Git changes and staged files aren't visible in VS Code v1.85

[tasteslikestrawberries]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.85.0
• OS Version: Windows 11

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Make a change in a file within git repository and save
2. Select Source control -> file that is changed is not visible (list is empty)

Same happens when staging files. Staged files are not visible.

Downgraded to 1.84.2 and the issue is gone. Before downgrading, tried reinstalling VS Code and disabling/reenabling built-in Git extensions - didn't help.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.85.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette). Lastly, please attach this file via the GitHub web interface as emailed responses will strip files out from the issue.

Happy coding!

I have the same issue with VSCode 1.85.1
Staging / commiting suddenly stopped working today

Thanks for filing the issue. This does seem like a regression but I would need a little bit more information in order to investigate the issue. While adding a "+1" helps with gaging the breadth of the impact it does not help with getting to the bottom of the issue.

Could any of you provide a recording (https://gifcap.dev) of the issue. Also it would help if we could try to narrow things down:

1. Does it happen for all repositories, or just one particular repository,
2. Does it happen for all files in the repository or just some,
3. is there anything specific to the repository/environment,
4. Does pressing the refresh button help?
5. Does the issue get resolved if you set scm.showIncomingChanges and scm.showOutgoingChanges to false?

Thanks!

1. It does happen for all repositories for me
2. for all files
3. mono repo, it was working before though
4. No it does not

@lszomoru Hey I was looking at the Iteration Plan for January 2024 and i didn't see this issue being marked as planned there? I'm not sure how your development cycle works, will all the bug fixes in the Insider get included in the next release by defualt?

I see your Triage Bot has marked this is not planned which worries me

[lszomoru]

@sedghi, I have fixed some issues in this area so it would be extremely helpful if any of the contributors on this issue would try out the latest VS Code Insiders release to make sure that the problem has been resolved. Thanks!

[sedghi]

I've been using insiders and it seems to be resolved. If you have any questions or want to know more, feel free to ask and I'll be happy to help.
I'm just not really like the insiders experience, would like the fix to be applied on the stable

[lszomoru]

@sedghi, thanks for getting back to me and for confirming that the issue is resolved in Insiders. The fix will be included in the next Stable release that will be released towards the end of January.
