Use a specific version of an extension

In my case for a bug I want to use rust-analyzer 0.2.694 (the current is 0.2.702 but it gives me some trouble) by matkland

• Uninstall the extension from Visual Studio Code
• Reload vsc
• Download the extension from the vsc repo: https://${publisher}.gallery.vsassets.io/_apis/public/gallery/publisher/${publisher}/extension/${extension_name}/${version}/assetbyname/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.VSIXPackage replace ${publisher}, ${extension_name}, ${version} in my case: https://matklad.gallery.vsassets.io/_apis/public/gallery/publisher/matklad/extension/rust-analyzer/0.2.694/assetbyname/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.VSIXPackage
  • Rename the downloaded file with extension .vsix
  • To prevent auto-update we can disable the auto update for all the installed extension:
  • in the vsc Settings: "extensions.autoUpdate": false or we can modify the downloaded extension to make it look like the newest version:
• Open the extension file as as an archive
• Open the file extension/package.json in a text editor
• Replace the version with the current or a future one version
  in my case I've modified "0.2.694" into "0.2.702" so the version will update when a new (and hopefully bug fixed) version will be available
• On vsc open the Command Palette Ctrl + Shift + P -> search for vsix -> Install from vsix file
• Reload vsc
