Extension activation error: Cannot get Typescript APIs

See original GitHub issue

I’m setting up Deno for the first time in a new project and the VSCode extension host log shows this error:

[2020-08-30 14:35:30.746] [exthost] [error] Activating extension denoland.vscode-deno failed due to an error:
[2020-08-30 14:35:30.753] [exthost] [error] Error: Cannot get typescript APIs. try restart Visual Studio Code.

I’ve tried the following steps to fix the issue to no avail:

Reinstalled Deno
Reinstalled Typescript
Reinstalled VSCode
Reinstalled VSCode Deno extension

@petekp Can you take a look at your builtin vscode.typescript-language-features is enabled or not? issue4

I’m reading the docs:

Namespace for dealing with installed extensions. Extensions are represented by an extension-interface which enables reflection on them.

And I don’t know what else other than vscode.typescript-language-features been disabled will cause getExtension return undefined
