Answer 1

Please ensure that you are on the latest version of VS Code. I'm on 1.39.2 and the following works for me:

• From the command palette, sign in to Azure using Azure: Sign in.
• Then Azure: Open Bash in Cloud Shell, like you mentioned.
• Upon selecting your directory, you'll see something like this:
• As the pop up in the bottom right corner shows, the first launch of Cloud Shell in a directory requires setup in the web application. Click on Open.
• You'll see a prompt similar to this:
• Clicking on Open Link will open up https://shell.azure.com. Sign in to your account there.
• Once that is done, perform Azure: Open Bash in Cloud Shell again. Now that you're signed in to Azure on Cloud Shell, you'll see this on your VS Code window:

Hope this helps!
