It builds successfully on the ci. These errors must be related to your environment.

For me it successfully builds locally , here is the output

I can't decide what caused the error with these provided info about your environment

[Muhammad Sammy]

It builds successfully on the ci. These errors must be related to your environment.

Can you also publish CI build version of vsix file on master?

Sure! opened #16 to track this.

It seems the issue is because npm i is trying to connect to private Microsoft npm repository to restore packages, not sure why its there in omnisharp/omnisharp-vscode

error An unexpected error occurred: "https://msazure.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/MLS/npm/registry/emitter-component/-/emitter-component-1.1.1.tgz: Request failed \"401 Unauthorized\"".

It never showed up for me at installation, but I will investigate the cause of this.

[Muhammad Sammy]

found this in package-lock.json and others similiar to it:

https://github.com/muhammadsammy/free-omnisharp-vscode/blob/9d4a5919c1d3707ca2b7e134e1abdad8630d2c82/package-lock.json#L3490-L3493

btw are you using latest npm vrsion (7.5.x)?

[Muhammad Sammy]

Also the CI now provides build artifacts (#17)

[pm4rcin]

Let's close that issue. User is gone and it was probably his environment.
