Steps to Reproduce:

const url = 'https://www.google.com/'; (or https://dev.azure.com/)
const encodedUrl = encodeURI(url);
const uri = vscode.Uri.parse(encodedUrl);
vscode.env.openExternal(uri)

Result: [UriError]: Scheme contains illegal characters

Only the value 'https://github.com/' works fine.
How is this possible?

I have the same for many extensions; GitLab Workflow, Gemini Code Assist, etc.

I have problems with GitLens Extension

I just had a user complaining about the same problem, on the same vscode version..

[sjoukedv]

This appears to be an issue with "Command Palette" > "Manage Trusted Domains". If I insert "*" at the top, the link opens just fine. I had several entries in there without a protocol, adding https:// to all them solve the issue for me.

Thanks @sjoukedv ,
In my trusted domain list there was an entry like this: *.mydomain.com:8080.
I replaced this entry with *.mydomain.com (without port number) and now I can use all commands that open specific URLs.

In the previous version of vscode this entry worked fine.
Unfortunately the error message was not very clear.

Thanks again
have a nice day

For Vscode development team (@jrieken ):
The new rule *.mydomain.com does not work.
I get this confirmation window:

and after selecting the "Configure trusted domains" option:

• Trust http://srv-bcdev2.mydomain.com:8080: It works fine because it adds "http://srv-bcdev2.mydomain.com:8080" to the list of trusted domains.

• Trusted mydomain.com:8080 and all its subdomains: It does not work because it adds "*.mydomain.com:8080" to the trusted domains list and as a result all commands that open a URL do not work (this is my original problem). I believe this option should add the *.mydomain.com entry without the port number to allow all URLs of the entire domain to open. If I manual remove the port number from this entry, the rule does not work.

Can you solve this problem?

Here is where the failure is occurring:

You can see from the docs about trusted domains, that a domain starting with a * is supposed to be legal.

And yes, adding https:// to the front of the three highlighted trusted domains in my config does solve the problem.

The failure is not with the utility in pictured above, because it is indeed validating an invalid URI. The problem is that these trusted domain lists are not necessarily valid URIs, and should probably not be checked as such.

I am guessing that this bit right here changed recently:
