Load the workspace's current state when opening a VS Code extension

Recently, I've been developing a VS Code extension that creates a button in the status bar to execute a script in the terminal. The state of these buttons and custom user commands is saved in context.workspaceState.

However, I've encountered an issue where the buttons only load when I trigger the command from the command palette, not during the initial load.

For example, when I open a project where I previously added a button, the status bar does not display the button. Only after I execute the "add button" command from the palette and close it, do the buttons appear in the status bar.

Does anyone know why this behavior is occurring?

Answer №1

Based on the information in your package.json:

  "activationEvents": [
    "onCommand:extension.addButton",
    "onCommand:extension.deleteButton"
  ],

It seems that your extension will only activate when either of those commands are triggered.

Consider using the following instead:

 "activationEvents": [
  "onStartupFinished"
 ],

By doing this, your extension will be activated once Visual Studio Code's startup process is completed. You may also explore other activationEvents options in intellisense that could activate your extension earlier.
