Importing solution extensions does not work

gabbsmo commented 5 years ago

I have created a vsext file using the "Managed extensions" context menu item on my solution.

{
  "id": "ef84d31c-c4cc-4dc4-9060-9be14892613a",
  "name": "FOO",
  "description": "BAR",
  "version": "1.0",
  "extensions": [
    {
      "name": "Command Task Runner",
      "vsixId": "fc1aafb2-321e-41bd-ac37-03b09ea8ef31"
    },
    {
      "name": "Markdown Editor",
      "vsixId": "9ca64947-e9ca-4543-bfb8-6cce9be19fd6"
    }
  ]
}

When I open the solution I get prompted to install the extensions. After I click Install... nothing happens. Importing manually from the Extensions > Import and Export extensions menu works as expected.

Using Visual Studio Enterprise 16.3.0.

Just tried this with 0.6.58 and the issue is reproducible with it as well as the version in the Visual Studio Gallery. Enabling "Install for all users" made no difference.

Just updated Visual Studio 2019 to 16.4.1 and the issue persists.

yep, bad news. Same issue

I am seeing the same issue using VS v16.5.1

I am seeing the same issue using VS v16.5.3.

A workaround: load 10 or 15 at a time: 47 extensions: 1 --> OK 10 --> OK 19 --> Fail 15 --> OK 2 --> OK

Is there actually a way to have solution extensions without having this extension installed? Something built in into Visual Studio? I mean, we are now at VS2022 17.4.4, someone must have thought about this already?
