Source Control tab auto refresh changes broken

[TouqeerH]

Issue Type: Bug

Source control changes are not auto updating. I have to press Refresh icon for them to update.

VS Code version: Code 1.67.0 (57fd6d0195bb9b9d1b49f6da5db789060795de47, 2022-05-04T12:06:02.889Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22000 Restricted Mode: No Remote OS version: Linux x64 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2 Remote OS version: Linux x64 5.10.16.3-microsoft-standard-WSL2

@TouqeerH, I see that you are using VS Code with WSL. Are you opening a folder/workspace that is hosted on the Windows file system (ex: /mnt/...) or a folder/workspace that is hosted on the Linux file system. As of right now, there is a known issue with WSL where file system event for files hosted on the Windows file system are not being delivered which the SCM viewlet relies on. Until the WSL team addresses this issue, the only workaround is to either store the files on the Linux file system, or to manually hit the refresh button.

I am seeing this bug intermittently as well

[lszomoru]

@pokey, could you also please answer this question? Thanks!

[pokey]

@pokey, could you also please answer this question? Thanks!

I'm on a Mac, so I don't think that question applies to me, unless I'm misunderstanding?

[lszomoru]

@pokey, in case you are able to reproduce it would be great to create a recording (https://gifcap.dev) to investigate further.

[pokey]

To be honest, I'm not seeing this much anymore. Maybe @TouqeerH is able to reproduce it reliably?

[lszomoru]

@pokey, thanks for the update. I will go ahead and close this issue for now. @TouqeerH, please feel free to reopen the issue in case you are still able to reproduce it. Thanks!

[pokey]

This issue seems to have reappeared after I got a new MacBook. It does not happen consistently, and switching applications does seem to trigger a refresh. Which makes it impossible to record a GIF, unfortunately, because when I switch to my GIF recorder and back to VSCode it will have refreshed

I don't seem to be able to reopen this issue

[lszomoru]

@pokey, I went ahead and re-opened the issue for you, but in order for me to investigate the issue it would be great if you could narrow down a set of steps that you can use to reproduce the issue. Then, we can collect some additional information order to try to track down the root cause. Thanks!

[pokey]

Thank you. So far I haven't been able to identify a consistently reproducible case; seems to be pretty intermittent. I'll try my best to come up with something though

[pokey]

It seems to be happening fairly consistently right now. Is there some specific info I can provide to help you debug this one? Fwiw if I focus another application and then focus VSCode again, it refreshes

[lszomoru]

@pokey, apologies for not getting back to you on this. Assuming that you are still able to reproduce this issue consistently you can enable trace logging as described in this wiki and share the file watcher logs as well as the contents of the git output window. Hopefully that will help us further investigate the issue. Thanks!

This issue has been closed automatically because it needs more information and has not had recent activity. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!

Here is the requested information. In the following, I deleted a character and then saved a file, and the git view still displayed no changed files. Here was the requested output during that time:

It would be great if you could reopen this issue. Thank you for your help

[pokey]

@lszomoru any update on this one?

[lszomoru]

@pokey, apologies for not getting back to you on this until now. From the data that you have shared it seems that the file-system even has fired by VS Code, and it has reached the git extension (last line). I just looked at the code and noticed that the "Source Control" view will not automatically refresh if you have the git.autorefresh setting disabled. Could you check whether that is set in your user/remote settings? Thank you!

[lszomoru]

Closing this issue due to inactivity.
