Connect Locally

It doesn’t connect successfully (same error message)

->

I have several extensions which depend on remote SSH extension and some users are failing to connect because of it. This issue was reported before https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/197512 We could apply similar workaround on our side, but it looks like a bug.

Expected Behavior

The remote SSH extension shoudl not activate twice, regardless of dependencies.

Steps To Reproduce

I'm confused about how you end up triggering this error. Can you explain some more what the extensions do?

[roblourens]

I tried adding remote-ssh as an extensionDependency to an extension, and I don't see the issue, what do you mean by 'depend on remote SSH'?

[akosyakov]

@roblourens it seems to trigger only on Windows and if there are several extensions depending on remote-ssh are activated in the remote window. Yes via extensionDependencies. Maybe timing of extension activation is matter too, for ours it was with onResolveRemoteAuthority:ssh-remote activation event.

[roblourens]

I'll try it, but using onResolveRemoteAuthority:ssh-remote may not work, it's sort of a special activation event for resolvers. And these extensions are on the remote side? Remote-SSH is a local extension, maybe that's part of the problem too.
