SFDX: Create New Project is not prompting for project type to create.

[cmdanner1982]

Summary

Salesforce extensions fail to load/activate when attempting to create SFDX project.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Launch Visual Studio Code (User install) v1.94.2
2. Type >SFDX in search.
3. Select >SFDX:Create Project

Expected result

What should happen is you are met with an option to select Standard Project, Empty Project, or Analytics Project.

Actual result

Instead what happens is you see the 'Activating extensions..." displayed in the bottom-left corner, then it disappears and nothing else happens.

Additional information

Feel free to attach a screenshot.

Salesforce Extension Version in VS Code: 62.0.0

Salesforce CLI Version: 2.61.8

OS and version: Windows 11 22H2

VS Code version: 1.94.2

Most recent version of the extensions where this was working: Never. I work in IT Desktop Support, providing assistance to a contractor hired for Salesforce development work. We issued him an HP laptop to which he does not have local administrator rights to, and can not be given those rights per policy. MS VSC, Salesforce CLI and the Salesforce Extension Pack were installed under admin credentials but did not produce a different result.

@cmdanner1982 Would you mind providing a screenshot of the running extensions after "Activating extensions..." disappears.

Ctrl-Shift-P and type "Developer: Show Running Extensions"

Send the contents of "Developer: Startup Performance" The contents of that editor can be saved with Ctrl-S

Good afternoon, Peter,

I have a support call scheduled with the end user on Monday, 10/21. I’ll gather the requested information during the call and provide feedback afterward.

@cmdanner1982 From what you have shared it shows that all of our extension have started up. What is it that I am missing? What is the expectation after "Activating extensions..." disappears?

[cmdanner1982]

The expectation is to be prompted for the options to select Standard Project, Empty Project, or Analytics Project. Instead, nothing happens and we are unable to create a new SFDX project.

@cmdanner1982 Thank you.

@cmdanner1982 Seeing the same thing. I received a new laptop for work, which required an install of VSC. After the install, I checked the environment variables, and installed the Salesforce Extensions. The same "Activating Extensions" notice you saw was at the bottom of my screen but no prompts occurred to create the project. I've checked my Running Extensions and see my Salesforce CLI Integration is stuck in Activating. I have installed VS Code version 1.94.2 and the old version 1.91.1, which is is up and running normally on my previous laptop. I've also tried to install previous versions of the Extension, but the result was the same.

[DavidWillsADS]

@cmdanner1982 I was able to get the Create Project feature working by installing version 60.0.0 of the Salesforce CLI Integration. I selected that specific version from within the Extension Pack. Hope this helps.

[cmdanner1982]

60.0.0

Thank you for the information! I’ll give that a try with our user during the scheduled support call later today and will provide feedback afterward.

60.0.0

Thank you for the information! I’ll give that a try with our user during the scheduled support call later today and will provide feedback afterward.

Unfortunately, now I'm having issues Authorizing my Sandbox. Keep getting Authorization on Org Failed to run

Downgrading to 60.0.0 did the trick for our user! No issues, so far. Thank You!
