Description
Type: Bug
I am running VS Code 1.96.0 on a Mac, MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1, Darwin 24.1.0.
I have installed the Remote Development and Remote-SSH extensions, which work well for allowing me to edit files on a remote linux server. However, when I open the extensions panel, it shows no extensions installed on the server, and if I try to install an extension on the remote using the button on the info panel for the extension, it reports "Installing" forever.
The javascript console is reporting errors about non-existent files (on my Mac) inside of User/globalStorage that appear not to exist. I'm not sure why it's looking for extension data there.
But, assuming that error message is not the problem, there is some other problem I'm not able to see. The "Remote - SSH" Output view shows the extension copied into data/CachedExetnsionVSIXs/UUID, and then reports "Installing extension:" and a JSON block. But, then it just sits.
