How to prevent the installation of related VSCode extensions?

[gremo]

Hi, first thank you for the best VSCode PHP extension ever made! I'm just interested in the basic PHP features, is there any way to avoid the installation of PHP Profiler and IntelliPHP extensions?

My container right now has just the DEVSENSE.phptools-vscode extension, but the other gets installed automatically.

thank you @gremo !

We intentionally moved those features into separate extensions so you can uninstall them (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-marketplace#_uninstall-an-extension). Once you uninstall them, VSCode won't install them again during the next update.

Thanks @jakubmisek for the quick answer! Sure I can, but being the the extensions of devcontainer.json, they would pop up again as I rebuild, am I right?

@gremo good point! I didn't realize it's a bit more complicated in containers.

I have found the solution in a year-old release note: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/main/remote-release-notes/v1_85.md#opt-out-of-extensions

[gremo]

Never heard of that! That'is the solution 👍 thanks, sorry for bother about this minor issue

It's not working btw, I guess this is a relly old option that doesn't work anymore 😄

"-devsense.intelli-php-vscode"
"-devsense.profiler-php-vscode"

Given that those are the correct extension IDs.

[jakubmisek]

Hmm yes, those IDs are correct. I'll try to find a different solution if it exists ...

[jakubmisek]

is it at least possible to disable those extensions using VSCode configuration?
