Duplicate of #829

[glossnyx]

Resolved in #829, you can look there for the solution.

@S1AnGeR you might have entered an invalid gist id. Make sure it's correct and try again.

[devellopah]

upon fresh vscode installation, install extension, click on extension gear, choose _configure extension settings_ , feed id of valid gist to _gist id field_
and then _shift + ctrl + p_, _Sync: Download Settings_

This issue still exists. Neither of the provided solutions works for me. This extensions is simply broken.

[benoitMariaux]

Yes, same for me @objectbakery

Guys check out the troubleshooting and see how the the different issues on how users were able to fix the thing.

You need to configure it correctly, documentation says it all.
But still you can perform different steps written over there to see how other people have fixed it.

I am always looking to improve the wiki and readme and help user configuring the Settings Sync.

I ran into this error as well. I thought I got the correct Gist ID. Turned out I took the ID from where I created the token, and not from the Gist itself.

Hey guys,
Managed to get it working again, just had to update the Gist ID and vooola.. it worked!

When you download the settings, check output tab. In my case, it gave error and paused trying to download imagepreview & filewatcher extension.

I manually deleted them (the following lines) from the gist and the download completed.

```
{
"metadata": {
"id": "9240cee3-8289-4b9d-886e-531440411918",
"publisherId": "buzzfrog.imagepreview",
"publisherDisplayName": "buzzfrog"
},
"name": "imagepreview",
"publisher": "buzzfrog",
"version": "0.5.1"
}

{
"metadata": {
"id": "12e95fdd-b0d5-4978-8174-122b925efaf9",
"publisherId": "AppulateInc.filewatcher",
"publisherDisplayName": "AppulateInc"
},
"name": "filewatcher",
"publisher": "AppulateInc",
"version": "1.0.3"
}
```
I know this is weird but it is what it is. I think someone from the dev-team (probably @shanalikhan) should look into it.

For my case, I have to install "Visua Studio Code", because I had the open source version.
And when It was trying to fetch and install extensions these weren't available from Open Source Extensions...

After that, I don't face this problem anymore.

I think you have to set up VSCodium to work with extensions:

Sync error happening as the C Sharp extension names has change in my case:
Error: Error: Error: Extension 'ms-vscode.csharp' not found. at c:Usersusername.vscodeextensionsshan.code-settings-sync-3.4.3outextension.js:290:22293

Info here about the extension name change:

Not sure how to "get out" of this loop

This helped me out in Linux.

I face the same problem, sync block by installing a "extension", and I solved this issue by delete bad "extension" via github.
follow this workflow:
github-> Your gists -> select gist I use to sync vscode -> Edit gist -> delete bad "extension" -> upload. done.
return to vscode download my setting.

install manual extension broken, if you installed using code sync stuck
