Failed to fetch (self-signed certificate)

[lpezet]

Hello!

I just installed the extension in VSCode (1.58.2) on Mac (BigSur, 11.5). I can compile and run ECL code but it won't display results in the "HPCC: [workunitid]" panel.
Instead if says:
0: Failed to fetch - 0 Issues, 0 Results.
I can click on the globe to get to the ECL Watch page in my browser and see everything there (including the expected Result 1 I'd like to see in VSCode).
I turned on "ecl.debugLogging" in settings.json (and restarted VSCode) but I don't see any output besides the usual INFO logs in the OUTPUT panel.
My eclcc.log file only mentions loading library files.

I use HTTPS protocol with username and password in my launch configuration (and Http Proxy set to off in global settings).

What am I doing wrong?
Is there a way to get more logs about that "Failed to fetch" problem?

@lpezet - What server version are you targetting?

man I tried to provide it all in first post and I forgot that one! Sorry!
Server is 8.2.0-2.

Also to see the additional logging you will need to look here:

Unfortunately I don't think there will be any additional information there, because the result view is an embedded HTML page within VSCode...

But instead if you select Developer: Open Webview developer Tools:

And look in network tab for failed fetches (WUResult):

Oh ok. I didn't have those DEBUG logs and turned out I need to set "ECL: Debug Logging" in the Extension Settings and NOT in the settings.json (when I mouse over "ecl.debugLogging" in settings.json VSCode ddid warn me "This setting can be applied only in application user settings"). My bad.
I see the DEBUG logs and nothing that helps like you said.
In the Network tab, I see WUQuery.json requests that failed. If I copy those requests for like curl, they work fine BUT ONLY if I don't verify the SSL certificate (I'm using a self-signed cert right now).
Looking at the Console tab I see "Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CERT_INVALID" for those WQuery.json requests.

Sigh...any way to make it work with self-signed certificates?

If you add it to your Chrome / Chromium settings it might get picked up by VSCode as well?
(chrome://settings/privacy -> Manage Certificates)

So I tried to import my self-signed certificate in Keychain Access, but it doesn't seem do any good (it reads the certificate just fine, but still have the same issues).
Found another way until I figure that one out (or use a CA issued one):
code --ignore-certificate-errors

That works for me and now I see my query results in VSCode!

Thank you so @GordonSmith for this super helpful and very responsive support!

Good find - the following extension may help as well (for our windows users): https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ukoloff.win-ca
