Extensions issues after update to vscode 1.47.0

[jkrgr0]

Issue Type: Bug

Every installed extension is gone after I've installed the latest vscode update.
The extensions pane loads infinite until i enter a search term and even the detailled page of an selected extension loads infinite.
The installation of a new extension is also impossible. After hitting Install the button changes to Installing and after two seconds to the settings "gear", so it seems that the extension is now installed. But the extensions seems not to be installed (Couldn't find it in the enabled section).
The context menu of the "installed" extension also does not work.

When I exit vscode, some processes remain running on the system without any CPU usage.

This issue also occurs on another machine (see details below).
The crazy thing is that the extensions are still recognized at least in the bug report.

I also have this problem. How can I solve it

[jkrgr0]

After installing the previous version of vscode (1.46.1) all installed extensions are available again and can be used as expected.

[liangjiancang]

Same problem for me.

[danforejtek]

Is I can see, the extensions do not run properly. No commands on the command pallette are available, the syntax highlighting and the linter does not work, etc.
If I perform a downgrade to v1.46.1, everything is working fine, all extensions are back again and they seem to work properly.

[vishusandy]

I have a similar issue (in Linux however), #98765, with extensions not loading in the extension bar (indicates its trying to load, but never actually loads); however the extensions are running. This affects multiple computers for me. The issue persists after reinstalling VS Code. After reinstalling the operating system it seems to work for a short amount of time (maybe a few days or so) and is broken again.

[gjsjohnmurray]

See also #102125 which contains a couple of log postings. Look to me like some people maybe have a faulty extension (or more than one) that's causing 1.47 to trip up when scanning user extensions.

[sandy081]

Those who are having this issue, can you please open your user data directory ie., where your settings.json exist and see if you have a file named extensions.json ?

[sandy081]

I can confirm that this is being caused by having extensions.json in the directory that contains settings.json. Generally this folder is owned by VS Code and creating any files there could lead to these kind of issues. Please check which extension is creating this file and log an issue against it. You can remove this file as a temporary workaround and disable the extension creating this file.

I am working on a fix for this (ie., to retain 1.46 behaviour) will be provided in our next recovery release.

[sandy081]

To verify:

• Create an extensions.json file next to settings.json in your user data dir with following content

  [
  {
      "id": "a"
  },
  {
      "id": "b"
  }
  ]

• Open VS Code and make sure extensions are loaded and running. Check extensions view and running extensions editor. Also check console for no errors.

[jkrgr0]

Yes, a extensions.json file exists next to settings.json in %APPDATA%\Code\User.

In my case Syncify creates the extensions.json file when it tries to synchronize the vscode configuration. Removing the extensions.json file and disabling the synchronisation of this extension prevents me from running in this bug again.

I've created the Issue#53 in the Syncify repository.
