If you are looking to get the installed extension path, context api can help here

    export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {    
    const disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand('jenkins-snippet.jenkins-snippet', async () => {
    const extensionPath = context.extensionPath; // extension installed path

I also had this problem in making the extension.

First, in this file, make a command in explorer/context, like the code below:

 "contributes": {
 "commands": [
      {
        "command": "demo.pathFolder",
        "title": "Get Path folder"
      }],
    "menus": {
      "explorer/context": [
        {
          "when": "explorerResourceIsFolder == true",
          "command": "demo.pathFolder"
        }
  ]
 }
}

Then you have to change extension.ts code. Like the example below.

vscode.commands.registerCommand('demo.pathFolder', (p: { fsPath: string }) => {

   // p is an object whose path is fsPath.

   console.log(p.fsPath);

});

Maybe this link can help you.

You get the extension context object from activate method, and then call ExtensionContext.extensioinPath,
