SSH: built-in languages disabled

[daiyam]

Hi,

Some built-in languages are disabled with the message This extension is disabled in this workspace because it is defined to run in the Remote Extension Host. Please install the extension in 'SSH: arch' to enable.

I've tried with previous versions of VSCode and Remote SSH and deleting .vscode-server. I tried to add the extensions into remote.SSH.defaultExtensions. I can't figure out where the problem is happening.

• VSCode Version: 1.62.1
• Local OS Version: MacOS
• Remote OS Version: Arch Linux
• Remote Extension/Connection Type: SSH

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: No
Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: No

Hmm that's strange. @roblourens or @sandy081 do you have an idea why language extensions would be disabled?

@daiyam could you also post here the log you see on the Remote-SSH output channel?

[daiyam]

Here log from the output of Remote - SSH: client.log
The log from the log file in .vscode-server: server.log

Here my config:

"remote.SSH.remotePlatform": {
  "arch": "linux"
},

The error in server.log seems to be related to my shell environment which is fish but it did work before.

This issue has been an on and off with each updates

Hmm resolving shell environment failed Error: Unable to resolve your shell environment: could be fixed by microsoft/vscode#136791

Would you be able to try connecting with VS Code Insiders?

[daiyam]

v1.63.0-insider: isn't working
v1.60.0-insider: is working

both with remote-ssh-v0.66.0

I cant repro it and they shall be running on the local side and not on remote side. Can you please try to repro it by running vscode on a fresh user data directory?

I didn't find this issue and I've opened one related at microsoft/vscode:#137117 with some extra info (and some failed attempts to fix it)

I can't reproduce it running a new portable instance of vscode, which is the workaround I'm using to work just now.

@pelayog Thanks for confirming that I'm not the only one having this issue 😉

[daiyam]

After a long investigation, I found out that the issue is due to the extension Control Snippets and when any snippets have been disabled (with the UI > Control Snippets).
With VSCode v1.60.2, no issue.
With v1.61.2, v1.62.0 and v1.62.2, the issue is there.

@pelayog Are you using that extension?

[pelayog]

@daiyam Mm, nope, not that extension. But I do have PHP Language Features extension disabled -in order to use intelephense properly.

At the end, I guess is, at least, related: disabling built-in features throught that extension or manually.

There hasn't been any activity on this issue for awhile and it there doesn't seem to be a consistent repro. @pelayog or @daiyam please let me know if you're still seeing this issue in a new issue and for now I'll close this one out
