I append "extensionsAny" to "extensionEnabledApiProposals"."ms-vscode.remote-explorer" in "C:\Users\guanz\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\product.json", then the explorer works well. Is this a problem of vscode itself ?

{
...
  "extensionEnabledApiProposals": {
 ...
  "ms-vscode.remote-explorer": [
	"contribViewsRemote",
	"extensionsAny" // added
    ],
}

Hello! Could you list the version of your remote-explorer extension? You can find this by going to the extensions tab then searching for remote explorer in the marketplace and the version should be listed to the right of the extension name after you click on the search result and would look something like: v0.1.2022091309

yes，the version is exactly "v0.1.2022091309" in my VSCode

I had the same exact issue and this solution also worked for me.

Version v0.1.2022092609 Pre-release.

[NicolasGoeddel]

Where can I find product.json on Linux because I got the same issue here. There is no product.json anywhere in my $HOME/.vscode directory.

[eleanorjboyd]

Hello- can someone verify if this is fixed? We pushed a fix two days ago on the most recent version of remote-explorer.

Happy Coding!

[braydonk]

This has started happening to me on the latest version of the extension, pre-release, and a version from 3 weeks ago.

@braydonk could you send your remote-ssh logs and the logs from your dev tools?

Here are the logs from my dev tools.

This error always appears when I try to open the Remote Development pane from the Primary Side Bar.

I am not sure how to get remote-ssh logs; I didn't find any instructions for that in CONTRIBUTING.md, is there somewhere else I should look?

[eleanorjboyd]

@braydonk, thank you so much for sending this over! This actually should give us all the information we need to make this fix so no need to get the remote-ssh logs, apologies for not providing instructions there. We will get back to you with updates, thanks!

[eleanorjboyd]

@braydonk also if you do get stuck in the future with remote-ssh here is a new troubleshooting wiki we have created in case it could be helpful next time! https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/wiki/Debugging-for-Remote-SSH

[roblourens]

@braydonk looks like you're on an old version of vscode, please update

Version: 1.72.2

you may not get the latest version of extensions unless you're on the latest vscode, this should be fixed in the latest

[braydonk]

Ah okay, that's tricky since my organization controls which version of VSCode we're on, so I only get updates once they decide. Is there an old version of the remote extension I could install manually that may still work on version 1.72.2?

[roblourens]

You can try an old version of remote-ssh (an older version won't depend on remote-explorer).

0.84 for example should work

I encounter this issue, too. Upgrading version of vscode from 1.72 to 1.74 works for me.

[braydonk]

Version 0.84 of the extension seems to work. Thank you for your help!
