No longer reports deployment errors to VSCode - Problems tab is not showing errors from a failed deploy

Summary

When deploying a new class (that contains invalid code) via the UI in VS Code, the problematic line/column is not reported in the “Problems” tab.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Create a new non-existent class in either an existing project or a new project.

2. Be sure to have a default org set.

3. The following code can be used as an example which contains a non-existent type “badType”: public with sharing class Junk { public Junk() { badType i = 1; } }

4. Right-click the file in the VS Code Explorer and select “SFDX: Deploy Source to Org”

5. Observe results.

Expected result

Deployment fails. Error highlighting line/column and reason for error is in the “Problems” tab.

Actual result

Deployment fails. Problems tab continues to show “no problem” and no indication is reporting why it failed.

@austinsholmes @tschroedertn This seems to be an issue with the latest version (7.113.0) of SDFX CLI. Could you try turn on the VS Code setting "salesforcedx-vscode-core>Experimental: Deploy Retrieve"? That will allow you to deploy with the SDR library instead of CLI.

@xyc and @austinsholmes - this is happening for me too. Whenever I have compile errors and deploy my Apex class to my sandbox, it returns “exit code 1” rather than showing the errors in the Output tab. I then have to manually run the command (without JSON option) to see what the actual error is. I am hoping maybe this can be corrected because it really cuts down on productivity. I think this error started this week.
