Cannot revert to older version if newest one crashes #3632

Description

@Cannedfood

Type: General

Describe the bug

  • OS and Version: N/A - Platform independent
  • VS Code Version: 1.33.1
  • C/C++ Extension Version: <= 0.23.0
  • Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them):
  • A clear and concise description of what the bug is:

The extension updates itself to the newest release, ignoring vscode's settings regarding updates.
That way, if the newest version crashes for you, all you can do is wait for it to get fixed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to settings
  2. Disable automatic extension updates (Features > Extension Viewlet > Auto Update)
  3. Downgrade the extension ([The cog next to the extension] > Install another version)
  4. Restart vscode
  5. See the extension upgrade to the newest version anyways

Expected behavior
The extension should rely on vscode's update mechanisms.
OR
Allow you to lag at least one version behind somehow, so you're not blocked until an issue is fixed.
