CANNOT use API proposal: chatAgents2

[shamas]

Extension sample

chat-agent-sample

VS Code version

1.85.1

What went wrong?

I successfully ran the Hello World extension sample to get the process down. Following the steps of

1. npm i in terminal
2. Open the folder in VSCode
3. open extension.ts - F5 to open debugging vscode extension
4. Also tried adding --enable-proposed-api vscode-samples.chat-agent-sample to the code startup string - no change

Error message on load

Activating extension 'vscode-samples.chat-agent-sample' failed: Extension 'vscode-samples.chat-agent-sample' CANNOT use API proposal: chatAgents2. Its package.json#enabledApiProposals-property declares: but NOT chatAgents2. The missing proposal MUST be added and you must start in extension development mode or use the following command line switch: --enable-proposed-api vscode-samples.chat-agent-sample.

@shamas FYI it worked for me using vscode insiders 1.86.0-insiders. By reading the docs it looks like it is mandatory to use VSCode insiders: one prerequisite is to "Use Insiders release of VS Code."

Yes, please use Insiders
