vscode-ibmi Filters returning nothing in object browser

Hi

Using 2.6.0 to 2.6.5 results in not being able to see source file members in the filters - they try to expand and I see nothing. Rolled back to 2.5 and it works fine (hence why below it says we are using 2.5.0) - hope that helps isolate when the issue started.

I have enableSQL off in both versions.

OUTPUT from 2.5:

Please share the entire contents of your Code for IBM i output channel after the list doesn't appear in the version that does not work.

Cheers Liam

@RobMKH So you're able to switch between these versions on the same system and it's easy to recreate that one version works and one doesn't?

Jan 26 '24 16:01 worksofliam

@worksofliam

Yep - If I have 2.6.5 installed it doesn't work, roll back to 2.5.0 in the extensions, re-load and it works.

Jan 26 '24 16:01 RobMKH

Okay. Can you get us full output (not screenshots) from both 2.6.5 and 2.5.0?

Jan 26 '24 17:01 worksofliam

@worksofliam

Apologies - I'm probably being a bit dense here. The complete output was in the 2 code sections in the original post. If I'm missing anything or a way to make it more verbose the please advise and I'll do it.

Jan 26 '24 17:01 RobMKH

@RobMKH Yes, we also need all the initial logs from when the connection is made. Simply selecting all and copying will grab it all.

Jan 26 '24 18:01 worksofliam

@worksofliam

output 2.5.0.txt output 2.6.5.txt

Jan 26 '24 18:01 RobMKH

@RobMKH With 2.6.5, before connecting, would you mind right clicking on your connection and selecting 'Reload and Connect'? Please also collect all the output again. Thanks!

Jan 26 '24 18:01 worksofliam

@worksofliam

output 2.6.5 reload and connect.txt

Jan 26 '24 19:01 RobMKH

@RobMKH After connecting with 2.6.5, any chance you can copy+paste your developer console log?

To get to this:

Go to help
Select Toggle Developer Console
New panel opens up to the side
Select the Console tab
Copy and paste everything in the console

Hi @worksofliam

Hope you're well.

Did you manage to discover anything with regards to this issue?

Feb 28 '24 09:02 RobMKH

Hey @worksofliam

I think I finally got to the bottom of this and it might help someone else with a similar issue.

Our SSHD server was running under a different user profile to QSECOFR and it would appear that profile didn't have enough auth to do all the things required by the commands VSC/Code for i issues, even down to reporting a bad QCCSID which wasn't correct.

However, when I restarted it "correctly" using STRTCPSVR *SSHD it still didn't work. More digging lead me to the system profile QSSHD being disabled. It needs to be enabled if you're going to run SSHD under QSECOFR (and maybe generally).

So the long and short of it is check your SSHD server is running properly - which I now have done.

Liam - feel free to mark this as closed and thanks for your help. I wonder if there's a mod you could consider including that would verify the SSHD service is running/auth'ing as expected?

Jul 02 '24 08:07 RobMKH

@RobMKH What method would you use the check to see if the SSHD is running/auth'ing as expected? Some SQL method perhaps?
