Cannot find module 'vscode' - Missing VSCode engine declaration in package.json-CodePudding

I'm developing a VSCode extension (package.json) and I get the "Error: Cannot find module 'vscode'" whenever I run it.

I've already tried running

npm install

and it did not help. When I run

node ./node_modules/vscode/bin/install

I get "Error installing vscode.d.ts: Missing VSCode engine declaration in package.json.".

CodePudding user response：

Remove the "vscode" dev dependency. No idea what that is for.

CodePudding user response：

Your package.json is out of date, and is still using a deprecated definition. This has been changed, if I remember correctly, a couple of years ago.

You should update your dependency to something like

 "devDependencies": {
    "@types/vscode": "^1.73.0"
    ...
  }

And don't forget to update the engines entry as well, to reflect the minimun VS Code version your extension will support.

    "engines": {
        "vscode": "^1.73.0"
    },

Hope this helps
