I have this issue too and it is really frustrating. I had managed to disable it in previous versions by placing the extension name in unwantedRecommendations but after a clean install there is no way to fix it.

As for the notification, you should be able to disable it by clicking on the dropdown arrow to the right and selecting the appropriate menu action, haven't seen it before though.

This is false!

WORKAROUND: Erase all extensions from recommendations in .vscode/extensions.json:

Then make the file read-only. It seems to work.

Hi,

Could you try using VSCode marketplace by following the steps mentioned here ?

@daiyam: Could you add a setting to never show this again like you did for the eol-banner?

Note: for me this is not an issue - I do have setup several extensions to be recommended that cannot be found in the marketplace - on each start of vscodium (commonly once per day) I get a very small notification about that - which does remind me to check for these extensions' updates manually in their repos (or use gitpod to build them on my own); but if people would not like to be reminded it may be nice to have a "don't remind me" option.

The option in both places could be sent upstream, too.

Note @Crystal-RainSlide: your point "a project's extension recommendation" [would also apply to .code-workspace btw] is relevant but actually another one as the original; which was "copy the vscode settings into vscodium when starting using that - and see a lot of warnings each time".

There could be extensions only on Open-VSX but not Microsoft's marketplace. It will be viable for a ignore / "don't remind me" patch be sent upstream.


Note to project owners:

.vscode/extensions.json is actually kinda annoying, even without this "extension not found" issue - it just ask everyone who did not install EVERY extension it recommends to do so - everytime they open your project fresh, or forget to click the "Don't show" button.

Try leave only the strict necessary extensions in .vscode/extensions.json. Put others to somewhere else like the README.

Needs to be rechecked, if this still happens then we should try to add the "ignore" button.

So I've understood that @daiyam, who self-assigned this issue, wanted to add this setting. Right?
