Thanks. I'm unfortunately unable to repro this. Can you please try getting the full stack of the error:

1. Reproduce the issue
2. In VS Code, run the Developer: Toggle developer tools command in the command palette
3. This should open the Chrome dev tools
4. In the dev tools, open up the console and look for the error message

The full error message and stack should help us figure out what's going on

The errors appear to be

• an auth issue, the OG mentioning a JSON parse fail @TylerLeonhardt
• the telemetry issue wrt the pipeTo-error @lramos15

[lramos15]

The telemetry issue originates from Completions e\extensions\github.copilot-1.190.0\node_modules @devm33

[devm33]

It looks like the auth issue is the main problem blocking extension activation: ERR [Extension Host] [auth] Extension activation failed: "Unexpected token 'o', "[object Rea"... is not valid JSON"

The telemetry error is curious though somehow the Request.body is invalid when it tries to write it out here. But the sendPostFunc restricts the data it accepts from the appinsights library to string if (typeof payload.data !== 'string') throw new Error(... 🤔

[TylerLeonhardt]

For Copilot Chat, our line of code would have shown:

GitHub Copilot could not connect to server. Extension activation failed:  ....

But instead you say that it says just:

Extension activation failed: 

That I was able to find in the Copilot extension, not the Copilot Chat extension. We should move this over to those folks.

@norbertkocon94 can you please get a discussion going over here? https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/copilot
