Deprecated extension recommendation: Volar

[theking2]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.92.2
• OS Version: Win10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a vue3 project
2. Vscode recommends Volar

Is this happening for a specific vue3 project that you have cloned from GitHub {or similar)? Or for a new one you create from scratch?

[theking2]

It is an intern project that was cloned.

Is there something in the settings that could cause this? The only specific setting I find is this:

    "[vue]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "octref.vetur"
    },

Can you please open recommendations (using filter dropdown) in the extensions view and let us know what it shows?

[theking2]

This is what I see when opening a Vue3 project:

So it is still recommended but not in the list of recommended extensions

[theking2]

This is in dev console, not sure if this helps:

Is there an extensions.json file in the .vscode folder of your workspace?

Or if you are using a .code-workspace file to open it, does this contain an extensions.recommendations section?

See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-marketplace#_workspace-recommended-extensions

Thanks for asking and yes there is a extensions.json in .vscode. This project currently has no workspace.

extensions.json

I just went back through the gh history of this file and it was part of the original commit when the project was transfered to gh.

It seems the recommendation is a left over of that commit. Suggestions 1) update the recommendations section each time the project is openend, or 2) timestamp the recommendations section and inform the user when this recommendation has entered the project. I am not sure if perhaps npm vue@lastest just add(s|ed) this upon creation.

Thanks for sharing the file. It seems the Vue.vscode-typescript-vue-plugin extension is part of the extension recommendations and therefore it is shown as the recommendation.

I believe it make sense to not to recommend deprecated extensions even if they are part of recommendations file given that these files can be outdated.
