Error: The language client requires VS Code version ^1.26 but recevied version 1.25.1

I googled it found a page which said to change package.json file to older version, but I cant find that file, I am using a macos.

Your problem is incompatible versions. The PowerShell extension is using a later feature in vscode that is not available in the version you have installed.

You can:

1. Upgrade vscode (if auto-update is failing, you can download the installer and re-run it)

   • Turn off auto-update on your extensions by adding the following to settings.json:
     "extensions.autoUpdate": false,
