Vscode-terraform: Can't pin to earlier version of this extension

[bnm22]

I'm running Terraform 0.11.x and I can't pin the extension to an earlier version. The previous versions fail to load.

Maybe we should fork the repo and revert the changes back by creating a new extension.

I believe the upgrade was brutal and has broken a lot.

Workaround for now:

Remove the 2.0 version

Download the .vsix for 1.4.0 here - https://github.com/hashicorp/vscode-terraform/releases/tag/v1.4.0

Install it into vscode manually

code --install-extension mauve.terraform-v1.4.0.vsix

This appears to be an upstream bug in VS Code: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/99699#issuecomment-643379024

Going to merge this in to #385 for tracking.

Hi, thanks for the work-around, I'm also one of those that's affected by this breaking change.

Do you perhaps know how I would install this inside a Remote Container?

[paultyng]

@ciaranevans I have not tried this with a Remote Container, but in WSL the extensions pane shows multiple sections like this (see below) so you can install it in different sides of the runtime, do you get the same in Remote Containers? I'll have to try to spin one up, but haven't had an opportunity yet.
