it may be that this can be resolved by doing a restart. but i currently dont have the time to do that and dont know if this error might return

hi @rickbestgamer , can you let me know the extension version

And also share me the error.log? thanks

[rickbestgamer]

and the error.log file:

it does fix itself sometimes. at the end of yesterday it worked again.
this morning just after i launched my laptop it gave the same error, but after opening the command pallet again seconds after it did load all my solutions without the error. and i have not seen it since then

hopefully this helps (but i dont think so given that i have the latest version and the logs are almost a month old)

[tanchekwei]

yeah, based on the error and log file, I can’t figure out what the issue is

It might not related to the extension.

[rickbestgamer]

no problem, thank you at least for taking your time.

i believe so to then. maybe an issue from command palette itself?
should i open an issue on their github page then?
