There are dozens of bugs already open for this issue, and it appears the maintainers of this project haven't been active in several months. I've published a version of the extension with the required fixes here. https://github.com/maddogjt/vscode-arduino/releases/download/v0.3.2%2Bserialfix/vscode-arduino-0.3.2+serialfix.vsix

Prerelease build for the serial port issue is here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-arduino/releases/tag/v0.3.3-rc

I plan to publish a release with this fix tomorrow, Oct 30.

@robotdad I've not tried the prerelease build yet but just wanted to say - on behalf of all the plugin users - THANK YOU for your hard work.

@robotdad Excellent - it works for me :-)

1. Update VSC to 0.50.1
2. Download 0.3.3-rc
3. Drag the vsix file over the extensions panel to install

Thank you

Resolved in the 0.3.3 release
