This error is related to os.userInfo(), we need to find a way to avoid using it.

Hello all

Thanks @haotianzh for documenting this bug.

For me, the consequence of this bug is that the MAVEN section in the explorer left panel is not displayed at vscode startup.

Thanks @testforstephen for pointing to bug origin in the source code.

My workaround: bypassing the call to os.userInfo() in the minified extension code extension.js installed in my local .vscode folder. And now the MAVEN section in the explorer left panel is displayed.

@testforstephen Is there any chance this will be resolved in one of your next releases?

More info: The error log is present not only in vscjava.vscode-maven but also in vscjava.vscode-spring-boot-dashboard.
