Description

We should figure out why the Web IDE won't install extensions that seem to be available (like ms-python.python).

  • This is probably something to do with "composite extensions" (not the right term but it's a pack of extensions)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Investigation complete and implementation plan for resolving this issue is made.
  • Is this the same issue as gitlab#463876
