[BUG] - extension not working anymore - placeholders not interpreted

[kbsali]

Hi, I am really unsure how to debug this, but for 10 days now the extension is not working at all. The commands are not executable and the translations are missing (only seeing the translation keys). Could it be a conflict with another extension ?

Environment/version

• Extension version: v12.8.0
• VSCode version: 1.88.1
• OS version: Linux Manjaro

thanks for your help (and the awesome extension :))

Hi @kbsali ,

I think you may be facing an installation/update issue, as in the end of March, a new version was released. This new version added Czech translation and embraced localization of other resources inside the extension.

To kind of debug this, you could call the Extensions: Toggle Developer Tools command, and look for the Console window, for messages about localization files. Or you could call the Extensions: Open Extensions Folder command and open the alefragnani.project-manager-12.8.0 folder, and look for package.nls.json file (as it seems you are using English locale), and see if the files are equals to the ones on this repo.

Otherwise, I would suggest you to reinstall the extension, using a cold install:

1. Uninstall the extension
2. Close all VS Code windows (completely)
3. Reopen VS Code
4. Install the extension again.

This cold install process is necessary because it will ensure the old extension is removed from VS Code internals, prior to installing it again, otherwise it will simply reactivate the extension. If you are using Profiles, I suggest you to uninstall the extension from all profiles, before reinstalling it.

This shouldn't delete your settings nor your saved projects, but backups are aways our friends 😬

Hope this helps

perfect, reinstalling the extension AND restarting vscode in between did fix the issue! (too bad my settings are gone though :)) Thanks!
