Always receiving "Extension host terminated unexpectedly" #112

dineiar · 2018-11-12T14:42:21Z

When I open a workspace in VS Code, even without having any scss file open, I'm receiving the message "Extension host terminated unexpectedly". Details:

When the extension is disabled everything works fine.

I have the Live Server extension installed. This is different from #53 , as I'm receiving the error just by opening VS Code.

Reproduced in 2 versions:
VS Code v1.28.0 - commit 431ef9da3cf88a7e164f9d33bf62695e07c6c2a9
VS Code v1.28.2 - commit 7f3ce96ff4729c91352ae6def877e59c561f4850
Environment:
Electron: 2.0.9
Chrome: 61.0.3163.100
Node.js: 8.9.3
V8: 6.1.534.41
Architecture: x64

Abourass · 2019-01-01T16:48:25Z

Same and its all Sass extensions, not just this one. I tried installing node-sass globally, hoping perhaps it was that. It was not.

Tigerlady · 2019-01-15T18:29:01Z

I too am having this issue.

SimonMayerhofer · 2019-02-04T09:20:11Z

Same. Seems like it can't handle comments like this:

//@import "plugins/xxx";

at least that's was the problem at my side.

ghost · 2019-02-06T22:50:19Z

also having issues, but only after vs code updated.

samirdjelal · 2019-02-10T17:42:21Z

Same here, after latest vscode update it seems stopping with the same error

davidcsida · 2019-02-11T09:32:05Z

I'm also experiencing the same problem when using @import.

davidcsida · 2019-02-11T09:37:00Z

I found out that crashes only happen while writing @import. If I finish writing the path and restart the extensions, everything works perfectly.

samirdjelal · 2019-02-11T09:44:38Z

I don't use @import at all but i still get that crash, even that i made my scss empty again to findout if the file is content crashing the ext, but it even crash on empty file. while I changed the priject to find out that it works on some projects

yehudaTiram · 2019-02-18T08:03:41Z

In my case the problem was solved by removing "Image Preview" Extension. For some reason it caused live-sass-compiler to generate "Extension host terminated unexpectedly."

norixx · 2019-02-19T10:59:36Z

@yehudaTiram It worked for me too. Some code confliction?? I cannot tell which extension causes this error, I've removed 'Image Preview' for the time being.

yehudaTiram · 2019-02-19T15:07:13Z

I guess both can't work together.

FelesNoctis · 2019-02-21T01:40:12Z

This should be resolved with Image Preview 0.17.4. My environment's working correctly again with both enabled.

kisstkondoros/gutter-preview#40

mattgriffiths4 · 2019-04-16T10:06:36Z

Is anyone else still having this issue? Every time I start writing @import in my main.scss file it crashes the sass-compiler extension? I don't have the image preview extension installed either... really annoying!

eteisman · 2019-05-02T13:46:33Z

I now have the same issue. One very similar project is OK, the other crashes.
But I absolutely cant make sense of why this is happening at all.

Update: I am no longer able to build my project. It is broken, and no idea why!!!

Update 2: After re-creating my workspace from GIT, the sass-compiler works again.
I am unable to figure out why the sass-compiler crashes in one directory, yet compiles in the other.

mizhon · 2019-05-18T12:21:08Z

I don't install the "Image preview" extension but still get the same crash error. So I think that's not the common method to fix this issue.

SmithWebDev · 2019-05-21T15:06:05Z

My issue was with the Live Sass Compiler... once uninstalled, no longer had the same extension host error

FelesNoctis · 2019-06-09T03:58:13Z

I can confirm that I've been having this issue again, and only with files with @import. Specifically, in the project I'm working on, these imports work perfectly fine due to the environment configuration (as in, the program in question utilizes them just fine), but that environment is also non-standard. Effectively, the program itself is reading the core SCSS files from one folder and using those import paths as a reference, and then has a different folder outside of that path that actually has the files. VSCode is confused as all hell, but the program knows what its doing.

That being said, obviously it's difficult for Live SASS Compiler, or anybody else for that matter, to adapt to strange environments like that. However I AM surprised that an error catch hasn't been designed yet. LSC shouldn't be so brittle that another extension can kill it.

Also see:
enyancc/vscode-ext-color-highlight#53

FelesNoctis · 2019-06-09T04:04:10Z

As an example:

css/bootstrap/_bootstrap.scss targeting files within css/bootstrap/bootstrap/
This works entirely as expected within VSCode, no extension issues.

css/bootstrap.scss targeting files within css/bootstrap/bootstrap/
Explosions, lasers, death, destruction, and the extension host failing.

As above, the second example above works fine within the program itself for various reasons, but VSCode isn't aware of that environment so it has a seizure. And no, I have no idea why the project is set up this way.

This isn't the first time I've run into an issue with another extension making Live SASS Compiler eat itself and take the extension host with it, which, as above, is why I'm surprised there isn't an error catch for this sort of thing implemented. It shouldn't burn the house down for a roach.

ErSulba · 2019-07-13T16:37:28Z

i'm having the same error while the highlight-colors and live-sass-compiler extensions are running, it's kinda annoying since you have deactivate the highlight colors extension if you want to continue using the sass compiler

PiotrGrzy · 2019-07-18T13:05:46Z

Same thing here, happes only when using @import...Anyone solved this problem?

airosu · 2019-07-19T19:52:43Z

I am also having this issue running both live sass compiler and color highlight extensions. I was able to fix this by setting the supported languages for color-highlight to everything except for scss in settings.json

"color-highlight.languages": [ "*", "!scss" ]

russmatt · 2019-08-28T11:53:02Z

Apparently solved disablingthe extension and re-enabling it after opening the project.

ZippoLee12138 · 2019-09-21T14:29:13Z

Thank you!

zhaluza · 2019-09-21T19:49:33Z

This seems to fix it for me — thanks!

SuiYoung · 2020-01-28T18:15:35Z

Thank you for this!
There's an extension conflict with "color highlight" extension. This addition to settings.json fixed the issue. No more crashes.

alimertcakar · 2020-02-25T19:19:34Z

adding an empty /* */ end of a scss file crashes the extension also.

sumandeveloping · 2020-04-06T15:44:45Z

It worked for me superbly.....

power-f-GOD · 2020-04-14T08:59:49Z

For me, the issue was caused by Live Sass Compiler. If it's same with you, do these:

Reload extension host;
Uninstall LSC;
Reload VS Code;

That should fix the error. If you need something like LSC, do the following:

Install node-sass globally with npm i -g node-sass;
Then run (in watch mode) with node-sass -w --output-style=compressed path/to/file.scss path/to/file.min.css; and it's way faster than LSC in compilation.
Note that the watch and output-style flags are optional.

PS: You can add a "sass" prop/key in the "scripts" section of "package.json" and assign it a value of the script to run: node-sass -w --output-style=compressed path/to/file.scss path/to/file.min.css; with that you can then run npm run sass from your project directory to compile your SCSS file(s).

shubhdevelop · 2020-05-17T13:33:21Z

Thanks man this seriously made my day, I was googling some solution for hours worked for me!

jibaraakira · 2020-05-31T13:32:47Z

For my "Extension host terminated unexpectedly" , console error says TypeError : cannot read property 'length' of undefined .

This error occurred even after setting “ color-highlight.languages ”: [“ * ”,“! Scss ”] to setting.json.

jibaraakira · 2020-05-31T14:41:53Z

I have resolved this error. As a method, I realized a little by rewriting the js file of "Live Sass Compiler". The process of work until resolution is as follows.

First, find the following folder. (This is the Windows path.).This is the cause of the error.C:\Users\<user>\.vscode\extensions\ritwickdey.live-sass-3.0.0\node_modules\sasslib\sass.sync.js
Format sass.sync.js with "js-beautify". The reason is that the part to throw error is in the one liner, and it is specified by indenting it. (we recommend making a copy of sass.sync.js.)
Start Vscode with formatted code, generate the error mentioned earlier, and see the console screen of the developer tool. Actually, the image of the error in the comment just before this comment is the console screen.
Then, according to the number of lines in the error message, I found the following part of sass.sync.js and commented out like this.

        process["on"]("uncaughtException", (function(ex) {
         //if (!(ex instanceof ExitStatus)) {
         //   throw ex
         //   }
        }));

This is the end. Now you can use Live Sass Compiler.

thinksea927 · 2020-06-03T08:49:30Z

Thanks Jibaraakira, I follow your way and seems it works!
btw, i didn't use js-beautify since i got some issue from making js beautify, so i deleted the commented part instead.

ricardo-martinez-dev · 2020-06-04T17:43:59Z

In case anyone is still having problems with the extension, I've noticed that if I use @import with the wrong address it'll cause the extension to terminate. It's worthy checking it and give it another try.

alapo92 · 2020-06-08T17:44:18Z

I have found this to help with the issue as well ! Thanks Jibaraakira!

kitravee · 2020-06-12T19:35:29Z

Thank you airosu!

Ollie-lee · 2020-08-03T07:24:27Z

Thank you so much! It works!

norixx · 2020-08-19T07:56:20Z

So this is the solid resolution so far. Thanx @jibaraakira

NwosaEmeka · 2020-09-04T17:59:09Z

Finally a solution that worked for me, thanks a lot

adhamaa · 2020-10-01T15:05:43Z

YEAY very helpful, thanks man...

Christopher-Hayes · 2020-12-20T04:12:16Z

Hey guys, @glenn2223 is continuing work on this extension in a new repo at: https://github.com/glenn2223/vscode-live-sass-compiler
This bug has been causing trouble for me too, but with Glenn's updated extension this bug has been fixed. I haven't had the extension host crash yet!
If you search for "Live SASS Compiler - Glenn Marks", you can test out the preview extension. Note that this extension uses Dart SASS which will have the latest SASS specs, but may run slightly different than the deprecated Node SASS.

new103 · 2021-01-04T12:43:17Z

Thank you! It works perfect!

Y1a2s3h4 · 2021-01-28T17:28:31Z

In my case when i use import "something" its terminated

fatherofphysics · 2021-04-26T17:07:59Z

Nothing is working in 2021 glen is died.....

glenn2223 · 2021-04-26T17:57:27Z

I am still actively maintaining my version of this project, please ignore @fatherofphysics comment

fatherofphysics · 2021-04-26T19:37:53Z

Improve SASS compiler please very fast it has bugs it cant compile scss. Fix this please kindly @fatherofphysics

glenn2223 · 2021-04-26T21:47:53Z

Try my version of this extension. Available at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=glenn2223.live-sass

If you still have problems then open an issue here -> https://github.com/glenn2223/vscode-live-sass-compiler/issues

norixx · 2021-04-26T23:33:53Z

@glenn2223 I will give it a shot to your version :)

stwgabriel · 2021-04-29T14:43:43Z

thanks bro this solved my problem, I believe that the two extensions conflict and causes this error

Mi-Ski · 2021-07-17T20:54:15Z

If you use something like 7-1 folder architecture and import files only in /main.scss this setting works even better - color highlight extension can still work in other files without causing this problem.
"color-highlight.languages": [ "!main.scss" ],

GAYOUNG914 · 2021-07-22T05:19:22Z

thank you sir you made my day

rivasspro · 2021-08-25T15:21:57Z

instale Live Sass Compiler by Glen Marks v5.1.0

VenomousFox · 2021-09-05T09:26:55Z

If you want to use the sass live compiler and color highlight extension without excluding scss
try installing Glenn Marks Live Sass Compiler Version it will solve the problem.
