v2.0.11 Is missing from VS marketplace

[yoavbls]

Hello dear @johnsoncodehk and team!

This is the last available version in my VSCode:

Even though I see 2.0.11 on their website, Reloads/restarts didn't help.
I'm not sure why that is, but my guess is that Microsoft distributes every release to buckets/CDNs in different regions, and in mine, the previous version arrived before the last one because they released in 6 seconds between each other.

Maybe releasing another one will solve it 🤷🏼‍♀️

It might be related to me republishing the extension through vsce unpublish. I just redo it, now with a 5-minute gap between each version, let's see if it resolves the issue.

@isidorn It seems that republishing has broken the VSCode Marketplace. Now, when searching for Vue.volar, two identical extensions appear, but with versions 2.0.10 and 2.0.11 respectively. (I didn't encounter this issue when testing vscode unpublish with another extension earlier.)

I can reproduce this issue.
This seems to have uncovered a bug in the marketplace. Thanks for letting us know.

@seaniyer can you look into this please?

@johnsoncodehk
I'm trying to understand the steps for repro. How was vsce unpublish used in this case? I'd expect vsce unpublish to delete the entire extension and associated stats from the Marketplace. So probably shouldn't use that in this situation.

@seaniyer I executed vsce unpublish Vue.volar and then executed vsce publish for 4 versions: 1.8.27, 2.0.6, 2.0.10, 2.0.11 (#4148). I indeed want to completely remove the old data and publish a new extension.

Hello! 👋

Which one to keep? 2.0.10 with 7,291,213
downloads, or 2.0.12 with 52,558 downloads?

[johnsoncodehk]

@angelhdzmultimedia Please use the 2.0.12 one, the 2.0.10(with 7,291,213 downloads) one should be removed. (Need @seaniyer helps.)

Hi @yoavbls

Thanks for reporting the issue, we are following up to determine how best to address it.

 -VS Marketplace Team

@madhurivadaligithub Since the VS Marketplace team is also here, I would like to request the addition of a setting to disable extension ratings. One of reason I removed the ~7m downloads extension because we recently received a large number of offensive reviews, but half of the reasons may not be on our side, such as:

• Node.js bugs in the VSCode bundle.
• Performance regression in Unocss extension in .vue files.
• After Vue extension v2, Vue TS support is integrated with TS LS plugin and tsserver, and some errors actually come from tsserver itself.

Most users will not understand these reasons and will simply blame the Vue extension because the issues occur in .vue files. The rating feature is of no help in improving the extension; it is just a means of punishing the extension author, this is particularly problematic for an extension that is 100k downloads per week. This has caused me psychological problems and greatly reduced my motivation to continue maintaining it, which is unfair to authors providing free tools. If it is not possible to disable ratings, I will need to regularly republish the extension to clear the reviews and alleviate the psychological problems caused by continued maintenance.

Thank you for your consideration. 🙏

Being able to reset the reviews after a new update release could be a transparent middle ground.
(e.g. the App Store handles it this way https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/monitor-ratings-and-reviews/reset-an-app-summary-rating/)

The Vue extension totally deserves a 5⭐️ rating 💚
