I can't find the nightly version in the extension view

[Aster89]

The following is from the read me

1. Open the extensions view (ctrl+shift+x) and search for @builtin @id:ms-vscode.js-debug
2. Right click on the JavaScript Debugger extension and Disable it.
3. Search for @id:ms-vscode.js-debug-nightly in the extensions view.
4. Install that extension.

however at step 3 I don't find anything (the result shows No extensions found).

What am I missing?

Hm, can you take a screenshot of your window when you're in the step 3 state?

Sometimes it shows No extensions found. I can't reproduce it now. However, this is what is happening right now:

Trying to search for @builtin @id:ms-vscode.js-debug-nightly will not work, since it's not a built-in extension. You need to search only for @id:ms-vscode.js-debug-nightly.

The result is the one I mentioned in the first post:

Also, to confirm, are you using VS Code proper or something like VS Codium?

[Aster89]

@connor4312, I think it's VSCode proper. I've installed it via sudo pacman -S code on ArchLinux, and the Help > About shows I'm on the commit 129500e.

Yea, that appears to be a VS Codium build, and therefore does not use the same extension marketplace. You can download the nightly build from the right hand side of https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.js-debug-nightly and the use the "Install from VSIX" command to manually install it.
