Test renaming an extension publisher/name

[sandy081]

Testing #34812

• anyOS - @joaomoreno
• anyOS @jrieken

Complexity: 4

Note: Since renaming an extension needs support from Marketplace team, we will do a local rename here. It means doing following

• Go to installed extensions folder
• Open the package.json of the extension and rename the publisher / name.
• Also change the folder name to match with above rename

You can also follow the above steps to change the version of the extension.

Test cases

An extension installed from Marketplace

1. It should get synced with Marketplace, show latest data and updates if it has.
2. Disable the extension (workspace/global does not matter)
3. Rename the publisher of the extension as mentioned above.
4. Disconnect from Internet to disconnect from Marketplace and Verify that extension is shown with renamed publisher and is disabled
5. Connect to Marketplace and reload VS Code.
6. It should get synced with Marketplace, show latest data and updates if it has.
7. Extension should be disabled.

Recommendations and Dependencies

1. Verify having an old extension name in workspace recommendations or dependencies is treated as unknown extension.

An extension installed as VSIX

1. It does not get synced if there is no mapping extension in Marketplace
2. It should get synced with Marketplace, show latest data and updates if there is a mapping extension in Marketplace.

Enablement / Disablement migration

1. Open VS Code stable version pointing to a known extensions directory. Use --extensions-dir option.
2. Install some extensions and disable some of them. (Global/Workspace does not matter)
3. Open latest insiders on the same extensions directory
4. Make sure extensions are disabled.
