* fix: strip command echo and prompt from terminal output (#303531) Prevent sandbox-wrapped command lines from leaking as output when commands produce no actual output. Adds stripCommandEchoAndPrompt() to isolate real output from marker-based terminal buffer captures. Also adds configurable idle poll interval and shell integration timeout=0 support for faster test execution. * Fix compilation errors * fix: tighten trailing prompt stripping to avoid dropping legitimate output Anchor prompt-detection regexes to specific prompt shapes instead of broadly matching any line ending with $, #, %, or >. This prevents stripping real command output like "100%", "<div>", or "item #". * Review feedback * fix: skip stale prompt fragments before command echo in stripping In CI, ^C cancellations leave stale prompt fragments before the actual command echo line. The leading-strip loop now continues scanning past unmatched lines until it finds the command echo, instead of breaking on the first non-matching line. * fix: handle macOS CI prompt format and add stripping to rich strategy - Add trailing prompt patterns for hostname:path user$ (no @ sign) - Handle wrapped prompt fragments like "er$" at line boundaries - Add stripCommandEchoAndPrompt to RichExecuteStrategy marker fallback - Context-aware wrapped prompt continuation detection * fix: Linux CI sandbox prereqs, platform-aware tests, broader prompt stripping - Add bubblewrap and socat to Linux CI apt-get install - Make sandbox test assertions platform-aware (macFileSystem vs linuxFileSystem) - Make /etc/shells test accept both macOS and Linux first-line format - Broaden wrapped prompt fragment regex to handle path chars (ts/testWorkspace$) - Fix continuation pattern to match user@host:path wrapped lines - Apply stripCommandEchoAndPrompt to getOutput() in BasicExecuteStrategy (basic shell integration lacks reliable 133;C markers so getOutput() can include command echo) - Keep RichExecuteStrategy getOutput() unstripped (rich integration has reliable markers) * fix: detect sandbox failures heuristically when exit code is unavailable * Relax some tests when shell integration is off * refactor: extract findCommandEcho and use prompt evidence to narrow trailing prompt regex matching * Cover case where the command is duplicated in `stripCommandEchoAndPrompt` * Fix sandbox tests for Linux: handle different shell path and error message - Handle /usr/bin/bash (Linux) vs /bin/bash (macOS) in /tmp write test - Handle 'Read-only file system' (Linux) vs 'Operation not permitted' (macOS) - Add 'Read-only file system' to outputLooksSandboxBlocked heuristic - Replace newlines with spaces (not empty) to handle terminal wrapping - Extract outputLooksSandboxBlocked as exported function with unit tests * Fix slash history test * Fix sandbox execPath resolution for remote environments Add execPath to IRemoteAgentEnvironment so the server sends its actual process.execPath to the client. The sandbox service now uses this instead of hardcoding appRoot + '/node', which only works in production builds. * Fix terminal output capture: prevent premature idle detection and handle partial command echoes - setupRecreatingStartMarker returns IDisposable to stop marker recreation before sending commands (prevents marker jumping on PSReadLine re-renders) - noneExecuteStrategy waits for cursor to move past start line after sendText before starting idle detection (prevents end marker at same line as start) - findCommandEcho supports suffix matching for partial command echoes from wrapped getOutput() results (shell integration ON with long commands) - Suffix matching requires mid-word split to avoid false positives on output that happens to be a suffix of the command (e.g. echo output) - Integration tests: use ; separator on Windows, add && conversion test, handle Windows exit code quirks with cmd /c * Fix mock in unit test * Address PR feedback: logging, performance, timeout, and docs - Strip sensitive data from debug logs (log metadata only) - Use array join instead of O(n^2) string concat in stripNewLinesAndBuildMapping - Add 5s timeout to cursor-move wait to prevent indefinite hangs - Align shellIntegrationTimeout descriptions (0 = skip the wait) * Install bubblewrap and socat in Linux CI pipelines These are required for terminal sandbox integration tests. * Force /bin/bash over /bin/sh for copilot terminal profile Shell integration cannot be injected into /bin/sh, causing loss of exit code detection. This matches the existing cmd.exe -> powershell override pattern. * Fix bracketed prompt without @ and cap trailing prompt stripping at 2 lines - Extend bracketed prompt patterns from isUnixAt to isUnix so prompts like [W007DV9PF9-1:~/path] are recognized (CI macOS prompt format) - Cap trailing prompt stripping at 2 non-empty lines to prevent over-stripping legitimate output - Add unit tests for bracketed prompt without @ format * Distinguish complete vs fragment prompts to prevent false stripping Split trailing prompt patterns into two categories: - Complete prompts (user@host:~ $, PS C:\>, etc.) stop stripping immediately — anything above is command output, not a wrapped prompt - Fragment patterns (er$, ] $, [host:~/path...) allow continued stripping to reassemble wrapped prompts This prevents falsely stripping output lines that happen to end with $ or # when a real complete prompt sits below them. Added adversarial tests verifying correct behavior for output containing prompt-like characters. * Attempt to cover up the `run_in_terminal` tool not being registered quickly
Visual Studio Code - Open Source ("Code - OSS")
The Repository
This repository ("Code - OSS") is where we (Microsoft) develop the Visual Studio Code product together with the community. Not only do we work on code and issues here, we also publish our roadmap, monthly iteration plans, and our endgame plans. This source code is available to everyone under the standard MIT license.
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a distribution of the Code - OSS repository with Microsoft-specific customizations released under a traditional Microsoft product license.
Visual Studio Code combines the simplicity of a code editor with what developers need for their core edit-build-debug cycle. It provides comprehensive code editing, navigation, and understanding support along with lightweight debugging, a rich extensibility model, and lightweight integration with existing tools.
Visual Studio Code is updated monthly with new features and bug fixes. You can download it for Windows, macOS, and Linux on Visual Studio Code's website. To get the latest releases every day, install the Insiders build.

Related Projects
Many of the core components and extensions to VS Code live in their own repositories on GitHub. For example, the node debug adapter and the mono debug adapter repositories are separate from each other. For a complete list, please visit the Related Projects page on our wiki.
Bundled Extensions
VS Code includes a set of built-in extensions located in the extensions folder, including grammars and snippets for many languages. Extensions that provide rich language support (inline suggestions, Go to Definition) for a language have the suffix language-features. For example, the json extension provides coloring for JSON and the json-language-features extension provides rich language support for JSON.
Development Container
This repository includes a Visual Studio Code Dev Containers / GitHub Codespaces development container.
-
For Dev Containers, use the Dev Containers: Clone Repository in Container Volume... command which creates a Docker volume for better disk I/O on macOS and Windows.
- If you already have VS Code and Docker installed, you can also click here to get started. This will cause VS Code to automatically install the Dev Containers extension if needed, clone the source code into a container volume, and spin up a dev container for use.
-
For Codespaces, install the GitHub Codespaces extension in VS Code, and use the Codespaces: Create New Codespace command.
Docker / the Codespace should have at least 4 Cores and 6 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended) to run a full build. See the development container README for more information.
