After having to manually install Ver 1.2.4 I was able to update Powershell to V7.1. The same program that cannot install any of its own required extensions can successfully install the latest version of Powershell. Azure Data Studio without extensions and Python installed is basically unusable. The only alternative outside of spending hours trying to resolve the poor offline installation experience is to simply abandon use entirely. New releases should clearly document when they are dependant on upgrades to other components. The design of Azure Data Studio is such that almost all functionality requires additional components and these should be clearly listed and available to install All of the VSIX files also need to be manually downloaded and installed.ĭescribe the solution or feature you'd likeĪ clearly documented method to download and install ALL of required components and not just the main executable.Installing Ver 1.2.4 had a hidden upgrade of requiring an upgrade of the PowerShell pip file. (d) Where pip files can be downloaded from (c) Which additional pip files are required (and when these change) (a) Which version of Python are supported The notebook "feature" requires a Python installation and the Offline installation of this component is even more hopeless. Installation or update of all of the secondary dependancies has the exact same issues.This problem can be worked around by downloading the latest installation file Automatic update of Azure Data Studio never works.When trying to install or use Azure Data Studio on machines that are not left wide open to Internet the following issues always occur The current experience of installing Azure Data Studio on systems that are either behind Proxy servers or not connected to Internet is extremely time-consuming and frustrating.
