Just got an update for the Golang extension and it appears to be broken, reporting an error on a package main
that's literally just a list of my imports with no useful information. It's refusing to lint or do anything useful which is annoying.
So I want to quickly jump back to the previous version, how can I do this in VS code? Can't seem to find it in the docs at all.
From v1.30 release notes: install previous versions of extensions.
You can now go back to a previous version of an extension if there are issues with the current version. VS Code provides an Install Another Version action on an installed extension which shows a dropdown of available versions.
The option to install another version is in the context menu.
Currently downgrading is not (yet) supported.
However, you can uninstall the extension and then manually download and install a specific version by hand: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/install-extension
