"Command failed" on paste

[timiles]

I'm using the Clipboard Ring extension (https://github.com/SrTobi/code-clip-ring) in VS Code, which has a dependency on clipboardy ^1.2.3.

I occasionally get the following error, preventing me from pasting the content of my clipboard:

Command failed: C:\Users\Tim\.vscode\extensions\code-clip-ring\node_modules\clipboardy\fallbacks\windows\clipboard_x86_64.exe --paste thread 'main' panicked at 'Error: Could not paste from clipboard: Error { repr: Os { code: 0, message: "The operation completed successfully." } }', src\libcore\result.rs:906:4 note: Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 for a backtrace.

Seems strange that clipboard_x86_64.exe reports an Error with what looks like a success message?

I think restarting VS Code might fix this, but it's a nuisance. Any ideas?

Other info:
I'm running Windows 10 Home N. VS Code: Version 1.24.1.

I thinks this bug is in upstream module -
sindresorhus/windows-clipboard#16

[yeikel]

A good way to reproduce this is to try doing an operation multiple times. Example : copy

Any solution for this problem? It'll happen when I execute paste from clipboard multiple times in a short time.
{ code: 5, message: "存取被拒。" }

Even I upgraded the NodeJs to 20.15.5, then also I am having the same issue;

@timiles I tested the fallback on Windows using this version, and it seems to work fine:
clipboardy@1.2.3/fallbacks/windows

Let me know if it's work with you

[amishrap4]

So It worked for me, when I stopped my windows machine being locked/screensaver after a few moments.
so for me, the solution was to not lock the machine or prevent the idle mode after a moment.
