To debug, could I get a bit more information?

• Do you use VSCode, or some similar variant, eg Cursor, VSCodium?
• It could be that one of the extensions has a broken manifest. Could you provide a list of all your installed extensions? You can do this with:

code --list-extensions

• Do you have any extensions installed via a different means than the VSCode extension marketplace?

There is a high chance that @ashchen738 has a local installed extension which does not contain a metadata field (this get injected from the "install via store") and therefore there is no publisherId.

The fix should be straight forward. Make metadata optional (e.metadata?.publisherId instead of e.metadata.publisherId) here and here.
Also mark metadata as nullable as well as here and here.

It seems that I forget that only store based extension have these fields when I impl. that feature.

I think this sounds about right. I do have a locally installed extension.

@ashchen738 I made a fix for the issue (#9888). Maybe you can check if it fix your issue.
