VS Code extension: `command 'missing' not found`

After almost any change is made, during whatever process is re-running the code on the glitch server, the vs code extension gets an error that pops up top of the screen (and annoyingly slides my code down a line, which is jarring to look at): !!Missing: command!! This message is also a link, which when clicked reveals a small popup at the bottom: command 'missing' not found. No other information is available beyond that, as far as I could see in Problems, Output, or any other tabs. Is this a bug somewhere that can be avoided?

I don’t know the exact answer, as this could be caused by many things. But I think it has to do with a extension.

What should you try anyways:

  • Check if Visual Studio Code is up-to-date
  • Hit Ctrl + Shift + x and attach a screenshot of the Enabled extensions list to your thread
  • Google any extension name with the error, maybe it will lead to an answer

Have a great day!

This has come up before and was due to an interaction with another extension. What other ones do you have installed and active on this project?

Just restart Visual Studio

Maybe not in the same context as reported here, but I just saw this today in my requirements-test.txt file that includes another requirements file.
# !!MISSING: command!! was shown
and when clicked command 'missing' not found was reported.
I found out this to be output from PyPI Assistant extension supposed to write the last version above each dependency.
I of course now understands the context, but I think it would be better not to write anyting for this case because the include line (-r requirenement.txt) is not for a dependency.
