cant connect to live share with c++

[tamliad123456]

Describe what happened:
when I try to connect to live share error pops up:

C++ language service is operating with reduced functionality due to a missing dependency service: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VC.ManagedPackageService.

What was your system configuration?
visual studio 2019
windows 10 19042
Live Share Extension Version: 1.0.2876.1 and also 1.0.3121.0
Target Platform or Language [e.g. Node.js]: c++

Steps to Reproduce / Scenario:
enter a live share link and open with visual studio 2019
you will connect but cant access any file and get the error.

@IlyaBiryukov Any thoughts here? I'm not familiar with the Connected Environment selection in the Output window.

[IlyaBiryukov]

I think "C++ language service is operating with reduced functionality" comes from CMakeCommandsClient.cs, and it's a red herring. Most likely some C++ service tried to get a proxy and could not because it's not a codespace. Luca may know more about this.

I would really like to know how to resolve this. This is keeping me from developing with a friend of mine.

[rikardmansson]

I have the same problem but with C#

[GreatBarrier86]

Same here with C# as well.

[LiverLord123]

Same hear with C#

@dJeePe Thank you for your feedback. Are you hitting this with the latest version of Visual Studio?

[jamesatgreymetis]

@dJeePe Thank you for your feedback. Are you hitting this with the latest version of Visual Studio?

Yes, I'm running the following

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019
Version 16.9.5
VisualStudio.16.Release/16.9.5+31229.75
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.8.04084
Installed Version: Professional

Live share version 1.0.4278.0

[dJeePe]

Yes, VS Community 2019 Version 16.9.5 and Live Share version 1.0.4278.0

[dJeePe]

i've just update VS to version 16.10 .. but still the message :
Visual studio is operating with reduced functionality due to one or more missing dependency services
Output Channel Consumer is operating with reduced functionality due to a missing dependency service: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.OutputChannelStore (0.1).

==> No intelliSense, no autocompletion, no intelliCode, no codeLens, no folding ...
When i launch a build : no error in list even if the build failed

Thank you

Trying to reproduce this on VS 2019 16.10 with Live Share 1.0.4278:

It looks like everything is working except the red squiggles for the errors are showing up in the wrong place, and the entries in the error list are duplicated. Is that what you all or seeing? Or something else?

[dJeePe]

As you can see on my screen below, there is no popup (neither for the autocompletion, nor for the display on MouseOver )

[daytonellwanger]

Thanks for that! I'm not sure what's different between our setups. Could you file an issue via Help -> Send feedback -> Report a problem in Visual Studio? That will attach all sorts of useful information that can help us debug.

[daytonellwanger]

Are the other folks on the thread experiencing the same problem as @dJeePe , or something else?

[dJeePe]

I just opened it: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/In-liveShare-I-have-no-intelliSense-no/1441486

Thank you for your time.

[daytonellwanger]

Thanks very much for that! I think I see what's going on. Working on a fix now. Hopefully have it out in the next week or so.

[daytonellwanger]

It looks like we forgot to bundle one of our dependencies with the extension. The dependency is included with some workloads (e.g. C++), which is maybe why we hadn't noticed until now.

We'll have this fixed in the next release. If you want to unblock yourself before then, you can manually add the dependencies. Unzip the following file and add the two dlls to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\LiveShare:

dependencies.zip

[DavidLazarescu]

Correct. Is the only issue that it's annoying? Or is there some other problem it's causing?

This is the only issue it's causing, or at least from what i saw til now.

Do you know if there is any way of working together on the same project live? Me and my friend would really like to use it or at least something similar

[AhmedMostafa16]

@AhmedMostafa16 what do you mean the Insiders version of Live Share? I wasn't aware that we had one 😁.

In Visual Studio's Settings of LiveShare, there is an option called "Features". We can change it from Stable to Insiders.

[daytonellwanger]

@Creapermann , can't you use Live Share after dismissing the error?

@AhmedMostafa16 , ahhh I see. Unfortunately changing that setting won't fix this issue - it's not actually a Live Share issue, so we'll have to wait for the appropriate VS component to fix it.

Wym with after dismissing the error?

[daytonellwanger]

If I'm understanding correctly, Live Share is working fine for you, you're just receiving an error notification on the guest. Can't you just close the error notification?

Its not just the error i get, the error detection is also not working

[AhmedMostafa16]

If I'm understanding correctly, Live Share is working fine for you, you're just receiving an error notification on the guest. Can't you just close the error notification?

plus we can't use any feature like debugging, IntelliSense, etc.

intellisense is working fine for me

[daytonellwanger]

@Creapermann ah, I see. Let's track that issue over at #4339.

@AhmedMostafa16 it sounds like you're encountering a separate issue. Did you go through the steps above of downloading the missing dependencies and manually placing them alongside Live Share?

As you mentioned previously, this is not a problem in LiveShare. I have tried the steps above of downloading the missing dependencies and manually placing them but in vain. I will just wait.
Thank you for your time, @daytonellwanger

[Baccanno]

Hey there, still the same here. Any update ?

VS 2019 16.11.15

[daytonellwanger]

Hey @Baccanno , there are a few different issues mentioned in this thread. What specifically are you bumping into? It may also help to open a separate issue to make things easier to follow.

This message appears on VS
Output Channel Consumer is operating with reduced functionality due to a missing dependency service: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.OutputChannelStore (0.1)

And I can't use any of VS functionality, only the text editing works. (No autocompletion/intellisense, no fix suggestions, unable to search files or follow to implementation, etc ...). It's very very blocking, I have 3 remote collaborators and it takes me forever to guide them. I remember it was working some month ago and I don't know what happened since then. We all are fully updated in VS and Live Share plugin (This is what I was showing in the previous issue).

[beckerrobin]

This did not solve anything for VS 2022 Version 17.0.3.

[arsium]

Got same on Visual Studio 2022 17.1.1

[cheesi]

We tried out Liveshare today (C#) and all three of us got the same error message:
Output Channel Consumer is operating with reduced functionality due to a missing dependency service: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.OutputChannelStore (0.1)

Visual Studio 2022: 17.1.3
Live Share 2022 (extension):1.0.5273.0

[Davsterl]

Hello,
The reduced functionality error message is a bit benign, but should be fixed in an upcoming version of VS.

[Halal-Dev]

Still happening for myself and @pmomtoyam
