@csteres-cpi We don't know yet why you're experiencing download/install failures, and a significant amount of other users are failing as well, so it's something we need to investigate more or provide some additional bundled .vsix link. However, the language server processes for C++ won't run on 32-bit Linux, so our extension wouldn't work for you even if you did download it successfully, unless you only intend to use the debugger.

The failure rate from these download errors is pretty low and some people report it working after retrying later, but we're still not sure why users are hitting this and we're investigating using different download mechanisms to improve the success rate.

If the extension is installed offline (using vsix) what are the steps to update the language components?

@sean-mcmanus
Copy link
Collaborator

@kubaroth It's not recommended to install the .vsix offline. You should install the .vsix online with a machine with a matching OS and then zip/tar the installed folder and unzip the installed folder to the extensions folder on the offline machine. Are you able to do that? If not, you'd need to open the package.json to find all the runtimeDependencies you need to manually download and unzip into the extension folder on the target machine and then add an install.lock file and maybe chmod to make the binary files executable.

kaarrot commented Nov 18, 2017

Thanks, I did try the latter - manual download but I had no luck. As I'm still not familiar with the process I wasn't sure if all the dependencies should be copied in the ./bin directory. Does the package.json specifies the exact destination?
I will try the former solution as well, but I'm afraid It may not work as the offline machine runs different Linux distro.

@sean-mcmanus

Collaborator

@kubaroth The files should be unzipped into the main extension directory. The zip files have the folders inside them already, such as bin. Different Linux distros should be acceptable for the 1st solution as long as the bitness matches.

@csteres-cpi We're shipping a offline .vsix option with all the OS dependencies pre-included with our next update (0.14.4) so people can just download/install that if they're having problems downloading/installing the dependencies via the "online" installer. We're using #298 to track that.

Fixed with 0.14.4. Offline installers are at https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases .

I was able to install version 0.14.5 using offline installers. Recently it was automatically updated to 0.14.6 and i again got this error message:

If you work in an offline environment or repeatedly see this error, try downloading a version of the extension with all the dependencies pre-included from https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases, then use the "Install from VSIX" command in VS Code to install it."

Installing VSIX for version 0.14.6 didn't help.
So, i had to come back to 0.14.5. Looks like regression.

@sean-mcmanus

@valkuzn I think you want to set "extensions.autoUpdate" to false. What do you mean by installing the 0.14.6 vsix didn't help? Did you uninstall the previous online version? What error is shown with the 0.14.6 offline installer?

@valkuzn
Copy link

valkuzn commented Jan 22, 2018

@sean-mcmanus Right, so finally i disabled auto-update, uninstalled 0.14.6 and installed 0.14.5. And it's how it works right now.
But firstly, after auto-update i tried to re-install offline (VSIX) version of 0.14.6 (because i thought that it could be that online upgrade is different from offline VSIX), and it failed with the same error message (from my previous email).

Again:

  1. I had working version 0.14.5, which i installed from VSIX (offline)
  2. It was auto-updated to 0.14.6. When upgrade had been finished, i got the error message from my previous message. IntelliSense stopped working and some Intellisense items disappeared from menu.
  3. I uninstalled version 0.14.6, downloaded version 0.14.6 VSIX and install it from this VSIX. Again got the same error message (from my previous message).
  4. Uninstalled version 0.14.6 again, disabled auto-update, installed 0,14.5 from VSIX. It worked.

@valkuzn I'm not sure how to fix this, because I tried all your repro steps exactly, but the 0.14.6 VSIX installed successfully with no error, with no internet connection. My best guess is that the online 0.14.6 failed to uninstall fully, somehow blocking the offline 0.14.6 from installing. You might want to check C:\Users\<user>\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.cpptools-0.14.6 to make sure it's gone and that all the files exist as expected after installing the offline version, i.e. binaries in the bin folder.

I've been having this issue too and I found at least a couple possible causes:

  • Our Linux VM environments are set up to use an internal corporate proxy via http_proxy and https_proxy (setting http.proxySupport=off fixed the issue for me)
  • It could also be that your certificates are out of date and you have http.proxyStrictSSL=true

I think additional output logging in the download progress would be helpful for users to troubleshoot this issue.

@AbhishekS-2099 Can you download https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases/download/0.29.0/cpptools-osx.vsix and run the "Install from VSIX" command in VS Code?

We don't know what is causing that particular permission denied error.

I tried that, but the error was persistent. I tried running VS Code as a root user and it got fixed. The present extensions work now. I still can't add new extensions though.
