Error retrieving remote IBMQ device status

Informations

  • VSCode version:
  • Qiskit [Terra / Aqua / other] version:
  • Qiskit VSCode Extension version:
  • Operating system:

What is the current behavior?

Related to #2, #34, #35. We rely on a semi-manual devices list, and it leads to breaking the extension when those devices or their name change.
Currently, the extension fails when the user clicks on the button IBM Q devices status.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Click on that button

What is the expected behavior?

Get the status of the different remote devices.

Suggested solutions

Fix the list of devices or much better make a dynamic list of devices based on Qiskit methods.

Finally, it seems the error is not related to the manual list rather than there is a new Qiskit version 0.8 https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/releases. We must improve the checks for Qiskit version since now the Qiskit version does not correlate to Qiskit-Terra version (on which we rely on).
