You can now have an extension inside a workspace under .vscode/extensions folder and install and enable that extension when you open that workspace.

Set up

• Enable extensions.experimental.supportWorkspaceExtensions flag and reload window

Testing

• Open a folder and have an extension under .vscode/extensions folder in the workspace
• Make sure you see that extension in the workspace recommendations view in extensions viewlet (use @recommended filter)
• Make sure you can install that extension and is enabled only in that workspace.
• Make sure you need to trust the workspace to install that extension
• Test uninstalling that extension works as expected.
• You can make changes to the extension and they will be picked up on window reload / restarting extensions
• Test that installing the workspace extension which is not built will not be activated until the extension is built. Extension gets activated automatically when extension is built.
• Test workspace extensions in a Multi-root workspace. Extensions under .vscode/extensions folder of each root should work as above.
• Feel free to do any exploratory testing

Does this feature require the workspace to have been Trusted?

[sandy081]

Good point. Yes. workspace needs to be trusted. I will add that in the testing description.
