Couldn't find message for key cmake-tools.configuration.cmake.options.advanced.statusBarLength.description

Brief Issue Summary

For a while now (at least 3 months), the cmake-tools extension has been spamming the shared log with the warning message reproduced below. This happens on startup, and then periodically throughout the session, regardless of whether or not anything cmake-related is open or running; the presence of the installed extension is sufficient to reproduce. Changing the logging level to debug doesn't affect anything in any direction.

This is with vscode-cmake-tools v1.17.16 running on the latest MS-published vscode build (1.86.2) on Linux (repros on Ubuntu noble daily, Ubuntu jammy, Ubuntu bionic with the older still-compatible vscode 1.85.whatnot). No idea about other OS-es, sorry.

The locale environment is LANGUAGE=en_US and LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and it also reproduces with LANG=C .

It looks like the correct key is cmake-tools.configuration.cmake.options.advanced.statusBarLength.markdownDescription. Needs to be updated in package.json.

@mihailim @bobbrow Thanks for pointing this out, I have a PR open here: #3618

How do I resolve the issue if I don't have a package.json file?

[mihailim]

@IkeCuizhihui If you don't want to wait for the next extension release and it bothers you that much, you can switch to the prerelease version of the extension -- open the extension's page (go to Extensions and click on CMake Tools) then click the "Switch to Pre-Release Version" button under the extension description, next to the "Disable" and "Uninstall" buttons. Then after it switches, click Reload, and then you may need to close and reopen vscode once to fully get rid of the warning spam.

But, to be honest, I wouldn't risk it if it's a prod environment you need to be sure the extension is stable and working. After all, it's not that big of a deal, more or less an aesthetic annoyance.

It's been two months since this was merged.

Any chance someone can cut a release that includes this?
