[vscode insiders] Unable to import VSCode Extensions & Settings

twlite commented 1 year ago

Hello, I use vscode from the insiders channel and I wanted to try cursor. As suggested, I tried to import my extensions and settings from vscode insiders using this command:

Upon using that command, nothing actually happens. I do not see my settings or extensions in cursor. Is importing from insiders not supported yet? I am on windows 11 if that helps.

The same thing happens to me. There's another way to import VSC settings by clicking on the settings icon in the top right corner. Then you can click Start Import, but in my case, the label just changes to Done and nothing actually gets imported.

In my case the problem occurs on macOS. On Windows, I haven't noticed any problems (using the Insiders version of VSC as well).

You can try another approach which worked for me:

Open VSC and export your profile (Settings -> Profiles -> Export profile. Save it as gist and copy url).
Go to Cursor and import your profile (Settings -> Profiles -> Import profile. Paste gist url.

But there's another issue because not all extensions are being imported. I exported like 20+ extensions and only 8 got imported by Cursor. Missing extensions I had to install manually.

One easy solution I found is to sync your VSC insiders settings with github, and install a standard stable Visual Studio Code Studio,sign-in, and turn on settings sync. Once it's done, you can import all the settings in the cursor app.

For some reason, this problem appears to happen only on a Windows PC, as on MacOs the migration is going flawlessly!
