vscode error

mmickells

I have been using bitbucket for a couple of weeks or so with vscode without any issues. I'm uncertain what has happened but I'n getting a message popup in vscode. It says "Activating Bitbucket features failed".

So far I have logged out. removed the authentication and restarted vscode. I've even removed vscode from my computer at this point and reloading everything. So far I've not gotten passed this.

Any thoughts on what might have happened?

Edit: many users have found that installing Git on the workstation running VSCode resolves this error.

Hey, welcome to the Community!

I haven't seen that error before personally, but would love to help you get VSCode working with Bitbucket again!

First can I confirm you're using the Atlassian-provided Jira and Bitbucket (Official) extension? There are a few others on the Marketplace that provide Bitbucket connectivity, but this is the one built and maintained by Atlassian.

By clicking on the blue bar down at the bottom of VS Code that says "Bitbucket: <your username>" you should be able to see the settings for Bitbucket:

Removing any existing connection and clicking "Login to Bitbucket Cloud" again would be another thing to try and see if you get a more specific error.

Let me know how things go!

Thanks,
Daniel

Daniel,

Thank you for the response, but do apologies for it taking a few days to get back with you.

It does appear that I'm using the "official" plugin. I'll include a screenshot. I've also have tried logging out and back in. I've even gone so far to completely remove all traces of vscode and then install again with the same issues. The attached screenshot from today post is actually from my new laptop which I just setup this week.

So I'm uncertain if there is something strange going on with my account or if there is something going on with the plug in. I might revisit the plugin page to review at required prerequisites in the meantime.

Hello, jus wanted to add that I am facing the same issue, this is a new installation of VSCode on a new machine, first run failed, I can log in into bitbucket though the extension but it fails to activate with the message shown above. Please let me know how can I provide debug information. I really like this extension to create PRs, so it's one of my favs, thanks!

@Daniel Eads Please feel free to delete the Answer I added below, I did not mean to do that.

@mmickells and @Eduardo Gutiérrez Silva - our team is looking at the error to see if they can reproduce it and determine the cause.

Would both of you be able to double-check that the git extension is active in VSCode and not disabled? Thanks much!

I had a new machine install on my Mac, found all I had to do was finish git installation/config.

So, in terminal typing "git --version" revealed I hadn't yet accepted Xcode's licence agreement, so "sudo xcodebuild -license" and accepting it finished the config, restarting VS and all was fine

Please check the debug log for git in VS code -
