Subject: Assistance Needed with Power Query SDK Installation in Visual Studio Code (VSCode)

 

Hi,

I am trying to create a Custom Connector in the Power Query Editor and have been working on developing the query in VSCode using the Power Query SDK.

However, I am encountering an issue while attempting to install the Power Query SDK package in VSCode. The error message I am receiving is as follows:

Hi @shakeelahmad ,
Thanks for ZhangKun reply.

You can try to install it manually by entering commands using the terminal console

code --install-extension PowerQuery.vscode-powerquery-sdk

Final output

You can use Ctrl+Shift+X to open the list of extensions to see if they have been installed successfully

Thanks @ZhangKun  for your quick response but , It did not help.
When I tried to install through your suggested path , it trigger VSCode and giving below error message:

If this is the case, there is nothing I can do except reinstalling vscode or copying the plugin folder from the vscode extension directory of another computer where it is installed.
