I have been using Code-OSS in manjaro linux for some months now and this is the first time I am encountering this. (After I reinstalled manjaro) When I search for e.g, Java Extension Pack or Intellisense I don't get any result in the extension marketplace. I don't know if it's the problem of my setup or everyone is experiencing this. If you know of a solution please tell me.

Thanks in advance

    Does this answer your question? ["No extensions found" when running Visual Studio Code from source](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37143536/no-extensions-found-when-running-visual-studio-code-from-source) – Vikrant Chaudhary May 17 '21 at 16:02

This can be fixed by adding following to product.json:

"extensionsGallery": {
    "serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery",
    "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
    "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"
}

This can also be fixed by copying product.json from an official build (in the .zip archvie, product.json is under /usr/share/code/resources/app/product.json which contains above lines). Depending on your distribution, exact location may vary.

  • in addition, your question is possible duplicate of [No extensions found when running Visual Studio Code from source](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37143536/no-extensions-found-when-running-visual-studio-code-from-source) couldnt comment due to insufficent rep. – Clay Oct 26 '20 at 13:01

    This solution worked for me instead. The file was originally pointing to other urls. – Luca Carlon Nov 21 '20 at 14:45

    I have to do this every time after code - OSS updates, so I created a [small python script](https://github.com/iFreilicht/.dotfiles/blob/master/.dotfiles/vscode_non_free_vsx_gallery.py) that automates this. – iFreilicht Mar 29 '21 at 13:02

    Also try looking at `/usr/lib/code/product.json`. – flaviut Nov 14 '21 at 01:15
  • I am having this problem with the Flatpak `com.visualstudio.code-oss` install. The `product.json` file looks to be inside the container. Isn't that "immutable"? For those looking the command is: `$ flatpak run --command=sh com.visualstudio.code-oss`. Which gives you visibility for the '/app/` containt mount point for: `/run/user/1000/app/com.visualstudio.code-oss`. – will Feb 10 '22 at 12:47
  • Thank you for this! Have not even considered trying to address this for years until I saw your answer today. – Koleok Feb 23 '22 at 14:19

As an alternative to manually editing product.json or building whole visual-studio-code-bin from AUR you can use different AUR package - code-marketplace - that patches product.json from Code OSS package (code)

Thank you @Clay for responding. I saw that post prior to me posting this question. Those bits of json code were already in my product.json file but still I was not able to get the extensions. Then I built the VISUAL STUDIO CODE (visual-studio-code-bin) from AUR and now its working normally as expected. I don't know what's the reason behind this,but that's how I fixed it.

Also if someone is reading this and wanna know about the different variants of VSCode then here is the archWiki page for VSCode.

  • Did you figure out why this happened? I have the same issue. And I'd like to stay out of AUR if possible. – Abraham Francis Nov 12 '20 at 11:25
  • @AbrahamFrancis no I didn't look into it. Why do you want want to stay out of AUR? I am new, so i am just curious. – EX1T_ZER0 Nov 13 '20 at 14:13
  • Ah nothing. Its just a preference. I figured out Clay's answer did not work for me. I use Arch Linux and in my system, the file to be changed exists somewhere inside `/usr/lib` – Abraham Francis Nov 14 '20 at 01:52

For anyone using the lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server docker container like me, the .json is located at /app/code-server/lib/vscode/product.json.

I've encountered this using OSS Code on Manjaro as well, trying to install the Azure Resource Manager Tools extension. Not sure if this was an option when this question was posted, but you can download the extension (.vsix) file if possible, then bring up 'quick open' in OSS Code using Ctrl+Shift+P, search for "VSIX" and choose "Extensions: install from VSIX" to locate and install the downloaded .vsix file. After this, the extension was installed and usable in OSS Code, and is also configurable in the extension manager panel.
