Code-settings-sync: command 'extension.updateSettings' not found

[ksmithut]

Visual Studio Code Version : 1.4.0
Code Sync Settings Version : 2.2.0
Operating System : Mac OS X 10.11.6

With this newest version, I tried running the Sync : Update / Upload Settings command from the command palette, and I get the following message on the top:

command 'extension.updateSettings' not found

Edit: Remove placeholder issue text

[jing2si]

Ditto
cd C:\Users\*\.vscode\extensions\Shan.code-settings-sync-2.2.0
npm install github4 -S
It can fix this problem.

@jing2si ‘s solution works for me.

How I can resolve this if I haven't intalled npm standalone?

npm not found on this computer.

[shanalikhan]

This is dependency problem , i will push the update in few hours :)

[shanalikhan]

I have pushed an update, let me if it solves the issue.

[Kirill]

Yes. It's work on Windows without npm

[PeterStaev]

This still seems to be a problem for me. Already tried reinstalling the plugin.
Visual Studio Code Version : 1.5.2
Code Sync Settings Version : 2.2.3
Operating System : Mac OS X 10.11.6

[shanalikhan]

Try manually deleting the extension folder and download again. Is there any console log

[PeterStaev]

@shanalikhan , I already did that. Basically any command does not work (not only upload). The only log i get is command 'extension.XXX' not found. On Windows the plugin works, but not on the Mac.

[PeterStaev]

Any news on this? I still have the problem with code 1.6.2 and macOS Sierra. Tried deleting the plugin folder and reinstalling, but the problem persists.

[shanalikhan]

@PeterStaev
i think this problem is arising due to some depending package which im am unable to debug in Mac due to unavailability of platform.

u have NPM installed ? and latest version for extension that is 2.3.3 ? try with installing all the npm modules in the package.json

[PeterStaev]

@shanalikhan , I decided to download the source and debug it locally, and seems the problem was that the syncSettings.json file somehow got wrong permissions (either during VS update or Mac upgrade) so the extension was not able to read it. I deleted it so it can be recreated by the plugin and now everything works! 👍

[shanalikhan]

Great !

[khaosdoctor]

Having the same issue after upgrading to code version 1.9.0

Visual Studio Code Version : 1.9
Code Sync Settings Version : 2.4.2
Operating System : Windows 10

[mcardia]

It´s happening here.
I already uninstalled vscode, deleted the files, reinstall vscode and install only the sync extension (no other extension).

VSCode 1.12.1

Any other tips? i tried everything that was posted here...

[shanalikhan]

@mcardia remove extension from code, and remove the extension folder in extenions folder and then install again.

[mcardia]

That I already did. Not only this . I uninstall all vscode, deleted the folder, the .vscode in my profile and then reinstall.

[shanalikhan]

@mcardia is there any exception logged in the developer console.?

[mcardia]

There is.

[kristoferdoman]

Keep getting this error today, command 'extension.updateSettings' not found. Any suggestions?

[shanalikhan]

What is the exception in console

The root path may be $HOME/.config/Code - OSS as $HOME/.config/Code/ doesn't exist.

[rohmanhm]

Uninstall, and reinstall extension solve the problem

note: don't forget to reload vscode after uninstall and reinstall

[shanalikhan]

@fkumro OSS build not supported in extension.

[Nikki1993]

@shanalikhan anyway to support it? VSCode currently does not provide (and I bet they won't in the near future) builds for Solus OS thus they build the VScode from source with marketplace enabled.

Or otherwise any other workaround possible :)

[shanalikhan]

I will support it in a near future, as alot more features are pending.
I havent used OSS build and dont know how much its behaviour is different with stable or insiders, if any one can send me a pull request with details about difference in API level and file system. i will accept it and release new build supporting OSS build.

[mudcrab]

@Nikki1993 as a workaround you can try ln -s ~/.config/Code\ -\ OSS/ ~/.config/Code. Worked for me. :)

[Nikki1993]

@shanalikhan
mudcrab solution worked perfectly. I don't think there is any API change between vscode and code-oss as code-os.

[shanalikhan]

Yes @mudcrab solution works.
I will add support soon.

[Nikki1993]

@shanalikhan re-open the issue then? :) can't wait for OSS support

[dnklgr]

Solution for me: Also simply save the file as a HTML beforehand.

[ghost]

@fkumro solution works for me on Solus Linux. The folder created initially was .config/Code - OSS. Simply renaming it to .config/Code solved the problem

[bashfulrobot]

I just ran into this on 2.8.3. Not that I am using this on Ubuntu installed via snap package (vscode).

[Avuxon]

@jing2si
What is that code? How do I use it because it seems to be working for most people.

[yspreen]

Why is this closed? I still have the issue.
Code 1.19.2
Sync 2.8.7

[essenciary]

Same issue on macOS, latest versions of everything.

[michaelradionov]

same problem

[momon]

Installed without issues on windows. Tried to install on Linux Mint just now and have the same error.

[shanalikhan]

I am locking this thread.
Please create new issue anyone gets into problem.
_VSCode Portable isnt support right now. Only Stable,Insiders and OSS version are supported at the moment._
