Known issue: "Failed to update and install extension" after upgrading to VS Code 1.111.0

Mia Klein Huge

Issue description:
With the roll out of VS Code 1.111.0, the behavior for automatically installing the latest version of the BaaS extension has changed, and the installation will fail. After the Infor standard monthly maintenance, this change will affect users with the setting baas.userInteraction.autoUpdateCheck enabled (recommended).
Symptoms:

Terminal view:
Executing task: code '--install-extension' 'baasExtUpdate.vsix'

The terminal process failed to launch: Cannot launch a terminal process in an empty workspace with cwd C:\Temp\baasExtensionUpdate_2026.<month>.<build> different from userHome

VS Code notification:
The notification "Failed to update and install extension" is displayed.

Workaround:
Install the latest version of the BaaS extension manually:

1. In Infor OS Portal >API Gateway, select Backend as a service > Downloads.
2. Under Download the BaaS Visual Studio Code plugin, and start developing today, click Download. The latest SDK version is downloaded to the default download location on your computer.
3. In VS Code, open Extensions in the Activity bar (CTRL+SHIFT+X)
4. In the title bar click ... (Views and more actions).
5. Select "Install from VSIX" and select the downloaded VSIX file.

A fix will be provided in a later release of BaaS.
