Issue #73 mentioned that at the time of the fix electron version was 30, so rebuild enabled support of versions 30 and 31. Mine is 32, unfortunately... Uninstalling/reinstalling the extension, obviously, didn't help, that's why i'm raising the issue. Could it be due to node.js update? And what to do in this case? Can i downgrade electron somehow?

[g0ldfinch]

OK, Extension page has the following info: That is, the extension was updated a few days ago... that's, probably, where electron v.32 is coming from...

Hi @bimalkjha , i noticed you fixed bug #73 - i wonder if you are still available to fix this one... Or, if it's just a matter of rebuilding the native modules and repacking the extension, can this be done by users like me? (I've never assembled any extension, but with clear instructions i may be able to do that as electron is a javascript-based application.) Then i may even be able to support it in such cases as this (:

@g0ldfinch I am looking into it and will update you soon. Thanks.

@g0ldfinch We have pushed fix for this issue. Please reopen vscode and try. Thanks.
