Dbt extension not visible in marketplace?

How To
1

Hi, more of a workspace/IDE related question: in my attempt to reinstall the official dbt extension for VSCode in Cursor, the extension doesn’t show up in the marketplace anymore. I’ve tried hitting the install button from the visualstudio.com domain, checked @disabled in the search field of the marketplace to no avail. I’m assuming this is me and there’s an override someplace. Does anyone recognize this or can help me troubleshoot this? I’m running Cursor:

Hey, to install this extension in Cursor, it needs to be available on OpenVSX, but it seems it’s not there right now. You can try installing this extension by downloading the VSIX file. To do this, open VSCode, find the extension in the marketplace, click on the gear icon, and select download. Then you can install it in Cursor.

Thanks, confirmed that more folks than just me are facing this issue. Uninstall official dbt extension now and it will not show up in the marketplace. Dbt is investigating.

hi @deanrie!

hi, employee of dbt here.

we have yet to ever publish to openvsix, but we will ASAP.

I’m just curious to know more about root cause. Up until a few days ago, many users were able to our install our extension within Cursor for the past 4 weeks without issue.

  1. was this a recent change?
  2. have you seen other extensions similarly affected?

cheers!

I can’t say for sure if anything has changed in Cursor. I think @ravirahman might know about it.

Hi @dataders – yes, we did change our upstream marketplace last week to OpenVSX. Once it’s submitted to OpenVSX it should show up in Cursor within a day.

@ravirahman thanks so much for getting back to us to quick with substantive information! much appreciated!

Is what I’m seeing on Changlelog for June 12 related?

  • Added option to change upstream marketplace provider

Is this really an option that I can change? That would be a helpful workaround. If not, perhaps the changelog should read

upstream marketplace provider has changed to openvsix

I’m seeing others also experiencing this. some more proactive communication would go a long way!

Added option to change upstream marketplace provider

The upstream switch to OpenVSX affects all versions of the client. Thanks for the feedback; I’ll discuss with the team on how we’ll communicate changes like these going forward.

amazing! I tried to find that setting but couldn’t. I must have been on 1.1.2.

After changing the setting, I’m able to see the extension again!

the link in the settings’ description to VSCodium’s README was very instructive as well.

# settings.json
{
    "extensions.gallery.itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items",
    "extensions.gallery.serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery"
}
