[VSCode] Corrupted install of the Live Share extension #180
Comments
I've been having issues where my coworkers couldn't connect to my share - see #179. I then saw this post, uninstalled the extension and re-installed. My coworker (ticket filer for #179) was then able to connect successfully. Contents of ~/.vscode/extensions before uninstall:

One surprising oddity that I noticed: when I went to the extensions tab I searched "live share" expecting to see the extension with a gear icon. However it appeared with an install icon. I had to remove my search, uninstall the extension from the list of installed extensions, reload, then install the "VS Live Share" extension again. It appeared as though my local VS Live Share was treated completely independent of the VS Live Share in the marketplace. |
In this case where you trying to install/update to |
Was in the same situation but I don't even see the login button in the status bar. I tried disabling all extensions, uninstalling and reinstalling the share extensions while cleaning up its folder in the |

We just released v0.2.399 that should provide some improvements in this space. It would be interesting to hear if anyone hits this again with this update. |
My friend is trying to connect to my live server session, and he is using VSC on Linux with the latest version v0.2.399. However, he is still facing this issue: Error:Error converting value "local" to type 'Microsoft.Cascade.Contracts.ConnectionMode'. Path '[0].connectionMode'. Steps to Reproduce:

@AkshayKalose when I encountered this issue it was the host, not the guest that needed an update, what versions is your extension at?
|
@codycraven I reinstalled to the latest version of VS Live Share on my computer, and this error disappeared on my friend's computer. Thanks! I use Windows 10, and here are the extensions I have in my folder (this was after the reinstall / but I assume it should be the same before reinstall since I didn't get any new extensions): |
Fresh install today of VS code and Live Share is the only extension so far on this new CentOS computer. Ran into issues with open file limits that kept crashing Live Share so I increased the ulimits and restarted the computer then this starts happening. |
Any permanent fix yet? I uninstalled and reinstalled, but the error persists. |
@korede360 what OS you running? And could you try deleting any live share related extensions from these folders and trying again? Windows %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions |
Worked at first... But no... It's back! "An update or installation of VS Live Share failed due to a corrupted download. Please uninstall and reinstall the extension to resolve. See https://aka.ms/vsls-corrupted-install for more details." |
@korede360 Do you know of anything unique or different about your setup that would lead to us having trouble unpacking files? |
A friend of mine has the same issue on Windows 7. When he first tried to install the extension, VS Code asked him to install .NET Framework 4.6.1 This took quite a while (~ 20mins) and after that was finished he reloaded VS Code and got the error. After uninstalling the extension, there were still VS Live Share files in the I hope this is helpful for finding the Issue |
I had a prompt pop up from the extension saying it was corrupted with a link to this issue. However, uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin did not cause it to go away. After some thought and searching around, I suspect that the issue is that my laptop is a 32 bit laptop (running archlinux32) and 32 bit linux does not appear to be a supported architecture for this extension. You may want to pop up a more informative dialog than 'this extension appears to be corrupted' in that case. Otherwise, if 32 bit linux is intended to be a supported architecture, then it may help to note that in your documentation. |

I see this consistently trying to instlal live share on a remote ssh host. Reinstalling does not work. eamodio.gitlens-9.9.1 |
you ever get live share to work with remote-ssh? |
I also tried to reinstall it on a Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian with Remote Development Extension.

@Twiggeh this comment from @ByPaco10 made me try install some older version of ICU package, and it worked. |

@FireMasterK try installing |
That did the trick, thanks! |
it didn't work out,still the same issuse |
Same here. |
What we going to do about it |
it works fine now tho |
I have installed VSCode on 2 distros and still, it just doesn't work |
I'm running into this. Uninstall/reinstall doesn't work. Maybe it has to do with this MacBook Air running on the new Apple M2 chip. How can I verify? |
I'm on an M2 Macbook and Live Share Audio is not working at all, I've tried reinstall, and nothing is working. Probably has something to do with the fact that the Audio extension hasn't been updated in years? |
@jramsay ,do you still own the audio area. If so, can you take a look at this ? |
Same error here on a MacBook Pro M1
|
It magically got fixed for me... |
We're unable to prioritize fixes to this area as we re-evaluate our priorities and product direction. We understand that this maybe disappointing. We appreciate your input and comments on this issue till now. We will soon be sunsetting this feature and will work towards a better use experience for communication needs for Live Share users from the editor. |
There is currently a known issue with VS Code that can result in a state where the Live Share extension can be corrupted. The current fix is to uninstall the Live Share extension and reinstall it again. If this doesn't fix your issue please, let us know.
If you do run into this issues, before reinstalling, if you could let us know what VSLS extensions exist in the VS Code install location and what files are any VSLS extension folders that do exist, that would be great!
#112 is a specific example of this general class of problem.
