Can't figure out "No Provider for "sftp:///?tryKeyboard=1" about vscode-remote-workspace

[PlumCantaloupe]

Okay thank you. I should have tried a fresh reinstall first - was focused on trying to understand what "provider" means. Strange issue but works now. Thanks for such a useful plugin!

The setting tryKeyboard does not mean, that a password box is shown if you do not define a password. It is a settings for the ssh2 module, which is used by the extension.

If you do not want to write the password into the URI, you have the following options:

• export credentials to external file, using auth parameter, as described here
• setting up a private key file, using key parameter

Thanks for the reply. Okay, I removed the tryKeyboard to simplify things and just left the password in the uri but still get the same error. I feel like I am missing basic something here. I am just confused what "no provider for ..." means.

My complete workspace settings are:

{
    "folders": [{
        "uri": "sftp://username:[email protected]/",
        "name": "My SFTP folder"
    }],
    "settings": {}
}

And this is the error that pops is:

Thanks again.

That looks like the extension has not been loaded, or the provider could not be initialized.

Have you checked the logs (${HOME_DIR}/.vscode-remote-workspace/.logs) and the output (CTRL + SHIFT + U >> Remote Workspace)?

Do you use other extension with such a feature?

Maybe a clean reinstall could help.

I had the same problem and just needed to restart VSCode after installing and configuring the extension.
