I get the same error.
I've shared my GIST publicly, and when my colleague downloads it, it looks like the settings and extensions are downloaded correctly, but he gets this same error.

[ikogan]

Getting the same error, based on the part of the code, it looks like an extension in my gist no longer exists, so it's unable to fetch the URL for it to download?

[ingro]

Same error here, anyone find out where the problem lies?

[samuelsuarezsanchez]

From what I can see, this happens when an extension is no longer published in VSCode Market and Settings Sync tries to download it. If that's the case, then Settings Sync cannot work out the extension package URL in order to download it, resulting in the error being thrown.

I guess the extension should display a warning indicating that the extension doesn't seem to be available, instead of hiding the error away in the console, or have a setting to quietly ignore.

In my case, the issue was with the now discontinued Stylus and PHP Code Formatter extensions, which I can live without now that support for both languages is completely built-in latest VS Code versions.

Can you try again and let me know about the console ? what error is it throwing

@ikogan share your gist id

[shanalikhan]

@ikogan can you remove the extension

puppetlinter - Version : 0.1.3
and install from marketplace again and then upload the gist.

I dont find the puppetlinter in the marketplace.

@samuelsuarezsanchez yes that is the issue, i will show a error in the developer log and extension will continue downloading other ones.

[ikogan]

I'm concerned it might not upload a correct gist as it hasn't successfully downloaded all the extensions. I don't have the machine on which the gist was originally generated. Can I just remove it manually from the gist?

[shanalikhan]

yes remove this

[ikogan]

That did the trick, thanks!

[SathyaBhat]

I have a similar problem - this is the gist Can you let me know which extension is causing the problem?

thanks

[SathyaBhat]

nev mind, found the problem. "format-indent" extension is no longer available.

"metadata": {
      "id": "949eb1e5-b41c-413f-99da-6b57cdaed1b4",     
      "publisherId": "d0da30bb-6c9f-4482-8b47-080dc94e6008",

    },      
    "name": "format-indent",        
    "publisher": "Kasik96",     
    "version": "1.3.0"      
  }

[shanalikhan]

Its fixed in latest version.
Extension will show an error upon not found but will continue downloading other extensions.

let me know if there is still a problem.
