vscode Extension not found (that is not even installed)

[klausbreyer]

Hey ya'all. Long time topgrade user, cool feature for the VS Code Extension!

But weird behaviour on my Mac (Sonoma):

── 11:38:01 - Visual Studio Code extensions ────────────────────────────────────
Installing extensions...
Extension 'cssho.vscode-svgviewer' not found.
Make sure you use the full extension ID, including the publisher, e.g.: ms-dotnettools.csharp
Extension 'alefragnani.bookmarks' is already installed.
..
Extension 'timvaneker.serverless-snippets' is already installed.

I was confused. It was not even installed. The extension in question is even unpublished!

So I had a look. I found a trace in ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/sync/extensions/lastCycextensions.json

lastSyncextensions.json

I don't know what you are parsing for this update script, but it should check if extensions are still there, I think.

Cheers,
Klaus

Could you please try:

This is the interface we use to collect your extension list

$ code --list-extensions

[SteveLauC]

From the VS Code GUI interface, is this extension installed?

It was not even installed

I guess the answer is no

If their GUI and CLI are giving different results, this is probably a bug of VS Code, and we should solve the upstream issue first

BTW, do you remeber how did you install this extension? Did you manually install it (i.e., from source, you build it and install it)

[klausbreyer]

Sadly, I do not remember how and when I installed the extension.

It is there when listing:

But not in the interface: (I guess because it is pulled from the marketplace?)

[SteveLauC]

Well, their CLI and GUI are behaving differently, I think we should report this to them, but since we don't know how this extension gets installed, we don't know how to reproduce the issue...

[klausbreyer]

I guess it was mostly because the extension was pulled of the marketplace. Hard to reproduce, yes.

I uninstalled it with this:

code --uninstall-extension cssho.vscode-svgviewer

now I am fine.

In case somebody stumbles upon this ticket.
