Ionide extension stuck loading...

[LysetsDal]

Type: Bug

When i try opening a workspace with the extension enabled, i get this alert:
Command fsharp.explorer.renameFile already registered by Ionide for F# (Ionide.ionide-fsharp)
in the show running extensions.
Have tried enabling globally and reinstalling but it didn't help.

I'm experiencing same starting today 😕

[gfritz]

Installing version 7.15.2 restored functionality for me - the extension automatically loads, detects F# files, intellisense looks normal. I couldn't locate any logs, extension host logs, vscode developer tools logs, or anything to hint why 7.16.* version did not work for me.

---

I had the same issue and same message as reported. I started on version 7.16.1, changed to 7.16.0, and then on 7.15.2 the extension loaded and detected F# files without any prompting.

All 3 versions I tried had the same message: Command fsharp.explorer.renameFile already registered by Ionide for F# (Ionide.ionide-fsharp).
