Unable to run 'magit status'

[David Palchak]

I just install edamagit v0.6.22 from the VSCode marketplace. When I try to run the command magit status, I see the following error toast:
"Command 'Magit Status' resulted in an error (Running the contributed command: 'magit status' failed.)"

Here is what I see in the Extension Host log:

I have a similar problem. While magit status works for me, everything interesting that I try to do results in e._repository.repository.exec is not a function.

For example, trying to show a commit by pressing ENTER results in the following log in process.magit:

[1] git show bb7d5aa4d808ab931b2bf4108115d12d9112731b
e._repository.repository.exec is not a function

This is with VSCode on Windows 11:

You're both running pretty old versions of VSCode. I recommend you upgrade and it should work.
I will update the minimum vscode version requirement, to the version that changed the exec method name.
Today it's too low:

  "engines": {
    "vscode": "^1.50.0"
  },

Thank you for the quick response. I can confirm that I no longer see the problem with latest VS Code and can now explore your extension.

(BTW: I do not update VSCode, because it tends to regularly break my workflow. For example, after updating just now I had to "trust" my own projects. A quick search for "security.workspace.trust.enabled": false got rid of this malarkey.)
