91 commented 2 years ago

@mfouesneau more than one time :( also reinstalled vscode from AUR and the plug-in from the market place

I have the same error as you post in arch linux. But I have some other errors showed before: 

Globalization.Invariant` to true if you want to run with no globalization support.at System.Environment.FailFast(System.String)

My workaround is setting DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1 in env and after that live share works.

frankenstein91 commented 2 years ago

@ndxx can you please tell my where you set it for code? Global or in the starter?

gncnpk commented 2 years ago

@frankenstein91 I did DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1 code in my terminal to get Live Share working.

xgungnir commented 2 years ago

@frankenstein91 For me I just set it in .profile file with export. You can also set it in your .bashrc or .zshrc as well.

It seems that vscode with this extension does not read the icu package which has been already installed. I have no idea about the root cause of it. https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=icu

Couldn't find a valid ICU package installed on the system. Set the configuration flag System.Globalization.Invariant to true if you want to run with no globalization support.
