  • GitHub Extension for Visual Studio version: unsure
  • Visual Studio version: 15.2 (build 15.0.26430.4)

What happened (with steps, logs and screenshots, if possible)
It appears that on some machines with 15.2 installed, users are seeing a CompositionFailedException from GitHub when opening the team explorer window. I've seen the same being reported in telemetry from the 15.2 release.

The callstack is:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Composition.CompositionFailedException: An exception was thrown while initializing part "GitHub.Services.VSGitServices". ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The inner exception is the most interesting part:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi @paulomorgado @AlexEyler, this is an known issue with VS2017 and initial install version of the extension failing when it is uploaded from the gallery (updating from 2.2.0.10 to 2.2.0.11). Did you install the extension during your initial install of VS2017?

In addition to above, if you have the time, some of the folks at Microsoft that we communicate with asked if you users could pass along some additional logs in regards to this. The tool to do this can be found here. Feel free to send a message to support@github.com if you'd prefer not to share those logs in this issue.

Microsoft is currently tracking a problem where updating the extension from the gallery fails if the extension was initially installed via the Visual Studio installer. @paulomorgado If you could run the tool @paladique linked to and share the logs with us, we'll pass them on to MS for analysis.

If this exception is indeed caused by a problem with the VS updater, then a workaround is to uninstall the extension first and then install it fresh from the gallery. Let us know if that works for you, that would be valuable information for us to know.

@AlexEyler Do you have some idea of how many users might be affected by this from your telemetry numbers?

It happens on VS2015 also and that is not a "fresh install".

Like @nemeth-tibor - I also experience this on VS2015, with version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3. The Github extensions version is 2.4.3.1737. It was installed from the VS Extensions dialog.

What worked for me was to use a combination of these two pages.
#1394
#987

In essence what I did to resolve was:

  1. Shut down all instances of VS2015
  2. Uninstall the extension using VS2015 developer command prompt vsixinstaller /uninstall:c3d3dc68-c977-411f-b3e8-03b0dccf7dfc
  3. Use "Agent Ransack" (or another search tool) to find all folders with GitHub.VisualStudio.dll file in the extensions folder of the VS2015 installation.
  4. Delete those folders found by "Agent Ransack"
  5. Download the extension from the marketplace
  6. Reinstall the extension
  7. Restart VS2015 and hey presto issue is resolved.

I hope that may help others who experience this issue.

I have VS 2015 v14.0.25431.01 Update 3.
Thanks @dibley1973 for those steps. In my case I got stuck at step 2 saying the VS2015 is using it even though it's already closed. I still proceeded the rest of the steps and it got resolved.
