VSCode Extensions from the Marketplace Install Slowly, and the .vscode-server PID Changes Continuously #235943
Closed as not planned
Closed as not planned
Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
- VS Code Version:
1.96.0
138f619c86f1199955d53b4166bef66ef252935c
x64
- OS Version: Ubuntu 22.04
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open VSCode (it doesn’t matter if extensions are enabled or not).
- Try to install any extension via the Extensions Marketplace.
- The extension installation process will take an unusually long time (30 minutes or more).
What I have already checked:
- I checked the Developer Tools to see if the requests for fetching extensions are working.
- All requests return a "200 OK" status.
- I also tried starting VSCode with all extensions disabled, but the issue persists.
What I've noticed:
The .vscode-server process is always running, even after restarting my computer without opening VSCode.
However, I can’t kill this process because its PID changes very quickly:
I tried to find the parent process to terminate it but was unable to.
I suspect the issue may be related to the .vscode-server process, which could be getting killed and recreated repeatedly. This might be causing the extension installation to slow down significantly.
Workaround: When I manually download the .vsix extension and install it, the installation completes in less than a second.
