vscode: `--extensions-dir` option to `code` cli ignored in 1.74.0
Type: Bug
Steps to reproduce
- Make sure you have an extension installed in VSCode (any extension)
- Run
mkdir footo make an empty directory - Run
mkdir barto make an empty directory - Run
code --extensions-dir foo barto open directorybarin VSCode using the empty directoryfooas the extensions dir - Run
"Extensions: Show Enabled Extensions"command from the command palette in the newly opened workspace
Expected behaviour
There should be no extensions in the list, because code was called with an empty extensions dir
Actual behaviour
It shows the full list of extensions from the default extension dir. Also, I can confirm that these extensions are actually activated (ie not just displayed in the list)
Notes
- This worked fine in 1.73.1
- Interestingly, running
code --extensions-dir foo --list-extensionslists the correct extensions
