Cannot install extensions

Bug Report
1

Extension| Cursor - The AI-first Code Editor has not worked for me for a week at least. When I drag the .vsix file to the Extension pane, nothing happens. Example extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=lehoanganh298.json-lines-viewer

Installing extensions the way you’d do this in VS Code never worked, in the sense that I’ve never been able to find the extensions I want in the Extension pane. The .vsix way did work at some point this year.

Version: 0.32.2

The .vsix method worked when I tried today. I don’t know what changed. I did click on “Update Cursor” beforehand, and now it no longer nags me for an update, but the version and the hash seem to be the same as in my original post.

Make sure the engine is correct in your package.json file. The default engine created by yo code may be later than the one that cursor uses.

As of today, the version below is supported by cursor, and so packages generated with vsce package will install via drag and drop.

"engines": {
    "vscode": "^1.89.0"
  },

I have an extension with

    "engines": {
        "vscode": "^1.43.0"
    },

so I would expect this to work with drag&drop? But it doesn’t work.

All in all cursor is really nice, but the extension situation is really bad. I cannot find any extensions in Cursor and I cannot install any extensions from MS via Drag&Drop.
