Python extension extra data list full extension identifier

[jrieken]

Testing microsoft/vscode#208468

• from QP select "issue python"
• show additional extension info
• it includes the full identifiers of all installed extensions (that information is something VS Code itself shortens)

cc. @paulacamargo25 on this since she implemented it 👍

just to confirm I understand it correctly, is the suggestion is to change the table in the Python's "Installed Extensions" markdown table under "Include additional extension info" to follow the same format as the VS Code's "include my enabled extensions" table?

VS Code's:

@jrieken @luabud revisiting this after I thought about it for a little bit:

the reason @paulacamargo25 adds the extensions here is because when filing on an extension, the reporter doesn't have a checkbox/option for sending enabled extensions, only when the source is vs code or don't know will enabled extensions be sent.

this could be up to further discussion though (if you're filing on an extension, to that extension's github, do they need to have a default check box for including enabled extensions?)

@justschen For Python extension, and our suite of extensions this information is often useful. There are cases where some combination of 3rd party extensions with python extensions has issues. This is useful to catch those quickly.

Yes. See my previous comment.

Re-open, this isn't about listing extensions but about listing them with the fully qualified identifier. Python should use the same "obfuscation" that vscode uses

@jrieken Ah! I see thanks for clarifying.
