Errors when/after installing extension: 'Couldn't find message for key'

[igorakkerman]

How are you using the lua-language-server?

Visual Studio Code Extension (sumneko.lua)

Which OS are you using?

Windows

What is the issue affecting?

Other

Expected Behaviour

I install extensions using the command line:

code --install-extension "sumneko.lua" --force

I'd expect the output to contain only the message:

Extension 'sumneko.lua' v3.6.7 was successfully installed.

Actual Behaviour

The output contains a number of error messages. The error messages appear not only when installing sumneko.lua, but whenever I subsequently install any other extension using the command line.

The output is as follows:

> code --install-extension "sumneko.lua" --force

This doesn't appear to be fully fixed. I have the lua extension disabled globally (and only enabled in specific lua workspaces) because it adds over a second to my VS Code startup time. Even with the extension enabled, I still get output like this when I run e.g. code --list-extensions:

[lua]: Couldn't find message for key config.diagnostics.circle-doc-class.
[lua]: Couldn't find message for key config.diagnostics.circle-doc-class.

Happy to help debug if you'd like! Not 100% sure where to start.

Also, even after uninstalling the extension, those messages still appears with e.g. code --list-extension until the extension folder is actually deleted.

[davidjdixon]

I can also confirm that this behaviour continues after uninstalling and reinstalling the latest extension version via the cli.

[Reissner]

For me even worse: uninstalling does not change this.

[Diogo-Rossi]

I can confirm. Running the follow command

code --list-extensions --show-versions

Raises the same messages

I wrote a hotfix to patch my local extension install to fix the issue. More details in this comment.

Yes, this problem still exist.
