VSCode v1.43 remote ssh cannot connect. v1.42 works – CentOS

I am connecting to a CENTOS 7.4 machine from my MAC using remote ssh extension. Everything was working fine in v1.42. I updated to v1.43 yesterday and now VSCode cannot connect. I get following error and it ‘hangs’ till I select close remote connection. I switched back to v1.42 and it works. Anyone else seen this?

    I think that is NOT a issue of VSCode(v1.42 or 1.43). You can try to downgrade Remote-SSH extension to version 0.49.

    I solved it by Cleaning up the VS Code Server on the remote. No uninstalling, no downgrading…

    Simply:

    1. Close VS Code
    2. SSH into the remote using any other way, and run the commands from the link:
    kill -9 `ps ax | grep "remoteExtensionHostAgent.js" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
kill -9 `ps ax | grep "watcherService" | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
rm -rf ~/.vscode-server # Or ~/.vscode-server-insiders
    1. Open VS Code again (it will re-install the remote server).

    EDIT:
    Running VS Code v1.43, Remote-SSH extension v0.50, on Windown 10.
    Remote machine is CentOS 7

    This is an open issue in VSCode Remote-SSH version 0.50.0. See Issue #2527.

    The way I resolved it was to downgrade to version 0.49.0.

    1. In VSCode, Ctrl+Shift+X to open extensions
    2. Click the Manage icon next to the Remote – SSH extension
    3. Click Install Another Version… from the options
    4. Select the version to install (0.49.0)

    I also recommend disabling the Extensions Auto Update in settings so this type of thing doesn’t happen in the future with this or any other extensions.
