Infinite spinner on file save after server rest connection with client.

[miteshcirkle]

feature request related to a problem
Yes you are right server drop their connection after 10 mins or so of idleness.
But this same server work perfectly with other IDE or code editor like sublime text 3.

The problem is this SFTP show spinner till you not reload vs code. If SFTP did not get any response on file save within 30 seconds then it should retry to connect.

Solution
In sublime editor if sftp not able to save file within 30 seconds then sublime try to reconnect again. I suggest to implement this same solution.

SFTP IS AWESOME!

Have you tried to just do a simple CTRL+S inside a file even after the error is displayed ? As I said in my last answer, it should still save and upload the file correctly on the server. Even if you have an "Error" message, it's just an bug since your server isn't able to send back a comprehensive response to the SFTP extension.

[miteshcirkle]

Yes, I have tried to save file but it not save to server once it start this spinner.

Please try to implement this solution if possible.

[miteshcirkle]

Solution
In sublime editor if sftp not able to save file within 1 second then sublime try to reconnect again. I suggest to implement this same solution.

Can you update to the latest 1.13.3 version and try those things ?

1. Try adding those parameters to your sftp.json config file :

"concurrency": 1,
"connectTimeout": 1800000

No buddy, it does not work.

After some research it seems to be related to the ssh2 package that is required in the package.json. Could you open a issue on his github project?

[Natizyskunk]

In the mean time i've made a temporary fix to make it easier for you to work. Normally it should not disconnect you and if it does it should only after at least 30 mins. You can simply download the v1.13.5-beta version here and follow the manual installation.

Could you give me some feedback and tell me if it has fixed your problem ?

[miteshcirkle]

Not Solved

[Natizyskunk]

@miteshcirkle,

This error has been maybe introduce with the ssh2 package update to v1.1.0.

As a test to verify that you can try this :

1. Uninstall SFTP extension from vscode.
2. Close vscode and go to C:/Users/<username>/.vscode/extensions.
3. In here remove all references to the SFTP extension. Liximomo's one and Natizyskunk's one.
4. Re-open vscode and install latest liximomo's version, not mine.
5. Re-close vscode and navigate now to C:/Users/<username>/.vscode/extensions/liximomo.sftp-1.12.9.
6. In here edit the package.json file to update the ssh2 package version from 0.8.5 to 1.1.0 like this
   
   !! Don't forget to save !!
7. Now open a terrminal inside the extension folder C:/Users/<username>/.vscode/extensions/liximomo.sftp-1.12.9 and type npm i to update all the packages.
8. After that you can open vscode again and try to connect via the SFTP extension.
9. Now check if you still have the error or not. This will confirm if the bug is coming from the new ssh2 update.

Please give me your feedback.

[miteshcirkle]

Still same problem

[Natizyskunk]

@miteshcirkle,
Ok I see, now we are moving forward. This confirms that the problem has been introduce with the new ssh2 v1.1.0 update.
As it seems that the bug is coming from the new ssh2 update, I'm gonna open an issue on @mscdex github to see if he can help me to fix this.
For now the only advise I can give you is to stay with liximomo's v0.8.5 and add this fix not get the "No such file or directory" error : Fix streams autoDestroy, Node 14 major change #1009

[javimata]

this error continue? never be fixed? i need restart the extension each time? please tell me about another that work fine

[Natizyskunk]

@javimata,

no solution has been found for now.
Still searching how to resolve it.

I'll let know everybody when it's fixed.

[jeffglynn]

I find that changing (ie. add a space) and saving the sftp.json file restarts the connection. Fixes this issue until the next time it happens

[jeffglynn]

Would you mind telling me how I get liximomo's v0.8.5?
