From vscode-dotnettools created by m4ss1m0g: microsoft/vscode-dotnettools#301

Describe the Issue

Using scoop (a package manager) for installing vscode on subsequential update when starting vscode broke the extension. On C# output the message is:

fail: Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.LanguageServer.ExportProviderBuilder[0]
Failed to initialize AssemblyLoadContext Microsoft.VisualStudio.LanguageServices.DevKit
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'c:\Users\user1\scoop\apps\vscode\1.80.1\data\extensions\ms-dotnettools.csdevkit-0.2.100-win32-x64\components\roslyn-visualstudio-languageservices-devkit\node_modules@microsoft\visualstudio-languageservices-devkit'.

This error raises when I update the vscode from 1.80.1 to 1.80.2

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install scoop
2. Install vscode with scoop scoop install vscode
3. Install the C# Dev KIt extension
4. Update vscode with scoop
5. Start vscode
6. On C# output there are the error above

Expected Behavior

When updating vscode the extensions find the new path.

Notes

I found the path on C:\Users\user1\scoop\persist\vscode\data\extensions\ms-dotnettools.csdevkit-0.2.100-win32-x64\cache directory.

Removing the folder and reload the vscode fix the error.

Environment Information

• OS: Windows 11
• VSCode: 1.80.2
• Extension Version:
  • C# Dev Kit v.0.2.100 preview
  • C# v2.0.312 preview

I had the same question, thanks to @arkalyanms's notes, I wrote a pwsh script to clear it manually after vsc upgrade.

rm -Recurse "$HOME\scoop\persist\vscode\data\extensions\ms-dotnettools.csdevkit-*\cache"

Is there a plan to fix this?
