Hello! I love the idea behind this extension, but when I try to apply a profile after creating it, it produces the following error...

VSCode: 1.66.0 (Universal)
Electron: 17.2.0

Node.js: 16.13.0
V8: 9.8.177.11-electron.0
OS: Darwin x64 21.4.0

When using SSH, all the extensions are active at once which consume too many system resources. Automatically transferring the profiles when suing SSH would allow for a more manageable experience and light on system resources. Depending on the number of extension, VSCode can become unusable.

When I disable all extensions except the profile extension which I have made global
then apply a profile it doesn’t enable the extensions in the profile.
Was this meant to be apart of the features?
If not, I think it needs adding or at least have an option.

I just installed this extension and when i used control shift p and then selected "Create Profile' I get the following error:

I've already tried disabling the extension, reenabling it and restarting vscode.

About VSCode Version:

Windows PC (Win 10)

Is this possible?

Hi,

I've created an Extension Profile, Restarted VSCode, Chose Extension Profile, Restarted VSCode again, Cleared cache and still al of my extensions (not the ones I chose) remain enabled...

I'm not sure what more information should I add here...
VSCode is updated to the latest version.

When creating a profile, the Create command returns an error.
Link to video showing the error

After some playing around, here is the breakdown of all non-functioning commands:

• Create : Running the contributed command: 'vscode-extension-profiles.Create' failed but only after specifying a name
• Refresh : Running the contributed command: 'vscode-extension-profiles.Refresh' failed

Other commands seem to work fine (considering that there are no profiles as I cannot create them).

I have tried multiple different workspaces and no workspace with no luck.

OS: Window 10
VS Code Version: 1.60.0

The Select and apply profile command doesn't work.

I tried many different workspaces and no workspace, but it still doesn't work.

Currently, it is not possible to switch profiles if a folder is not open.

Hi - does this extension actually enable the selected extensions and disable the unselected extensions when a profile is applied? I'm not seeing that behavior and I guess I'm wondering what the profiles actually do if they don't disable the unselected extensions when a profile is applied. Thank you.

OS: Window 10

This extension does not work with Remote - WSL extension. Running any command returns an error:

[exthost] [error] Error: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: unable to open database file vscode-extension-profiles.Create {"value":"evald24.vscode-extension-profiles","_lower":"evald24.vscode-extension-profiles"}

After reading your source code, I realized the problem is here:

When using WSL, the process.platform is linux, but the VS Code path is ${process.env.APPDATA}\\Code, resulting in the state.vscdb file does not exist.

hello,

first, i'd like to say, your extensions is so powerfull, usually I don't report issues, but i want improvment on this extensions, so i do.

i downloaded an extensions pack to create a profile for node.js and i got the error (Working folder not found, open a folder an try again.)
(https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=waderyan.nodejs-extension-pack)

so if you can help me 😦 im on Windows 10 and if you want more informations, i can give SOME !

It would be great to have the ability to clone a specific profile and make changes to it from there. Thanks for considering this!

I reenabled this plugin to retest, because it was failing to change plugins when changing to different profiles,
and I can no longer run any of its commands from the command palette anymore.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled the extension, cleared caches and removed workspaces and disabled all other plugins to no avail.

Extension Version: 1.0.6

I'm applying the settings and while it reloads the window, the desired extensions aren't enabled.

In my case I setup a profile with golang.go and some other Go tools.
Select & Apply -> Window reloads -> viewing @installed go shows the extensions still greyed out.

Enabled dev tools, but nothing logged to the console that I can see.
Not sure what else to check.

The extension seems super promising so thanks for your development effort on this!

Further development

Explanation: 💡 - pending, ⚙️ ️- in progress, ❌ - cancelled, ✅ - done

In parentheses are those who proposed this idea:

• 💡 Apply a profile to a set of selected workspaces;
• ✅ Global profile (drod3763, jlongo);
• ✅ Import selected profiles;
• 💡 Multiple (combine) apply of profiles (lakuapik);
• 💡 Recommendations for installing missing extensions;
• 💡 Convenient management of extensions for a separate project without linking to a profile or creating it;
• 💡 Create a profile from the current or selected project;
• ✅ Multiply delete profiles;
• 💡 UI to switch profiles, a dropdown box on the bottom status bar (dnmalenke).
• 💡 Support SSH/WSL

Or suggest other ideas 😌

Hi, having trouble using the extension from the start.
I use portable mode and it has trouble finding folders in profile trying to create one.
Is it looking in default %SystemDrive%\Users<username> windows folder?
Is it enough to edit json file or something?
Thanks

Hi !

I found a little bug that make this wonderful extension crash when the extension json-to-dart is installed when we want to create a profile. It comes from the following function in the utils.ts file:

export async function getAllExtensions() {
  const extPath = getExtensionsPath();
  let extensions: ExtensionValue[] = [];
  let obsolete: string[] = []; // default value

  if (fs.existsSync(extPath + ".obsolete")) obsolete = Object.keys(loadJSON(extPath + ".obsolete"));

  let all = await readdir(extPath);

  await Promise.all(
    all.map(async (name) => {
      if ((await stat(extPath + platform_slash + name)).isDirectory() && !obsolete.includes(name)) {
        let info: PackageJson = require(extPath + platform_slash + name + platform_slash + "package.json");
        if (!info.__metadata?.id)
          console.log(info);
        extensions.push({
          id: `${info.publisher.toLowerCase()}.${info.name.toLowerCase()}`,
          uuid: info.__metadata.id,
          label: info.displayName || info.name,
          description: info.description,
        });
      }
    }),
  );

  return extensions.sort((a: any, b: any) => {
    // eslint-disable-next-line curly
    if (a.label > b.label) return -1;
    // eslint-disable-next-line curly
    else if (a.label < b.label) return 1;
    // eslint-disable-next-line curly
    else return 0;
  });
}

It crashes at line 214 because the __metadata object is not present into the info object for the extension json-to-dart.

I propose that if the use of this __metadata object is mandatory for the extension then that the extensions which don't have it are skipped. Meanwhile I'm going to uninstall json-to-dart.

Hi - when I apply a profile, the enabled/disabled extensions don't actually change until I restart VS Code. Is this the intended behavior?

I've also tried using Developer: Reload Window after applying a profile and that does not work either. No matter what I do, it seems like the changes don't take effect until I restart the program. This is already an improvement over having no profiles, but it would be great to get this behavior without a restart.

I'm on Windows.

Thanks!

Is there a way to set a "global profile" that is the default? I'd like to have the ability to create a default profile so that when I open a folder in VS Code this default profile is what loads. But when I want to change it to a typescript profile, or a python profile, etc., then I can select a different profile for that folder.

It would be nice to have a default profile every time VSCode is opened. Currently, the last profile used it opened. This would be useful if someone has a lot of extensions (such as language support for many languages) but only needs limited functionalities such as GitLens and Git Tree, loading everything will be too slow and heavy on resources

Hi, I just did a simple test of your extension on Windows.

1. Enabling in workspace

Making a new profile and selecting an extension to be enabled in workspace, does not seem to have any effect when applying the saved profile.

How to test yourself:

• make sure to actually be in a workspace
• disable extension X globally
• create profile with extension X in it (to be enabled for workspace only)
• apply profile
• see no result

2. Where stored?

As a secondary question, where do you store the lists?

3. Thanks

Thanks for making this extension, 👍 🎉
