2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:
We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.
-
Add LocalServerFlow in Microsoft Authentication for Seamless Login in Remote Environments: This issue addresses the need to implement a LocalServerFlow in the Microsoft Authentication extension to facilitate seamless login in remote environments like code-server, eliminating the cumbersome process of manually copying and pasting authorization codes. The proposal suggests using a LocalServerLoopbackClient to handle authentication by spinning up an HTTP server to listen for the authorization code, thereby simplifying the login process and enhancing the user experience in remote setups.
- The comments discuss the feasibility and challenges of implementing the proposed feature, with concerns about security and compatibility with existing services like Settings Sync. Suggestions include using custom app registrations and redirect URIs, but limitations are noted due to the need for tokens from VS Code's client ID. The conversation concludes with a potential workaround involving custom extensions and a discussion on improving the handling of redirect URIs.

-
Unable to Use CoPilot (current paid subscription): This issue is about a user who is unable to use their paid subscription to GitHub CoPilot due to a login problem in Visual Studio Code. The user reports that they are unable to interact with the login screen as the buttons and links are non-functional, despite having a valid subscription.
- The user initially follows troubleshooting steps to enable trace logging but finds no output, indicating a persistent issue. They are guided to check various output channels and settings, but the problem remains unresolved. Despite attempts to sign out and back in, and checking for the activation of the GitHub Copilot Chat extension, the issue persists, leading to a suggestion for a potential screenshare for further assistance.

-
cannot access a command: This issue involves a user experiencing difficulty accessing the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + `) on a Windows system, which they expected to open the terminal but is not functioning as intended. The user is new to Visual Studio Code and mistakenly categorized the issue as a performance problem, seeking guidance on how to resolve the shortcut issue.
- The comments section reveals a discussion where users clarify that the shortcut should open the integrated terminal, suggest checking the Terminal menu, and consider keyboard layout differences as a potential cause. The original poster acknowledges the help, finds the terminal option in the menu, and apologizes for the confusion, while others share screenshots and discuss keyboard layout differences between US and UK keyboards.

The latest Insider build breaks Language Input Method applications (like Unikey): This issue reports a bug in the latest VSCode Insider build (1.97.0 and 1.98.0) that disrupts the functionality of Language Input Method applications, such as Unikey and EVKey, on Windows 11, causing unexpected text input behavior. The problem is linked to the
editor.experimentalEditContextEnabledsetting, which defaults totruein the Insider build, affecting the input method's ability to handle backspace and character insertion correctly.- The comments discuss the issue's reproduction steps, with users providing detailed input method behavior and testing results. The problem persists in the Insider build but not in the Stable version, and it is suggested that the issue might be related to the EVKey software. A workaround is found by disabling the
editor.experimentalEditContextEnabledsetting, and a related issue with AutoHotkey is mentioned, leading to the creation of a new GitHub issue for further investigation. - Number of comments this week: 8

I am getting this error "Sign in failed: Error: No auth flow succeeded.": This issue involves a user experiencing a persistent authentication error when attempting to sign in to their GitHub account through Visual Studio Code, specifically receiving the message "Sign in failed: Error: No auth flow succeeded." The user describes a series of steps they follow, including attempts to authenticate using a local server and device code, but ultimately encounters repeated failures in the authentication process.
- The comments reveal multiple users experiencing similar authentication issues, with some identifying a cyclical problem where the sign-in process repeatedly fails. Suggestions include checking output logs for more information, adjusting settings related to GitHub Enterprise, and addressing potential proxy or firewall issues. One user resolves their issue by configuring proxy settings, while another is advised to ensure a missing certificate is installed in their OS.

It is a first step towards addressing issue #240178, with logs demonstrating the unresponsiveness and the associated stack traces.
- Cygwin Login Shell Directory Fix: This pull request addresses the issue of Cygwin login shells changing the current working directory to the home directory. It sets "CHERE_INVOKING=1" to retain the original directory when sourcing /etc/profile, as detailed in the commit with the message "Retain cwd when invoking login shell."
- Selection Class Readonly Fields: This pull request proposes marking fields in the
Selectionclass as readonly. The class implementation only includes getters, suggesting that these fields were not intended to be writable.
