It is not duplicate as fas as I can see.

joaomoreno · 2020-03-31T15:12:33Z

Can you please provide a screen recording?

selfrefactor · 2020-03-31T15:40:00Z

i will try and post later today

selfrefactor · 2020-03-31T19:29:34Z

Meanwhile I changed to LinuxMint and I cannot reproduce it. So it seems that we can blame Ubuntu in this case(as the hardware and the setup is the same).

joaomoreno · 2020-06-24T13:00:11Z

@selfrefactor Can you provide that screen recording? Thanks.

From @selfrefactor:

@joaomoreno
I cannot comment on the original issue as I am not a collaborator

In this recording not only I had to restart VSCode, but also to click the icon to update the branches. Usually only restart of VSCode is enough and click of icon is not necessary.

joaomoreno · 2020-06-24T13:57:46Z

Oh.

We automatically fetch remote branches but only once every 3 minutes by default. You can tweak this with the git.autofetchPeriod setting.

Then, if you click Sync and the branch is still not there, that would be because GitHub itself takes some time to update the branch creation and might still not return the new branch. So your issue really seems to be with GitHub itself.

You can check which branches get downloaded when you click the Sync action, by running Git: Show Git Output and looking at the output when you click it.

selfrefactor · 2020-06-24T13:59:57Z

But then why restart helps it and why pressing the icon doesn't help?

joaomoreno · 2020-06-24T14:01:38Z

Pressing the icon helps. Just wait a few seconds before pressing it.

selfrefactor · 2020-06-24T14:12:22Z

@joaomoreno For me the issue is not solved.

All I see is that if I do indeed change git.autofetchPeriod to 30, then after 30 seconds and pressing the icon, I am indeed able to see the new branch.

With the default setting, no matter how many times I press, I does not. I see that the git.autofetchPeriod has priority over manual click to update branches. Issue is real, feel free to keep it closed, but it is my last issue I am opeining for VSCode as I am not happy that this issue was so easily closed without waiting for my response.

joaomoreno · 2020-06-24T14:13:27Z

OK. Please check the Git: Show Git Output, it will show what happens when you press the action.

Also can you show me your full settings file?

selfrefactor · 2020-06-24T14:17:49Z

Create a new branch eee

This is result of click and after few seconds another click:

> git pull --tags origin bug
From github.com:selfrefactor/rambda
 * branch            bug        -> FETCH_HEAD
> git status -z -u
> git symbolic-ref --short HEAD

> git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name bug@{u}
> git rev-list --left-right bug...refs/remotes/origin/bug
> git for-each-ref --format %(refname) %(objectname) --sort -committerdate
> git remote --verbose
> git config --get commit.template
> git pull --tags origin bug

This is settings file but you have to admit it is strange to comment so much on a closed issue.

I made also a run with disabled extensions, just so we can be sure that this is a valid issue. The result is the same.

It doesn't happen only to Github, but with Bitbucket as well.

joaomoreno · 2020-06-24T14:46:17Z

Oh got it. Does it work if you enable the git.fetchOnPull setting? We don't fetch all branches by default when Sync runs, unless that setting is enabled.

selfrefactor · 2020-06-24T15:01:09Z

@joaomoreno your last comment makes sense. I will try it and get back to you tomorrow.
