Issue searching and installing databricks extension

[weredodude]

I want to install databricks extension. However, the search in extensions doesn’t work:

I tried to download the extension (vscode marketplace doesn’t allow downloads anymore but I got it from their github repo) and drag it to the extensions window - installs successfully. However, I don’t see it in the list of installed extensions.

I also tried from the command line:

cursor --install-extension ~/Downloads/databricks-darwin-arm64-2.8.0.vsix
Installing extensions...
Extension 'databricks-darwin-arm64-2.8.0.vsix' was successfully installed.

I still don’t see it installed. Tried to restart Cursor - no luck.

Hey, that’s strange, it finds it in the extensions, and it even got installed. Is it only this extension that it can’t find for you?

I can’t search any extensions - anything I enter in the search box causes this error.
And for this extension - I manually scroll through installed and I can’t locate the new one. The extensions count stayed the same. I suspect it didn’t really get installed. Not sure how to diagnose it.

So I solved the mistery of not seeing the installed extension - it was disabled as it was dependent on anotherdisabled extension. And I think I had to quit all Cursor windows and restart for it to appear disabled.

Still - can’t search for / filter extensions.

Hey, is your firewall enabled? It might be the reason the marketplace is inaccessible.

[weredodude]

checked. no special firewall rules.

Open the devtools panel, there might be some errors there. Also, try clearing the cache, sometimes it helps.

Ok. Resolved - I finally found a sneaky proxy. How expected! Thanks for bearing with me through this.
