F1 works fine, I can bring up the command palette.

I could find references of resourceJSON in some serialized file inputs interfaces...

Not possible from the source code, but I added paranoia code even though I cannot explain this.

+1 happening to me too. I was working on my extension (say, C:\Extension), and to test it out, I opened my usual work directory (D:\Work) in the EDH. I later closed the EDH, and in the main vscode-insider window, I switched to the same work directory (D:\Work), and I kept getting this error. And now, even after restarting vscode and even updating it to a new version, I just keep getting this error, in effect, I can't use vscode-insider now :/

The error:

The "Ctrl+P" palette is empty:

[bpasero]

@kumarharsh you are still seeing this in todays insider build?

[kumarharsh]

Yes. I posted my reply only after verifying that it didn't work after updating. Never saw this bug coming, and thought it'd be trivial to fix by just reloading window. Boy, was I wrong 😢 !

Using the stable channel for now.

@kumarharsh can you show me a screenshot of your about dialog? also, can you send me the crash from the developer console (Help > Developer Console)

[kumarharsh]

This is the error stack:

[bpasero]

@kumarharsh thanks, I am working on a fix and will ping you to give it a try.

[kumarharsh]

@bpasero did your changes get rolled up into a release? My editor always says "No updates available" when I check for updates. The version is the same as in the screenshot above.

[bpasero]

@kumarharsh we are currently not able to provide updates because our signing service does not run, please be patient for our next stable release.

[kumarharsh]

I'm patient :-) I asked because I was concerned whether the update service was also not broken.

next stable release.

So, the insider builds are stopped until october?
