Error: Failed to read config file "/Users/…/.vscode/extensions/streetsidesof tware.code-spell-checker-spanish-2.3.4/@cspell/dict- es-es/cspell-ext.json"

Hi, I must've accidentally deleted something when doing npkill maintenance in my machine.

Everytime I open a project in VSCode I get the following message and most of the words are not recognized and are marked as error with blue skwiglys.

"/Users/…/.vscode/extensions/streetsidesof tware.code-spell-checker-spanish-2.3.4/@cspell/dict- es-es/cspell-ext.json" imported by "/Users/…/.vscode/extensions/streetsidesof tware.code-spell-checker-spanish-2.3.4/cspell- ext.json"

I tried installing cspell and running cspell link list and the list appears empty. Is there a way I can download or generate the missing file?

@moitorrijos,

That must be frustrating.

The easiest fix is to just delete the folders: ~/.vscode/extensions/streetsidesoftware.code-spell-checker-spanish* and re-install the extension.

Trying to install the dictionary separately and linking it isn't really advised.
