Azure Cloud Shell Terminal successfully launches in local Windows window but fails to launch in remote WSL window

[zombiemaker]

• VS Code Version: 1.74.1
• Azure Account Extension Version: v0.11.2
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22621

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start VS Code in Microsoft Windows

2. Select Terminal drop down and select "Azure Cloud Shell (Bash)" (this works)

3. Select "Open a Remote Window" (lower-left corner of VSC window)

4. Select "Open Folder in WSL..."

5. Select directory in WSL and select "Select Folder" (VSC connected to WSL instance)

6. Select Terminal drop down and select "Azure Cloud Shell (Bash)"

7. VSC Terminal panel flashes brief message ("/home/[username]/.vscode-server/bin/1ad8d514439d5077d2b0b7ee64d2ce82a9308e5a/node: bad option: --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node"

8. VSC pops an error message box in lower-right of window with this message "The terminal process "/home/[username]/.vscode-server/extensions/ms-vscode.azure-account-0.11.2/bin/node.sh '/home/[username]/.vscode-server/bin/1ad8d514439d5077d2b0b7ee64d2ce82a9308e5a/node', '-e', 'require('/home/[username]/.vscode-server/extensions/ms-vscode.azure-account-0.11.2/dist/cloudConsoleLauncher').main()', '--ms-enable-electron-run-as-node'" failed to launch (exit code: 9)."

Note: this is the same error as seen in #391

Seems like we're mistakenly adding the --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node flag when connected to a WSL instance.

@zombiemaker I'm not sure this matters, but what WSL distro are you using? Ubuntu? Also are you using WSL 2?

also, thank you for providing a detailed description

[alexweininger]

I'm able to reproduce this in an Ubuntu Dev Container.

@zombiemaker You can try using this development build of the extension which includes a fix for this issue. If you can verify that the fix works for you, that'd be awesome!

Download: azure-account-0.11.2.vsix.zip

---

Steps to install extension development build:

1. Download the extension .VSIX: azure-account-0.11.2.vsix.zip
2. Unzip the .zip archive
3. From the command palette (F1 or Command/Ctrl + Shift + P), run the "Extensions: Install from VSIX..." command.
4. Select the downloaded .VSIX file, then reload VS Code as prompted.

@alexweininger I was also hit by this bug. I can confirm, that your fix works. Would be great for everyone, if this can make it in an official release soon. 😄

@alexweininger something is wrong with the current 0.11.4 version. I receive an error that ends with .vscode-server/extensions/ms-vscode.azure-account-0.11.4/dist/cloudConsoleLauncher').main()'" terminated with exit code: 1. This occurs on Windows, WSL Ubuntu, and Arch Linux. The only fix I've found is uninstalling the extension, disabling extensions from auto-updating, and installing the 0.11.2 VSIX you provided here.

@preichelt Does it work if you install version 0.11.2 of the extension from the marketplace and not from the VSIX provided above? And could you re-verify that it doesn't work on 0.11.4?

[preichelt]

@alexweininger I can confirm that 0.11.2 and 0.11.3 in the marketplace both work. Here's the error I get in Windows after going back to 0.11.4:
The terminal process "node.exe '-e', 'require('c:\\Users\\phill\\.vscode\\extensions\\ms-vscode.azure-account-0.11.4\\dist\\cloudConsoleLauncher').main()'" terminated with exit code: 1.

[alexweininger]

I believe the issue you are running into is separate from the original issue posted. Could you file a new issue please?

[motorbreth]

Same issue for me , version 0.11.4 error and closes terminal
The terminal process "node.exe '-e', 'require('c:\\Users\\username\\.vscode\\extensions\\ms-vscode.azure-account-0.11.4\\dist\\cloudConsoleLauncher').main()'" terminated with exit code: 1.'

Version 0.11.2 solved the issue for me
