Make sure that you have an "@types/vscode" entry within the devDependencies in the package.json file of your extension, e.g.:

"devDependencies": {
        ...
        "@types/vscode": "^1.43.2",
        ...
}

If you get this error when trying to create a webview for a vsCode extension, check that you are doing it under the client folder and no the server folder

The solution

Run npm install to fix the issue.

Why?

Because there is "post install" script (node ./node_modules/vscode/bin/install) which fetch a vscode.d.ts according to the engine you're using in your project.

Detected VS Code engine version: ^1.6.0 Found minimal version that qualifies engine range: 1.6.0 Fetching vscode.d.ts from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/vscode/e52fb0bc87e6f5c8f144e172639891d8d8c9aa55/src/vs/vscode.d.ts vscode.d.ts successfully installed!

In my case, the reason is: can't load a module with a long path on Windows. Relate issue link: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/1990

So, after I upgrade nodejs v14.x to v15.x, the issue was gone.

Update your Package.json "scripts" section to be:

"compile": "tsc -watch -p ./",

The solution is a link pointing to vscode.d.ts from node_modules directory.

ln -s /home/work/mymodule/node_modules/vscode.d.ts /usr/share/code/resources/app/out/vs/vscode.d.ts
