Visual Studio perpetually reinstalls Cloud SDK

Question

I have Visual Studio installed on Manjaro. After the last system update, Visual Studio stopped working with the Cloud Code extension. It perpetually installs and uninstalls the extension and throws the next error message:

Cloud SDK was installed but was found to be invalid or corrupted so it was removed. Attempting to reinstall. Managed dependencies will be unavailable during this process. (install attempt 1)

I tried to reinstall the SDK, the extension, and the Visual Studio. Nothing changes at all.

Answer 1

It also happened to me and would take lots of resources to start each vscode window. My best solution was to use locally installed dependencies by setting the cloudcode.autoDependencies to off. It's worked like a charm since then.
