Auto-import issue on client side during Liveshare

[glafarge]

An issue has been encountered with the auto-import feature during a Liveshare session on the client side. The autocompletion popup appears, but upon selection of one of the suggestions, the import is not being added, and a silent error is being triggered. The feature is working properly on the host side.

The issue has been encountered on JavaScript projects and it appears to also be the case with Java, as reported in issue #3108.

Below is a comparison of the local session versus the remote one :

Local

• Product and Version : VSCode 1.74.3
• OS Version : Windows 10
• Live Share Extension Version : 1.0.5803

Remote

• Product and Version : VSCode 1.74.3
• OS Version : Windows 11
• Live Share Extension Version : 1.0.5803

---

In both sessions, suggestions are correctly identified. However, an error is being triggered on the remote session when suggestion selected :

Could I help to investigate this issue ?

I don't have a direct solution, but I found a way to make it less painful. After selecting one of the suggestions you can use the "quick fix..." function ( ⌘ + . ) to complete the auto-import.
