VS Code and VS extensions don't provide actionable error messages #540

Description

@bamarsha

There are several bug reports featuring error messages from the Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio extensions:

These error messages don't provide enough information for the user to solve the problem, and they don't provide enough information for us to find the cause. While more detailed logs exist (Help -> Toggle Developer Tools in VS Code and Activity Log in VS), it's not easy to find these logs unless you already know where to look.

I think the extension error messages should:

  • Include more informative error details directly in the message.
  • Include a button to open more detailed error logs, or instructions for where to find them.
