Could not load vsce-sign module Cannot find module '@vscode/vsce-sign'

[ghthor]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: n/a

• VS Code Version: 1.87.1
• OS Version: NixOS Unstable

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run openvscode-server
2. Install an extension
3. See Logs about Extension verification failed
4. Extension is never activated, Runtime Status always shows 'not yet activated'

I realize this could be a result of the nixpkgs build and not an upstream thing, but posting here just in case.

I confirmed that extensions are getting installed AND activated on v1.84.0 and there are not logs about failures to load the vsce-sign module

In version v1.85.1 I don't see any of the error logs when installing extensions, but still none of the extensions ever activate

@jeanp413 did ms change something recently in forcing signature verification for extensions?

[ghthor]

This turned out to be a red herring. The extensions were not loading because I needed to clear my browser cache, the existing cached files were causing issues.
