Vscode: Create CLI command to update all extensions

[JBallin]

Something like: $ code --update-extensions.

Should not open VS Code. Should mimic Atom’s $ apm upgrade.

Hi, what's the status here?

[equinox]

This would be really neat to have, as being able to keep all extensions up to date without actually having to go through: start, search for the updates, update then potentially restart in order to ensure when you need to start coding all distractions are already taken care of.

While it seems like it's a minor workflow, for people like me that more often than not get distracted by "Oh.. shiny!", it'd be a lovely quality of life thing to have.

@equinox For your scenario, there is a Extensions: Update All Extensions command that can be used. Would that help?

[equinox]

@ramya-rao-a It's definitely a lovely feature, but sadly that requires having VSCode open. Being able to ensure all extensions are up to date without actually opening the editor would be best, IMO (which would mean I could automate the updating).

[JBallin]

To add some context, I want to use this in a shell script to automate updating my extensions.

Is there a way to run said command (or others) from the command line?

This is slow but solved my problem:

for ext in `code --list-extensions`
  do 
    code --install-extension "$ext" 
  done
