Extension Host Terminated Unexpectedly (vs code) Mac

I have been struggling with this vs code issue (extension host terminated unexpectedly).

I've tried uninstalling/ reinstalling vs code, I've uninstalled and disabled all my extensions and still get the error, I've downloaded an older version which worked temporarily, I'm out of ideas.

I don't understand how I can have no extensions but the still get the error? does anybody know the answer to this?

I solved it running in the notebook kernel:

pip install six

it seems I'm having the same issue as your from around the same time. I would suggest to add more infos, in my case for example

> MacOS X : 10.11.6 El Capitan
> VS Code Version: 1.57.1
> Commit: 507ce72a4466fbb27b715c3722558bb15afa9f48
> Date: 2021-06-17T13:28:32.912Z
> Electron: 12.0.7
> Chrome: 89.0.4389.128
> Node.js: 14.16.0
> V8: 8.9.255.25-electron.0
> OS: Darwin x64 15.6.0

After a long period of not using VS Code I found this alert always popping up

-Extension host terminated unexpectedly
                -Open Developer Tools   -Restart Extension Host

And restarting just repeated this alert. If I choose from the context menu (aka right click) Run a line/selection or Run Current File, either on terminal or in interactive window with Jupyter, it has no reaction (while a couple of days ago it worked perfectly, when I used it in offline cause there was no wifi)

In hope it could help you, here are what I tried:

  • to deactivate and reactivate the extension (cmd+shift+p > Reload With Extensions disabled)
  • to install a previous extension of Python ms-python.python (or whatever suit your case)
  • to run the command Bisect (cmd+shift+p > Help: Start Extension Bisect)

So far I found no solution for me.

Soon I will try to follow what sumitparakh commented in this github issue , meaning to save the former extensionHostProcess.js file (renaming it) and adding in its stead the file he provided

On Windows the location should be

C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\services\extensions\node\extensionHostProcess.js

While MacOS path should be:

'/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/services/extensions/node/extensionHostProcess.js'

UPDATE 1: after adding the file and reloading I get even this message

-Your Code installation appears to be corrupt. Please Reinstall
                                           -More information

UPDATE 2: I tried to follow this fix from a github issue . Here is the quote:

ehamwey commented on Jan 4

The following steps worked for me, after upgrading from an x86 build of vscode-insiders to Darwin arm64 (version 1.53.0-insider) I got the behavior described above.

Remove the folder: /Users/[your-home-folder]/.vscode/     # **NOTE:** I renamed it as a backup
This will remove all extensions and any vscode configurations from your system!
Reinstall vscode and any extensions

BUT, even after I reinstalled the same version 1.57.1 of Code the extension host error is there, without any extension yet installed... So maybe, I should try to revert to a previous update and maybe even reporting this issue

I'm open to suggestion aswell
