Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Steps to Reproduce:

When update comes, it downloads thorugh cli and if it it fails server connection is gone for ever.

Cache (Windows):

$USERPROFILE\vscode-remote-wsl\stable\6a44c352bd24569c417e530095901b649960f9f8

Issues found:

it does rm -rf of existing vscode server before new version is completely downloaded.
There is no roll back if any failure is happening ( There is a cache is Windows in my case). Thus, thus vscode is stuck in error not able to connect. ( Permanant.)

Expected behaviour:

It should ideally download and then do rm -rf old package in the remote machine.
Make sure download is done and verified with hash.
or,
pro-actively download and then show update notification in vscode IDE.
