Description

When starting vscode offline the extension starts loading but it doesn't show anything and this is ok because it is offline. But then, if I go online, it keeps the same way, loading forever. The only way to make the extension show the PR and issues data is restarting vscode when online. I tried the refresh button (which only appears on the issue section) and nothing.

I wish there were a command to reload de extension so it can load the PR and issues data without having to reload the whole vscode (this implies reloading all the extensions).

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the extension's behavior when VS Code launches offline and connectivity returns, then trace the extension's refresh and loading entry points. Done means PR and issue data appears after connectivity is restored without restarting VS Code or all extensions.
