VSCode latex-workshop command not found

I just cannot find any actions to work of the latex-workshop extension in VS Code, though it worked well yesterday.

When I tried to find the actions (using Ctrl+Shift+P), it shows a choice of LaTex Workshop: All Actions. However, after click on it, an error occurs as command 'latex-workshop.actions' not found, and nothing happens. And I can't use any command by shortcut keys.

I tried to reload and reinstall the extension, but they don't help.

Does anyone know what's happening here?

I had the same problem, and followed some suggestion in this GitHub issue. Simply reinstalling the plugin won't work, but I fixed like this:

  1. Uninstall extension
  2. Close VS Code (Make sure all processes are shut down, maybe restart your machine)
  3. Open Code and reinstall the extension

For me, what solved the problem (August 2021) was to revert to an earlier version - the problem was in 8.20.2, I reverted to 8.19.2. Just click on the extension to show its menu screen and hit the drop-down arrow of the "Uninstall" button.

I solved the issue by uninstalling the extension and deleting the folder

/.vscode-oss/extensions/james-yu.latex-workshop-8.14.0/
