Hi,
do you see this problem always or only sometimes? Does dezog itself works for you?
Unfortunately there is very little debug info available. Could you e.g. share if there is some related info in the debug console.

It would also be interesting if this is somehow related to one of your folder/projects.
Could you start vscode with no folder opened and check if the problem persists?

To my understanding there are very few Linux users for dezog. Most are on Windows or macOS.
I suspect that it has something to do with the package bundler, maybe something is missing in the Linux builds.
Beginning with 3.2 I used a package bundler (esbuild). I'm not so happy with it, it has caused many problems and I could imagine that it has something to do with it.
Could you please test versions 3.1 and 3.2 and let me know if you see any difference?

[zombiesbyte]

Hi Maziac
I'm still testing 3.2.2 and what I can see so far is that it seems to be only 1 particular project I'm working on that produces this error. It's a time based error (meaning I have just just wait for the error to present itself). I don't know enough about what is going on in the background to start looking further. Here's a screen grab of my Laravel V9 project folder structure (note that I've tested other Laravel and PHP projects and couldn't replicate the issue)

Can you suggest a way to debug/log further. Maybe there's a file type that's triggering the issue or some other extension that is getting in the way.

I'll see if I can find out how to disable all extensions except yours to see if it's a project file issue

[zombiesbyte]

Ah ha - Found something while gradually turning on extensions

amiralizadeh9480.laravel-extra-intellisense
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=amiralizadeh9480.laravel-extra-intellisense

This instantly fires the error when I enable it

[maziac]

Hmm, I also googled a bit for this error.
To me it seems that it could be a problem of vscode.
That it happens only with a few extensions could be because these extensions are language/debug servers and use this special vscode functionality.

(E.g. here similar issue: microsoft/vscode#176562
This seems to be mainly the case on WSL2, i.e. Linux.)

[zombiesbyte]

Happy to close this issue as a workaround has been provided and the root cause has shifted in direction. I wasn't able to replicate the error in other PHP/Laravel repo's so there must be something specific that is causing this but I don't have anything further to go off.

Do you have a launch.json in .vscode folder?

[zombiesbyte]

I have a extensions.json in the.vscode folder

[zombiesbyte]

Oh -sorry. I was looking at the wrong codebase
Yes I have a launch.json

[maziac]

OK, I was just curious if there is something dezog related in it.

[taylorza]

I am also experiencing this issue. I cannot tell exactly when this started, I have not used dezog in a while, so it probably updated but I did update to the latest CSpect version 2.19.2.1. I have noticed that once the error occurs I cannot even run the task to launch CSpect.

The task does not have much in it

 {
     "label": "Launch CSpect",
     "type": "shell",
     "command": "D:/Temp/nextdev/emulator/cspect -fps -r -w2 -brk -zxnext -nextrom -mmc=D:/Temp/nextdev/sdcard/tbblue-dev.sd",
     "dependsOrder": "sequence",
     "dependsOn": [],
     "problemMatcher": []
}

DeZog Version: 3.2.2

When the extension host crashes and restarts the following message is in the DEBUG CONSOLE

'DeZogPlugin v2.1.0.29775' initialized.
Continue

[maziac]

Could you maybe go back to dezog 3.1 for a while to see If the problem exists there, too.

[taylorza]

I went back to version 3.1.0 and so far so good.

Here is my VSCode version information

Version: 1.76.1 (user setup)
Commit: 5e805b79fcb6ba4c2d23712967df89a089da575b
Date: 2023-03-08T16:32:00.131Z

OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22621
Sandboxed: No

[maziac]

I do not see the "extension host error", but I was now able to reproduce the problem taylorza reported with the tasks.
When starting "Run Task..." vscode did not list any of the tasks of tasks.json although the file still exists.
vscode seems to look for tasks.json in a completely different workspace.
However, after I cleared the complete file, save it, and then put the old contents in once again and again saved it, all the tasks got recognized by vscode.

This is somehow strange. Dezog has no relationship to the tasks. It does not use them or read them or whatever.

[maziac]

Maybe it is related to some update in vscode itself. Need to check if older versions also show this behavior.

[taylorza]

As an additional test, I upgraded DeZog to 3.2.2 and the problem returned.
Subsequently downgrading to 3.1.0 I am not able to reproduce the problem.

[maziac]

Could you maybe test 3.2.1. I added a few packages in 3.2.2.

[taylorza]

I did a quick test this morning and I could not reproduce the issue with 3.2.1. And just for my own sanity, I retested 3.2.2 and I could reproduce the issue.

[bpasero]

👋 , in VS Code it is possible to start it in a way to produce a native crash dump. Curious if people can try to see if a crash dump is being produced, which then we in VS Code can also use to see if we could do something about it.

The steps in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues explain the process.

[maziac]

I was now able to reproduce this.
For some reason it happens in Windows but not in MacOS.
It is related to esbuild and the graphviz package that is used in dezog.
Will investigate some more.
Btw version 3.2.1 should not show this behavior.

[maziac]

Please retest with attached version. I exchanged the graphviz package.
dezog-3.2.3-rc2.vsix.zip

Could you please also check if the flowchart and callgraph is working for you.

[taylorza]

It looks good. I will get setup to test the reverse engineering and callgraph capabilities and let you know, but so far 3.2.3-rc2 is looking good.

[maziac]

Could you please also test this version:
dezog-3.2.3-rc3.vsix.zip

[taylorza]

3.2.3-rc3 looks good

[maziac]

I released 3.2.3 to marketplace. Please let me know if it works.

[taylorza]

It looks like it is working as expected. Thank you!

[zombiesbyte]

It looks like it is working as expected. Thank you!

Yep me too. Had this running for about 40 minutes with no issues, thanks

[maziac]

Thanks for testing.
