Extension host terminated unexpectedly - Message always appearing

[KBPsystem777]

Whenever I launch VSCode, I am always receiving this message:

I already clicked the Restart Extension Host multiple times but it doesn't resolve the issue.

By opening the DevTools, I saw this error on the console:

Line 281 of extensionService.ts error on this Code:

console.error('Extension host terminated unexpectedly. Code: ', code, ' Signal: ', signal);

Line 126 of messageService.ts error on this Code:

console.error(toErrorMessage(message, true));

• VSCode Version:

• OS Version: Windows 10
  Steps to Reproduce:

1. Updated VSCode to version: January 2018 (version 1.20)
2. Installed extension:
   

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Just to confirm, you still see this error even when starting VSCode from the command line with --disable-extensions? If so, can you try the following:

Wherever VSCode is installed (should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code), go to \resources\app and rename the extensions folder there and add new folder with nothing in it called extensions.

This will remove the extensions you've installed and the extensions that are built into VSCode. If loading VSCode with all extensions removed fixes the problem, then one of the built in extensions is likely causing the issue and we will try to narrow it down

Hi there! I tried following your instructions and looks like one of the extension is really giving the error. I also tried launching the VSCode with the disabled extensions and it works fine. There is no error message.

@KBPsystem777 Great! So now we know it is one of the extensions. Is it possible for you, by process of elimination, to narrow down which one it is?

Otherwise, when the extension host crashes, it is possible to view the log file which would indicate what it was doing before it crashed: F1 > Developer: Show logs... > Extension Host.

@alexandrudima after narrowing it down, looks like the error is from GitLens extension.

Also per following your instructruction, this is the log I have:

@KBPsystem777 In this case, can you please open an issue directly against the extension at https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens/issues
