VS Code extension publishing not working, Marketplace errors - unable to publish

Posted by Tough_Pride4428@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 2 comments

Hi,

I'm trying to publish a VS Code extension and have encountered some issues. At this point, it seems the problem isn't on my end; rather, it's Microsoft's system, their server is rejecting my request somehow.

In the VS Code terminal:

• I've created a publisher (`Name`)
• I've generated a personal access token
• I've logged in via `vsce login`
• The extension package is valid (`package.json` appears correct, the version is set, etc.)

When I run the command:

vsce publish

I keep getting the message:

ERROR TF400898: An internal error has occurred.

I've tried:

• Multiple retries (including waiting \~20–30 minutes)
• Updating the version (`0.0.1` → `0.0.2`)
• Clearing `\~/.vsce`
• Publishing from GitHub Codespaces

On the VS Code Marketplace:

I uploaded the extension and when trying to publish, I keep getting the message:

Upload Error

TF400898: An Internal Error Occurred. Activity Id: 179323f7-b73e-4581-83ee-0e9c80dedd64.

Has anyone encountered this recently?

Are these known Marketplace issues?

Is there a reliable workaround?

I can't post at all right now and don't know of any other solution, so any information would be very helpful.
