The extension is recommended for this file type

[ivankravets]

There is "INO" format which was created for Arduino IDE. There is PlatformIO extension which contributes grammar for this type of file.

Question: Why does VSCode still force me to install "Arduino" extension?

You might know, but Arduino extension conflicts with PlatformIO extension. There are a lot of bugs reports. See https://community.platformio.org/t/conflicting-extensions/6091

What is the best way to resolve this issue?

@kieferrm do you have any updates on this issue. Could you explain to us what should be done on our side to avoid this message?

Thanks!

Any word or updates on this @kieferrm ?

@czgtest, @Sneezry How did you make Arduino extension to be linked with INO/PDE formats? Should we receive some permission from Microsoft?

See related discussion https://community.platformio.org/t/conflicting-extensions/6091

P.S: @dbaeumer, could you recommend someone in VSCode team who can help here? Thanks!

As I know, this feature is controlled by a recommend list which is hosted by VS Code team.

@kieferrm who took over @ramya-rao-a recommendation work ?

Up.

So what's the status of this issue now? It's been four months, and no-one has 'fessed up to why the Microsoft Arduino extension is being recommended when another extension (PlatformIO) is already handling the file type in question (INO)... and I don't think disabling extension recommendations is a suitable 'fix'.
