[azure-policy-vscode-extension][bug] : Extension fails to initialize when Azure [email protected] is installed

[asilverman]

Dear Azure Policy Extension Maintainers,

I just had a conversation with @Chris Stackhouse related to the issue in the email thread “RE: I am unable to use or understand how to use the extension for my use-case”. It appears that the extension initialization hangs when Azure [email protected] is installed.

Desired Behavior:
The extension should work with the latest versions of all of its dependencies. In case of a failure, the extension should provide an informative message in the ‘Azure Policy’ output pane

Actual Behavior:

See how the contents in the left panel will not load and will hang indefinitely.

Environment Configuration:

I was able to workaround this issue with the support of @mentat9 by reverting the version of the Azure Account Extension dependency to v0.11.7

This issue doesn't repro on current versions of VSCode, and required extensions:

VSCode: 1.92.1
.NET Install Tool: 2.1.1
Azure Resources: 0.9.1
Azure Account: 0.12.0
Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Tools: 0.15.12
Azure Policy: 0.2.3
