Failed to start server, will try again in 10 seconds

[merefield]

Hey, thank you for this extremely useful plug-in!

I'm having problems though! This was working, but then broke on a re-save of the user settings file.

Getting this repeatedly:

"Failed to start server, will try again in 10 seconds}"

In dev console is see this:

[Extension Host] [2018-02-21 10:06:31.390] [TRACE] Server - start true

Getting this repeated message. I know its not a machine-wide problem because Atom has a similar plug-in and this is working.

My settings are:

{
//-------- Remote VSCode configuration --------

// Port number to use for connection.
"remote.port": 52698,

// Launch the server on start up.
"remote.onstartup": true,

// Address to listen on.
"remote.host": "**MY-REMOTE-IP**",

// If set to true, error for remote.port already in use won't be shown anymore.
"remote.dontShowPortAlreadyInUseError": false,
}

btw, I note that equivalent for atom.io, https://atom.io/packages/remote-atom, doesn't require a host IP, thoughts? I'm not having any issue with the Atom implementation and rmate correctly brings up the remote file. I'm careful to close Atom before retrying VS Code (and in any case this occurred before I installed remote-atom in my copy of Atom).

You don't need to set the "remote.host". Remove it from your User Settings or set it to

  // Address to listen on.
  "remote.host": "127.0.0.1",

[merefield]

That fixed it, thank you for your swift response!

I'm having the same issue, and my remote host is set to 127.0.0.1. It reporting the same error "Failed to start server, will try again in 10 seconds"

Restarting my machine fixed it.
