[1.76.1] Git decorations not shown in 1.76.1

[AnrDaemon]

Type: Bug

Open changed file in 1.76.0. Observe decorations existing on the gutter.
Upgrade to 1.76.1. Decorations gone in the same workspace, with the same file(s) opened. Or not gone. The behavior of 1.76.1 is erratic. Same types of files could show decorations or not.

Git is git-for-windows force configured in settings, picked proper.

Same, updated to 1.76.1, and now in folder tree: "file is modified" but there are no highlights(git decor) beside line numbers

[HitomiTenshi]

Can confirm as well. No more git changes are being displayed for the currently opened files. Changes are now only visible in the Source Control Panel.

Please use the Start Extension Bisect command to check whether any of your extensions is causing this.

Didn't do anything for me, in the first step (all extentions disabled?) I still could not see any git decorations.

Is there maybe a connection to #176738 ?

[gjsjohnmurray]

If you are using a multi-root workspace then this is a duplicate of #176738

[Wyall]

I just rolled back from 1.76.1 to 1.76.0 and the issue is gone.

Edit: I followed these instructions to downgrade, mainly to get the correct older installer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49346733/how-to-downgrade-vscode/49347158#49347158
In case somebody else wants to check if 1.76.0 brings back the git decorations.

If you are using a multi-root workspace then this is a duplicate of #176738

I checked, I am not, just a single root folder with all its subfolders.

pinging @alexr00

[Fernando10Bet]

Yesterday the gutter was working ok, but now it's not working.

[austinorr]

Same issue here. Tested on local repos (not symlinked or anything fancy), deactivated all 3rd party extensions but still no gutter decoration at all. Uninstalled VSCode, reinstalled latest (1.76.1), checked again, but same issue.

Rollback to 1.75.1 worked for me, but didn't test rollback to any earlier 1.76.x

(windows 10, 19045)

[jpreiland]

I am experiencing the same issue (on 1.76.1), but only for my current repository. I tried opening an older repo and saw git decorations, but going back to the project I'm working on, I don't see any. I've tried disabling and re-enabling the built-in git extension as well as git lens, restarting my pc, and deleting/re-cloning the repo.

edit: reverting to 1.76.0 fixed the issue

[aminomancer]

I am not using a multi-root workspace and I have this problem.

[1255225613]

same issue as well.

same repo, same directory, some file change will have the highlight, but some is not.

[AnrDaemon]

I am not using a multi-root workspace and I have this problem.

I have a feeling this is not related to multi-root workspace at all.

[17LingShan]

I rolled back to 1.76.0 and cancel the auto update. Then the git decorations are shown.
You can download the older version in this link:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_previous-release-versions

[vsDizzy]

For me it is not working under Windows and works fine under WSL.

Related Stack Overflow questions:

• Why aren't SCM diff decorations showing in the gutter in VS Code 1.76.1? I'd prefer using this one as a duplicate target on Stack Overflow since it's asked much cleaner.
• Why aren't SCM diff decorations showing in the VS Code gutter in VS Code 1.76.1?
• Git Changes indicator does not appear in VSCode
• VScode does not highlight the modified line
• Vscode stopped highlighting file changes
• Visual Studio Code not showing file changes on left side bar
• VS Code stopped showing gutter indicators
• git local working changes doesnt show in the sidebar
• Why don't see the changed lines in the bar with the numbers in VSCODE?
• Visual Studio Code file change annotations disappeared

[AnrDaemon]

To be absolutely precise, even ongoing editing decorations aren't shown, even though the file is clearly under VCS control as shown on the SCM sidebar.

[ymyke]

FWIW: I have the same issue, but with inconsistent behavior: There are files that don't show the decorations and some that do. Same file type in both cases. Could not determine any pattern yet that would explain which files work and which don't.

Possible pattern: In the repo I'm working in, I only have the problem with files that were added to the repo very recently (e.g., since Sunday). Is this affecting all files added after installing the latest vscode release? Maybe some caching issue?

[alexr00]

Duplicate of #176738, which has a fixed merged for it.

Folks who are seeing this issue: Could you please install the latest insiders build and confirm that you no longer see the issues there?

I can confirm it is not fixed for me:

I can add that reverting to a previous version also didn't solve the issue.
Have tried with diff versions both Insiders and vanilla.

[alexr00]

@KristofStroobants, it looks like you don't have any local changes. This issue is about these git gutter decorations:

But shouldn't is also show the remote changes?

[starball5]

@KristofStroobants isn't this feature based on the results of git diff? git diff doesn't show "behind" / upstream changes unless you tell it to (if I understand correctly).

[jenuel-dev]

Yup gutter does not show up on me as well,, this makes hard to check changes in my file.. I hope they fix it on next update.

[ymyke]

@alexr00 Is there any way to fix this without having to install Insiders? Or: When is an update in the official stream to be expected?

[AnrDaemon]

Insiders builds are installed separately, and using different configuration directory. So you could always install Insiders build and check without affecting your "production" setup.

[ymyke]

Thanks for the heads-up, @AnrDaemon!

@alexr00 In Insiders, I see the Git decorations.

[alexr00]

Stable update is planned for today.

[PamlJam]

Same here, it's been a week.

Finally fix it until now

So have you updated to 1.76.2?

[jenuel-dev]

was updated to 1.76.2, gutter started showing

[Pecacheu]

Man this problem was driving me CRAZY on 1.76.1. Didn't realize it was a recent bug causing it and thought it was some obscure issue with my VS Code or Git configuration or even a recent Windows 11 update (then it happened on my Linux PC too lol). Tried every possible tip I could on the internet and nothing helped.

But I just now got prompted to update, now on 1.76.2 and git changes are BACK!

[AnrDaemon]

I hope you learned a lesson to never let your software autoupdate?
At the very least you will know that update had happened and any change in behavior is likely caused by it.

[PamlJam]

So have you updated to 1.76.2?

yes sir
