When I was preparing to publish my VS Code extension, vsce encountered a dependency issue.
Like this:
npm ERR! missing: @sindresorhus/is@^1.0.0, required by [email protected]
npm ERR! missing: @szmarczak/http-timer@^4.0.0, required by [email protected]
npm ERR! missing: @types/cacheable-request@^6.0.1, required by [email protected]

...
This is probably because the symlinks of pnpm are not compatible with vsce, if you use yarn for dependency installation you don’t encounter similar problems.
I changed my workflows to solve this problem:
- instead of using
vscefor packaging, usetsup
tsup src/extension.ts --format cjs --external vscode --no-shims
- Use
-no-dependenciesto skip the vsce packaging process when callingvsce, so it doesn’t have to find dependencies
npx @vscode/vsce publish --no-dependencies
