Login failed in case of wrong NewtonSoft.JSON version

[Banzai292]

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: 2017 CE (15.9.3)
• This extension: [GitLab.Extension 1.0.165]
• GitLab self hosted (11.5.3)

Description

Can't login with Team Explorer->Connect, because extension try loading "NewtonSoft.JSON 11.0.0.0", what's very old, and failed.
The Installation (%AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15xxx\Extensions\somethingcryptic) comes with Version 12.0.1.22727.

Steps to recreate

1. Go to "Team Explorer" in VS
2. Click "Connect" on GitLab
3. Enter address, username and password (doesnt matter, until its not empty)
4. Set "GitLab ApiV4 Oauth2" (or something else, doesnt matter)
5. UNCHECK Two Factor.... (doesnt matter, if checked or not)
6. Click Login -> Error Message

Current behavior

No connection to self hosted GitLab server.

Expected behavior

Connect to self hosted GitLab server and pull, create etc. repository

It's only functional on cloned repos by hand. Open such project in vs and commit, push, etc. works with self hosted GitLab.

Thank you for your quick response.
Version seems fine, because it failes with another error!

After fiddle around with self-signed certificates, windows trust store, gitconfig and many googleing, git on git-bash works fine with local and remote repos (clone, pull, fetch etc), but the gitlab.extensions gives me a "does not trust SLL/TLS" message.

You can close this issue so far, because the "NewtonSoft"-problem does not pop up anymore.

BTW: The link "register now" results in "System can't find file' error bar in VS. Don't know the current or actual behavior of this functionality.... I doesn't need it.
