Once I open the vs code, I got this error

if I disable the latex workshop and restart extension host, no error alert anymore.
I tried
cd ~/.vscode/extensions/james-yu.latex-workshop-5.21.0
npm install
and got this message

I don not know why it cannot detect the version correctly

Desktop

• OS: macOS 10.14.3
• VS Code version: 1.31.0
• Extension version: 5.21.0

I can not reproduce. Please disable other extensions except for LaTeX Workshop, and check that you still see this issue.

Similar issues are reported microsoft/vscode/issues/68024 and microsoft/vscode/issues/67999 as I said.

I already re-install the vs code, and only install latex workshop, the issue still there.

Here is the error info from developer tool

[tamuratak]

Normally fsevents is not installed. The reason you have it is your following steps,

cd ~/.vscode/extensions/james-yu.latex-workshop-5.21.0
npm install

You must not do that unless you know what you are doing.

Please uninstall LaTeX Workshop, and remove ~/.vscode/extensions/james-yu.latex-workshop-5.21.0, and reinstall the extension.

And your log says you have 14 extensions installed.

Notice that uninstalling VS Code does not mean uninstalling extensions. You have to uninstall extensions manually. See microsoft/vscode/issues/66837. Please uninstall all the extensions manually, and check that you still see this issue.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I have already tried what you said, I remove the user data and extensions in .vscode directory, then re-install the vs code, and only install latex-workshop, still got the error. This issue even make me give up vscode

[tamuratak]

Please do that again. Then show us new log messages.

@Issacwww From I understand, you are trying to run the github version of the LaTeX-Workshop extension otherwise I do not understand why you are running a extension host window. If you are using the extension from the marketplace, you should not fiddle with npm.

If you are trying to run the github version in an extension host, you need to remove the node_modules directory from LaTeX-Workshop directory and run npm install again. This enabled me to fix the extension host issue.

[Issacwww]

@jlelong I just install the extension from marketplace, after installation and open the .tex file, the error alert. I do not use the github version.

[Issacwww]

@tamuratak I uninstall the VS code and use the following script to remove the user data and extensions as well:
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code
sudo rm -rf ~/.vscode
The I re-install the VS code and install latex-workshop from marketplace, and open the .tex file, got the error again.

[tamuratak]

Please show us the new error info from developer tool, too.

[Issacwww]

[tamuratak]

That is what we want to see.

The cause is that VSCode uses modules under /Users/ssuchao/node_modules. This is not normal. I guess you have set some environment variables, NODE_PATH, and others. Please clear these variables, and restart your Mac. Other than environment variables, settings in ~/.npmrc may be the cause.

[Issacwww]

@tamuratak Thanks a lot, but I did not set any environment variables related to this, I just remove the node_modules form my user home, and it works for me.

[tamuratak]

You're welcome.

I did not set any environment variables related to this

That's wierd. It might be a bug of VSCode.

[tlamadon]

I had the same exact problem. I removed node_modules from my home directory and it worked. Thanks.
