How to handle Command 'extension.commandName' not found error in VSCode

Question

The problem occurs when one of the long running command is forcefully killed by process.kill

After that whenever I try to execute a command it raise Command 'extension.commandName' not found error.

Note: All the commands are properly registered in package.json under contribution>>command. Commands are also included as part of activationEvents. Keybinding also in place for the registered command. I have also checked similar issues like this but that did not cover my scenario.

Answer 1

The way I am handling this right now is by exposing another command that fires workbench.action.reloadWindow. Once the window is reloaded the extension able to handle request again.
