Time:11-22

So i have fresh Manjaro installation and only software i have is ws code and some bloatware.

But when i want to search for extesions like C/C it find somethink but not what i need.

This is what i get

what i want

I find something like product.json but i cannot find its location or anything. I tried reinstalling... nothing.

Also I can't find it as .vsix file so i don't know what to do.

Search for solution on internet.

Kamen's answer explains it pretty well. However, there is a workaround. You can go to the browser marketplace and search for the C/C Extension Pack. On the right, under "Resources", there is a "Download Extension" link. It will download a vsix file which you can install in Code by searching for Extensions: Install from VSIX... in the command palette (ctrl shift p).

CodePudding user response:

What you're using is Code - OSS and not VSCode; they're built from almost the same source except for the telemetry and the part that handles the marketplace (the latter being a proprietary component by Microsoft). As far as I know it's not possible to have VSCode's Marketplace working for another editor. Code - OSS relies on Open VSX Registry.
