command 'extension.deploy' not found

[nopower0]

When deploying to a sftp target, "command 'extension.deploy' not found" message is shown. And I cannot find the Quick Deploy button even if I have "button" section configured.

Same problem happened to me.

[hkm-mo]

So me too

[mkloubert]

What versions of VSCode and the extenstion do you use?

[mkloubert]

Have you tried to reinstall the extension?

[hkm-mo]

I have reinstalled the extension. But the issue still exist.
My installed version is VSCode 1.8.1(OSX) + Deploy 5.3.1

[mkloubert]

I currently have no problems (VSCode 1.8.1, Windows, Deploy 5.3.1).

Have you checked the debug console (CTRL + SHIFT + Y)?

Has pop uped an error message at the top of VSCode?

[Edd-Gao]

I have Vscode 1.8.1 windows 10 deploy 5.3.1.
It pops up saying "command extension.deploy not found".

[qrti]

same problem here, command extension.deploy not found,
win10, vscode 1.8.1, deploy 5.3.1

[lvbeck]

same problem, auto deployment on file save stop working after update to 5.3.1,
when use CTRL + ALT + F, show error: command extension.deploy not found
win10, vscode 1.8.1, deploy 5.3.1

I FOUND THE BUG!

Currently there are missing dependencies for mysql and mssql modules.

AS FAST WORKARROUND: Edit the package.json file in your extension directory (%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\mkloubert.vs-deploy-5.3.1), go to the bottom and add these 2 references to dependencies:

{    
    // ...
    
	"dependencies": {
		"aws-sdk": "^2.7.19",
		"azure-storage": "^1.4.0",
		"fs-extra": "^1.0.0",
		"ftp": "^0.3.10",
		"glob": "^7.1.1",
		"i18next": "^4.1.4",
		"mime": "^1.3.4",
		"moment": "^2.17.1",
        
        "mysql": "^2.12.0",
        "mssql": "^3.3.0",
        
		"node-uuid": "^1.4.7",
		"node-zip": "^1.1.1",
		"nodemailer": "^2.7.0",
		"ssh2-sftp-client": "^1.0.5"
	},
    
    // ...
}

After that: Open the terminal / command line, go to the extension directory and run

npm install

to install the missing modules. Then start VSCode again.

As I said, I will fix this in about 8 hours.

thanks @mkloubert , but the fast workaround still not work for me, the pop up error message disappeared.

[mkloubert]

[EDIT] OK, the bug should be fixed since version 5.4.0.

Do the following steps:

• uninstall the extension (CTRL + SHIFT + X, Deploy)
• close VSCode
• keep sure to have no existing extension directories (%USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\mkloubert.vs-deploy-*)
• start VSCode
• install the extension (CTRL + SHIFT + X and search for vs-deploy)

Please let me know if anything now works.

[nopower0]

Thank you so much! I've tried with your latest steps and it works!

[lvbeck]

@mkloubert 5.4.1 update still break.

I did exactly as you said, uninstall, close, check legacy folder, restart VS and reinstall extension but didn't help...

no auto deployment as well as CTRL + ALT + F command. and nothing is there in the debug console.

[lvbeck]

I used to deploy my files to a SFTP server, this works perfectly in version 4.x , after I update to 5.x, everthing stop working.

I notice a change related to SFTP in version 4.21.0, maybe the bug is introduced from this release?

[mkloubert]

@lvbeck When I am testing, it works and I can deploy via SFTP.

Can you post an example of your settings.json here?

[lvbeck]

@mkloubert here is my settings.json:

{
    "deploy": {
        "packages": [
            {
                "name": "My App 1.0.0",
                "description": "My App 1.0.0",
                "files": [
                    "**/*.php",
                    "**/*.js",
                    "**/*.css",
                    "**/*.html",
                    "/*.json"
                ],
                "exclude": [
                    "tests/**"
                ],
                "deployOnSave": true
            }
        ],       
        "showPopupOnSuccess": true,
        "targets": [
            {
                "type": "sftp",
                "name": "My App folder",

            }
        ]
    },

    "editor.fontSize": 12
}

@mkloubert now it works under certain circumstances, after I disabled all other vscode extensions except deploy and restart vscode, is it possible that some extension conflicts with deploy?

[mkloubert]

@lvbeck No, the extension has no dependencies to other extensions.
