Problems building extensions in VS Code: "Unable to load schema ..."

[AntonioSousa]

Today, I'm trying to build an extension I had to test. Can't manage to do it through the GUI, as it says:

• Unable to load schema from '/home/administrator/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/dynatraceplatformextensions.dynatrace-extensions/1.285.0/extension.schema.json': No content.

It really depends, I have a lot of different ones, both from old/new schemas:

• Problems loading reference 'http://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/extensions/schemas/1.285.0/log.processing.rule.schema.dql....': Unable to load schema from 'http://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/extensions/schemas/1.285.0/log.processing.rule.schema.dql....': No content.

  Problems loading reference 'http://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/extensions/schemas/1.285.0/log.processing.rule.schema.json': Unable to load schema from 'http://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/extensions/schemas/1.285.0/log.processing.rule.schema.json': No content.

  Problems loading reference 'http://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/extensions/schemas/1.331.0/log.metrics.dql.schema.json': Unable to load schema from 'http://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/extensions/schemas/1.331.0/log.metrics.dql.schema.json': No content.

In the process, I have seen that the schemas are really downloaded with HTTP, but then it redirects:

• GET /api/v2/extensions/schemas/1.285.0/log.processing.rule.schema.dql.json HTTP/1.1
  Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
  Host: abc12345.live.dynatrace.com
  Connection: close
• HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect
  content-length: 0
  location: https://abc12345.live.dynatrace.com/api/v2/extensions/schemas/1.285.0/log.processing.rule.schema.dql...
  cache-control: no-cache
  connection: close

Even creating an extension from scratch yields the same issue. Tried also with two different tenants, same result.

The files in VS Code are OK. I even restarted a VM I'm sure was working about a month ago, and it has the same problem.
Compiled with dt-sdk, they do compile. And they also run locally.

Hi @AntonioSousa ,

this is caused by update of RedHat yaml extension is vscode. I also sumbled upon this on Friday afternoon. Already known issue and reported:  https://github.com/dynatrace-extensions/dynatrace-extensions-vscode/issues/285 . Just downgrade the yaml extension and disable it's autoupdate for a while to get this working again.

@Julius_Loman ,

Thanks so much! I downgraded almost everything, except the yaml extension. Working again!
