VSCode extension works in development but fails when installed

I created an extension for adding test files in Ruby on Rails - https://github.com/SimonBo/rails-go-to-test. It works when I test it locally (press F5 from VSCode with the extension code open) but when I package the extension and install it i get => "command 'extension.goToTest' not found". The problem is probably with runtime dependencies but not sure how to fix this.

It might be that the version of VSCode you have on your computer is older than the version specified in your package.json.

    "engines": {
        "vscode": "^1.45.0"
    },

If you're certain that your extension will work with an older version like "^1.32.0" , update the engines key in your package.json as well as the version of @types/vscode, etc. in your devDependencies.

If this doesn't work, make sure that all the paths in your package.json are specified correctly.

Turns out I was using mkdirp but it wasnt specified in dependencies in package.json, adding the following line fixed everything:

"dependencies": {
    "mkdirp": "^0.5.1"
  }
