[settingssync] [error] Error: XHR failed

[sba923]

Issue Type: Bug

On one of my Windows 10 machines, I cannot enable Settings Sync in VS Code.

I get:

[2021-10-25 09:30:46.982] [settingssync] [error] Error: XHR failed at XMLHttpRequest.b.onerror (vscode-file://vscode-app/c:/Users/steph/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft%20VS%20Code%20Insiders/resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/sharedProcess/sharedProcessMain.js:21:24141) [2021-10-25 09:30:46.995] [settingssync] [info] Extensions: Stopped synchronizing extensions.

The same error occurs with VS Code Insiders (using the Stable sync service).

VS Code version: Code 1.61.2 (6cba118ac49a1b88332f312a8f67186f7f3c1643, 2021-10-19T14:57:20.575Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042 Restricted Mode: No

Can you please provide the error in detail - you can get that by following these steps:

• Open Shared Process - F1 > Developer: Toggle Shared Process

Get the errors from console tab and network tab

Well... I hate to say, but when capturing this, Settings Sync worked...

What can've happened?

[sandy081]

Not sure why it didn't work before (could be network issue or service is down), unless we have logs. Anyways since it is working now, I would close this. Please reopen it if you get the error again with the necessary logs
