Latest Visual Studio Github Extension update crashes Visual Studio #2195
Description
Versions
- GitHub Extension for Visual Studio version: 2.7.0.6566
-- Connecting to GitHub Enterprise with Personal Access Token - Visual Studio version: 15.9.5
What happened
I was prompted to upgrade my GitHub Extension from 2.6.0.6193 to 2.7.0.6566. I did so. After restarting VS, I double-clicked a repo to open it and after about 10 seconds, Visual Studio hard-crashes with the message "Visual Studio needs to close". Reverting back to 2.6.0.6193 corrects this problem, but now I cannot open pull requests. I can see all pull requests but when I double-click the pull request, I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error.
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- After updating GitHub extenstion, Go to 'Team Explorer'
- Click on either a local or remote Repository
- Visual Studio crashes with "Needs to close" error message
Expected behavior
It should've opened the repository as normal
