v0.3.709 is broken

[mellis481]

I had not used VS Live Share in a while, but attempted to use it today only to learn that it does not work. In the VS Code "Live Share" tab, if I select any of the three "Join collaboration session...", "Start collaboration session...", or "Start read-only collaboration session..." links, nothing happens. If I click on the "Start Collaboration Session (Share)" icon at the top of the tab, I see an error notification pop up in the bottom right saying: command 'liveshare.startFromActivityBar' not found

When I close and open VS Code, I see a "Downloading dependencies...: Finishing VS Live Share installation..." message in the toolbar, but it takes forever to finish. When it finally does, I don't see the "Share" link/icon in the toolbar.

I tried VS Live Share on a mac and it works w/o issue.

Hey @mellis481 , it seems like your Live Share installation isn't completing successfully. Live Share isn't usable until its dependencies are downloaded and installed, and based on your description, it sounds like that process is failing.

Could you attach your logs to this issue (there's a command accessible via the command palette called Live Share: Export Logs)? That would help us see where dependency acquisition is failing. Alternatively, you can enable diagnostic logging (in your VS Code settings, set liveshare.diagnosticLogging to true) and check the output in the "Visual Studio Live Share" output pane after restarting VS Code.

It miraculously works today.

Amazing! Nothing discernible has changed about your setup?

I also see this error message every time i reload the vs code
Failed to install support for joining sessions using a browser link. You can still join sessions manually.
And when trying to sign in
Agent terminated with exit code: 0 and signal null: Failed to load the dll from [C:\Users\AJ.vscode\extensions\ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-0.3.1225\dotnet_modules\hostfxr.dll], HRESULT: 0x80070057 The library hostfxr.dll was found, but loading it from C:\Users\AJ.vscode\extensions\ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-0.3.1225\dotnet_modules\hostfxr.dllfailed - Installing .NET Core prerequisitesmight help resolve this problem.http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=798306&clcid=0x409

@A1K2S3 How did you solve it?

@GeSnowBoy I've faced the same problem and I've solved it through running the command in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/liveshare/reference/linux

wget -O ~/vsls-reqs https://aka.ms/vsls-linux-prereq-script && chmod +x ~/vsls-reqs && ~/vsls-reqs

Actullay, I tried many different ways but none of them worked for me, and after hours of effort finding the solution I uninstalled live share because none of them were working. But after some time I installed it again and it worked. No errors occured while installation. I don't have a clear idea about how it worked it just installed without error.

I had the same issue Windows 10. Restarting vscode worked for me.
