rust-analyzer: VSCode: Cannot destructure property `releaseName` of 'undefined' or 'null'

Yeah, and you need to update the vscode to 1.42 😅 (#3139)

Ah. that version is not in my package manager yet. Manjaro usually runs a week-ish behind Arch.

As of today, 1.42.1 landed in Manjaro. I can confirm the the install works correctly now.

yes, I was refering to the ubuntu directories my actual command is:

rm -fr  ~/.vscode-oss/extensions/matklad.rust-analyzer-0.1.20200211     
ls ~/.config/Code\ -\ OSS/User/globalStorage      
                                                                                                                             
    state.vscdb  state.vscdb.backup

and the global storage had no matklad directory

@Progdrasil, did you install the extension from source previously?

No i did not

when I install the extension the only log i have regarding rust-analyzer

[Extension Host] 
/home/rene/.config/Code - OSS/User/globalStorage/matklad.rust-analyzer/ra_lsp_server-linux --version output: undefined

then when i click Download now button:

For me since I was hacking on rust-analyzer I installed the plugin from source because it was a command away.

A command and a preference change away 😃. Confusion will ensue otherwise.

Interesting, when I uninstall the extensions and search for it, it show the right version (0.1.20200224). However once I install it, it reverts to the version mentioned in the description (0.1.20200211)

yes i just installed it.

When i run the Extensions: Check for extensions update command in vscode it tells me all extensions are up to date
