I do not see the hello world command in command pallete

Question

So the tutorial to developing visual studio code extensions says to hit F5 and then command palette which is where I should see the hello world command given by this default code for extension. This is the repository for the default code generated by following the tutorial. I do not see the command and I require some help as to troubleshoot. Let me know if any additional info is required.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and found that the extensions required VsCode 1.74. Check the Log(Window) in the 'Extension Development Host`.

Answer 2

During development the extension will only live in the "guest" window that appears when you start debugging - this is where you should be looking for the contributed command (or anything else done by the extension).

The extension will appear in your VSCode instance if you install it - either by packaging it and installing it locally or by publishing it to the Extension Marketplace and then installing it from there.

Edit: I pulled your repo and ran the extension. Everything is working as expected. You're probably missing something.
