I had platformio, c++ helpers and other stuff. In new IDE it is empty.
Same issue - when you look into the logs youâll likely see 429 errors - those seem to be coming from the âOpen VSXâ marketplace which is now the default for Antigravity IDE extensions. After many retries I could install a few extensions. On the main page of open-vsx they currently have a banner up that says âOpen VSX is growing! To support reliable access as usage increases, weâve implemented rate limiting tiers that govern usage.â.
The homepage keeps loading and isnât displaying any icons, so I think itâs overloaded â or at least thatâs the impression I get.
Steps:
-
In the Marketplace Item URL field, enter:
marketplace.visualstudio -
In the Marketplace Gallery URL field, enter:
marketplace.visualstudio
Restart the IDE â the changes will not take effect without a restart. -
After restarting, you will be able to install extensions directly from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Do you want to restore your old extensions, or are you having trouble finding new ones? Try restarting the IDE and typing something into the search bar.
If you want to restore your old extensions, try the following:
-
Press Windows Key + R, type
%userprofile%, and press Enter (this opens your main user directory, e.g.,C:\Users\YourName). -
Look for a folder named
.antigravity(note the dot at the beginning). -
Open it and copy everything inside (usually a folder named
extensions). -
Go back to your user directory, open the new
.antigravity-idefolder, and paste the contents there.
Tip: Make sure to close the Antigravity IDE completely before copying these files so the new settings load correctly when you reopen it.
Iâm doing this â actually, I could have done it earlier, as this solution has already been mentioned in another thread â but the question is: why was this done? This method of updating is a relic from the days of Windows 95, where you could simply install one version over another, and thatâs exactly whatâs happened here. And whatâs more, if it were free, that would be one thing, but 99% of Antigravity users have a subscription and pay them money, and yet they do something like this.
The following URLs worked for me (donât forget to restart Antigravity):
Marketplace Item URL: marketplace .visualstudio.com/items
Marketplace Gallery URL: marketplace .visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery](marketplace .visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery)
There is also an Antigravity folder in Roaming, the contents of which should also be copied to the IDE folder.
Neither the Microsoft ones nor the OpenVSX ones are working. Thanks to @Ivan31 tip, I managed to restore the installed plugins, but the uninstalled items in the extensions still arenât updating.
Iâll go one step further. If I mess up the links and just pick something at random, nothing appears in the âRecommendedâ section, but if I clear the entriesâso theyâre back to defaultâtwo or three random tracks appear in the âRecommendedâ section. However, you canât search for anything because it doesnât find a thing.
