[VS Code, WebIDE]: Update VS Code Extension in WebIDE (blocked)

MR:

• gitlab-lsp MR: fix: LSP build for Web IDE (gitlab-org/editor-extensions/gitlab-lsp!1435 - merged)
• gitlab-vscode-extension MR: fix: Web IDE compatability for latest version (!2435 - merged)
• gitlab-web-ide MR: chore: Update gitlab-vscode-extension to latest... (gitlab-web-ide!434 - merged)

Summary

This issue represents task to update VS Code Extension in Web IDE (which is 4 months out of date). This task is currently blocked by regressions introduced in those 4 months.

The WebIDE uses VS Code Extension version 5.17.0 (released 2024-10-24).

I tried to update the extension today and there are several issues in the latest version:

• Quick Chat showing but not working at all
• Extension "Show Logs" command being registered twice

I don't believe we can release the latest extension in WebIDE until we disable

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-web-ide
2. go to cd gitlab-vscode-extension
3. checkout main git checkout main
4. install dependencies npm i
5. go back to gitlab-web-ide folder cd ..
6. run the local development version of WebIDE yarn run start:example
7. open http://localhost:8000
8. add your personal access token and enable code suggestions

What is the current bug behavior?

• Quick Chat showing but not working at all
• Extension "Show Logs" command being registered twice
