Databricks extension vscode - Socket is closed

Question

I cannot connect to Databricks using the vscode extension.
I get the error message: Databricks cannot login: Socket is closed.

I'm behind a company webproxy but setting HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY in powershell does not work.

Im on Databricks Extension v1.1.1, vscode 1.79 and Windows 10.

Answer 1

So I finally solved it and the issue was that vscode did not have proxySupport enabled by default. Adding these two rows in my vscode settings.json did the trick:

"http.proxySupport":"on",
"http.proxy": "http://<company-webproxy>:<port>",

After lots of searching this is where I found the solution: https://gist.github.com/PSJoshi/0831f635f9f5a7b9c602b80fbbf3125a#setting-up-proxy-support

However, in my case I didn't have to include user/passwd in the proxy-address.
