VS Code Remote Still can't forward port

[jigar288]

@jigar288 Would you be able to collect some logs? I have added more logging since 1.54.1, so if you could try with VS Code Insiders I will get a bit more information. If not, there are still useful logs in 1.54.1.

1. Connect to your remote.
2. Run the command "Developer: Set Log Level..." and choose "Trace"
3. Try to forward the port as you say.
4. Open the "Output" view. You can use the command "Output: Focus on Output View".
5. The output view has a dropdown. Please share the output from the following log sources:

• Log (Window)
• Log (Extension Host)
• Log (Remote Extension Host).

In order to resolve the EADDRINUSE issue I just manually killed the port so that I can run my node js application. Now my terminal is able to run my app and I got a message Express server listening on port 8000.

Maybe you had a left over process running from a previous time that you ran your application? The terminal is just a terminal, so if you get an error when running that command then it isn't coming from VS Code.

@alexr00, Responding to your previous post on Mar 9th.

I am now VS Code 1.55.

I was able to get logs. You can find the logs in my public microsoft one drive folder (https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgwAH2eNQuq2iM4sXYWx2tK-LjUSTg?e=hoFrEe)

I dont have a left over process from previous time. I compeltely shut down my remote machine and restarted it.

I am still getting this error: Error message: Unable to forward localhost:8000. The host may not be available or that remote port may already be forwarded
