hide errors when remote is not available

[CarloLucibello]

Hi, I use vscode in situations where internet connection is not available or when when the remote server is offline. Is there away to deactivate all the annoying error messages and the terminal popping up?

Bye, Carlo

Maybe we can add a setting to disable all errors.

Just replying here instead of opening a new issue bcz i think its kinda relevant. Every new vscode window tries to open a new server, and gives error port already in use. Is there any way to fix that? No need to try to open another instance of remote-server when its already open. Maybe some kind of secret handshake with specified/default port to determine if port is being used by another instance of remote server or not?

It would be like this,

• If port is available, open a new instance.
• If port is being used, try to communicate and do a handshake, ping etc.. to determine if this is a instance of remote server,
  • If so, don't show error msg,
  • If not, then the port is being used by some other program in the system, show error msg "port is being used".
