VSCode extension incorrectly reports SSH agent is not running

[regner]

🐛 Bug description

I use the 1Password SSH agent locally for handling all my SSH keys. To use the 1Password SSH agent I have to disable and stop the default SSH agent service. When connecting to a Hocus workspace I get a prompt that my SSH agent is not running.

Source:

hocus/extensions/vscode_ui/src/extension.ts

Line 347 in ca01333

// The ssh agent is a global windows service

1Password docs: https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/get-started/#step-3-turn-on-the-1password-ssh-agent

It may make more sense to check ssh-add -l on Windows to see if a valid SSH agent is running. Here I run that command with the 1Password SSH agent enabled, and then again after disabling the SSH agent:

PS C:\Users\user> ssh-add -l
256 SHA256:.... SSH Key Name One (ED25519)
256 SHA256:.... SSH Key Name Two (ED25519)
PS C:\Users\user> ssh-add -l
Error connecting to agent: No such file or directory
PS C:\Users\user>

Environment

• Hocus extension: v0.0.8
