Okay. I will install Windows 10 on a virtual machine and the versions you specified and try to find the cause of the error.

Thanks for the video demo of the error.

What vscode version and operating system version are you using and is nodejs installed?

from vscode-extensions-profiles.

Running Windows 10
VSCode Version 1.57.1
NodeJS 14.16.0 is installed and working as I was writing a similar extension before I came across yours.

I did some testing of my own and it seems that VSCode isn't generating a .obsolete file that you are trying to read:

This error is thrown upon load and the commands mentioned above

Thank you, now then I will quickly try to fix it.

Not sure if this is a one-off case fix or this can happen to others but navigating to C:\Users\hamol\.vscode\extensions and creating a file called .obsolete, then placing the 2 curly brackets into the file:

{}

seems to fix any issues...
And it doesn't seem to break anything, all of my extensions are still there and all, so I guess just generating the file if its not there will fix future similar cases.

I have released an update fixing this bug.

The ".obsolete" contains a list of extensions to be ignored. This is necessary because the folder with extensions may contain outdated versions of the same extensions.

For example:

Thanks so much for a fast fix, I have updated and will use the extension for a couple weeks and see if any issues arise... other than that, AMAZING extension and thanks again.
