Cannot open the file-save window #178978

Melebius · 2023-04-03T09:35:42Z

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

VS Code Version: 1.77, 1.78.0-insider
OS Version: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

Steps to Reproduce:

Install VS Code 1.77 or later and launch it.
Write some text to a file.
Try opening the file-save dialog window by any of the following options:
- Ctrl+S or File > Save in a new file
- Ctrl+Shift+S or File > Save as... in an existing file
- try to close the editor, then choose Save in the window Do you want to save the changes...

Expected behavior:

The file-save dialog window should open.

Actual behavior:

Nothing happens.

Workaround:

Downgrading to 1.76.2 helps.

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette). Lastly, please attach this file via the GitHub web interface as emailed responses will strip files out from the issue.

Happy coding!

Here is my GIF.

I have the problem on Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, dialog window for saving a new file or opening file is not showing.

Thanks for creating this issue! We figured it's covering the same as another one we already have. Thus, we closed this one as a duplicate. You can search for similar existing issues. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!

This might be related: #178979

@bpasero This is NOT a duplicate of #146422. Look at my GIF: I have included the part of screen where a notification would show but none is there.

bpasero · 2023-04-03T11:47:47Z

Yeah could be #178979 then, lets track there.

@Melebius can you start the application like code-insiders --verbose and follow the steps to open the save dialog. Attach the generated output in this issue thread.

Melebius · 2023-04-05T12:35:55Z

Can you install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and see if the file dialog works.

Melebius · 2023-04-05T13:54:03Z

After I ran sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and rebooted my machine, the open and save dialogs do open. (They did not work before reboot.)

deepak1556 · 2023-04-05T13:57:36Z

Thanks for confirming!

deepak1556 · 2023-04-21T15:48:21Z

Closing as we removed portal support with #180238

alexr00 · 2023-04-27T13:46:26Z

What is the best way to verify this issue?

deepak1556 · 2023-04-27T22:03:04Z

@alexr00 the verification requires specific OS setup that does not have portal support, I will ask the OP to verify this instead.

VSCodeTriageBot · 2023-04-28T07:19:52Z

This bug has been fixed in the latest release of VS Code Insiders!

@Melebius, you can help us out by commenting /verified if things are now working as expected.

If things still don't seem right, please ensure you're on version 5b6af07 of Insiders (today's or later - you can use Help: About in the command palette to check), and leave a comment letting us know what isn't working as expected.

Happy Coding!

Melebius · 2023-04-28T08:28:49Z

/verified
I’ve just checked the problem is resolved in VS Code Insiders 5b6af07. Thank you!

After running sudo apt remove xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and rebooting my machine, I am able to enter an open or save dialog in VS Code Insiders 5b6af07 (unlike VS Code 1.77).
