Summary:

For my authorized org for a given project, when I right click on my project/lwc/apex class, and select Deploy source to org, a pop up comes up stating that the command is running but it keeps running forever but nothing gets deployed. Steps To Reproduce:

Authorize an org. Right click any component/project that you wish to deploy and click SFDX : Deploy source to org. The pop up comes us saying Running SFDX: Deploy Source to Org and it run forever. In the command-line output as well, it doesn't indicates that the deployment has started but it is in pending state for a long time.

Expected result

It should deploy my selected changes to my authorized org.

Actual result

The command/action hangs and runs forever and nothing gets deployed.
